Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was in dyer need of repairs the beds moved/slid when you tried to sit on them very uncomfortable to sleep on as well. The baseboards were coming off the walls. Their were bugs crawling on the bathroom walls. The room maids didn't replenish our bath towels and wash clothes. The service sucked. The mini fridge didn't even have a freezer for frozen foods. Just over all a bad stay in a bad room definitely wont go back to this hotel again.

I've been staying here every year for a few years. It's comfortable and incredibly convenient to walk to the strip and get around. This year however, my only concern is that the mattresses need replaced. Both my daughter and I could feel the springs our beds. It's never happened before. I hope they replace some of them soon.
