Decent property tucked a block from the main strip, so its very quiet. No breakfast. So budget an extra 35 a day. Room was spacious but smelled like mold. Allergies went nuts. Nice TV and Shower. Bed was horrible for our worn backs. We checked out 1 night early to go home to get some rest. Pre check in was great. Walked in and grabbed our keys.

Overall nice stay

Everything was great, the location was great, everything was clean, plenty of hot water, but the bed was the hardest and most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever slept on. The balconies and seating were nice to enjoy the weather and surrounding mountains. No smell of weed, like there seems to be literally everywhere else.

Quiet off the strip but walkable to it. Easy in and out check in. Friendly staff. Loved having a balcony to sit on. Only downer of that was the smoking neighbors. Had to go inside and even made our room smell like smoke. But that is no fault of the hotel, just be aware it happens. Will definitely stay again!

First negative review ever given.

We are a family of 7 and we book way ahead of our planned trips in order to get joining rooms. We showed up and did not have joining rooms. Spoke to Danielle at the counter and she said there were no notes made but when I showed her there was she said “ Well I see it now but I didn’t assign the rooms and there is nothing I can do!” She said “Let me help the next people and I’ll deal with you later.” I asked Danielle why she was being rude and she said she wasn’t and she said she didn’t say that. We have been coming here for over a decade and this was very rude. We came here before the renovations and have always left a good review. In fact, I’ve never left a bad review anywhere prior to this one. As I said, we purposely book well in advance since we have a need for two joining rooms. On this night, we had to sleep with adults in different rooms.
