The staff was wonderful, very friendly. Super easy check in. Rooms were clean. Older hotel, but it didn't have that old hotel smell. Beds were super comfortable. My only complaint would be the water pressure is lacking in the shower. We didn't get to enjoy the pool, but it looked just like the pictures. Convenient location, relatively quiet. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Great value for the money.

Furniture falling apart from water damage, metal frame spring beds, Tv didnt work,nhone didn't work, USB didn't work, frayed cord on lamp. And was told there was a continental breakfast. There wasnt. Had to get maintenance guy to fix TV. Just a dirty looking room from being so outdated.

Loved the quietness of the area, bout a 10 minute walk to the strip but with the trolly it was fine. Much better than staying down on the strip in my opinion. Faculty were super nice and informative. Great place for a weekend getaway with the family

Very limited parking. Bathroom sink had a drain issue … kept stopping up. No microwave in the room. We were there for 3 nights and never had maid service available to us. The back sliding glass door didn’t want to lock. Luckily they had a security bar to help.
