This hotel is conveniently located close to the strip — about a 10–15 minute walk (uphill on the way back). It’s also a trolley stop, which was really nice when we didn’t feel like walking. We had a poolside room that felt somewhat secluded, though it could get a little noisy at night with kids playing in the outdoor pool. The air conditioning in our room was not functioning properly upon arrival, but the maintenance staff responded promptly and provided a fan while addressing the issue, which we greatly appreciated. The only drawback to our stay was the lack of comfort in the bed and pillows. However, aside from that, we were pleased with our experience overall and would not hesitate to stay here again. I will simply plan to bring my own pillow next time.
