What locals say
Locals have left nearly 1,600 reviews. Staff lead the praise, from the entrance to checkout, then clean rooms, bedding and the view. Guests rate the pool among the best on the strip, families like the kids rooms, and there is a Starbucks and a convenience store in the building. Check-in and check-out are often handled flexibly. It is expensive, and that is about the only complaint.
