I found this hotel via an Expedia Travel Deal I bought as part of a birthday trip to Vegas for a group of 5 people. We stayed here this past weekend and got booked for room 4309 & 4309A in Tower III, 4th floor. We flew into Vegas, therefore, arrived very early in the morning. Staff were friendly and professional, they even had a welcome package for guests, which is primarily, coupons and reading material regarding things to do in Vegas. I did not get a sales pitch, as other customers have complained about, which I truly appreciate. We were not able to get the early check-in we were hoping for, but we were able to check-in our luggage so we could wander around to the surrounding hotel/casinos, comfortably, without having to drag our luggage around with us. The hotel staff, did call us about 2:30pm to allow us to check-in before their standard 4pm check-in time.Which gave us time to nap and relax before hitting the night scene, at no extra charge.\n\nThe room itself was better than what I was expecting, (size wise & layout,) in fact it's like a mini-apartment, fully equipped with a small kitchen in the main room with a stove, coffeemaker, full size refrigerator, microwave, pots, wineglasses, cutlery, and a dishwasher. The adjacent suite has a miniature kitchenette with a mini microwave, small sink, and mini-fridge. The master bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed that shares a nice size bathroom with a good sized hot-tub, and two sinks/mirrors facing each other. The suite also has its own smaller bathroom with sink and shower only. The room was very clean and there were plenty of clean towels, which I really appreciated. There are three mini closets, one in the master bedroom, one in the hallway, and one in the suite. The suite has a sofa bed that looked quite comfortable and was already set up for us when we arrived. There is a second sofa and full-size murphy bed in the living room. The only downside of the latter is that in order to use the murphy bed, one must rearrange the furniture, including the dining table if you want walking space while the murphy bed is in use. Over the dining table is a chandelier, which became quite a dangerous thing after we had to move the table to use the murphy bed because everyone in our group ended up hitting their head on the light fixture (more than once;) therefore, this fixture should be completely removed or raised a few inches higher. There is a flat screen television in each of the rooms. There are, what i think is two balconies, one ample sized one in the suite, which throws off the entire set up since the suite is quite small, and the master bedroom that is bigger, has a very small balcony that barely fits two people, standing. The hotel has a rooftop pool, which is nice; however, the pool area is very small for the size of the hotel. On a hot Vegas day, it hardly caters to more than 50 people. I do think they should add a second pool area, maybe at ground level, just to accommodate more customers on a hot day.\n\n\nI really like that the hotel is in the center of the strip, but not fully on the strip, just behind the mini shopping center that houses the McDonald's & Fatburger, just a 5 minute walk away from the MGM, Planet Hollywood, and across from the New York New York, Arias, and Cosmopolitan. Approximately a 15 minute walk to Hooters & the Tropicana, at a slow pace. I LOVE that this hotel does not have a casino, primarily because it does not stink of cigar smoke and you also don't have all the noise from the hustle and bustle of the casino activity, which makes it more tranquil and relaxed. However, I'm not much of a gambler. On the other hand, my gambling friends, did not like that the hotel has no casino. It also does not an on site restaurant/eatery, which makes it difficult for late dinners/night caps and/or early breakfasts. Nor does it offer complimentary anything, compared to the other hotels,this does make it feel like your business is not much appreciated.\n\nMy main complaints about this room is that the AC would turn off/on all day and night and rattled A LOT, and very loudly, which was very ANNOYING and made it impossible to relax and get a good night sleep. We tried  turning it off, but were unsuccessful. Also, the hot tub does not work and the screen panel door in the balcony of the master bedroom was busted, which really sucked because we could not sleep with the door open to allow fresh air into the room. Also, the window in the living room had no screen panel, so it was scary to even open the window, specially if you take children, do not open the window as it is dangerous, and an accident waiting to happen. They also need better signs to direct you to your tower/room. If all these little details were not evident, I would have given this place a 5 star rating.\n\nOverall, I would return to this hotel, but I would double check the AC for annoying rattlings. We were 5 people, but I think this easily caters to 6-8 people relatively comfortable.
