I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the main strip, making it perfect for those wanting to be in the heart of the action. However, the service was disappointing, with staff that often seemed unhelpful and borderline rude. The room itself was clean but not as spacious as I had hoped, and I encountered issues that dampened my stay. Overall, I would say it's a decent place if you value location over service and comfort.

Overall, my stay was quite mixed. The hotel had a great location near the Main Strip and just a short walk from the beach. The rooms were functional but not extravagant, and while the staff could be more attentive, some were friendly and helpful. The dining experience fell short in terms of breakfast options, but the pool was a relaxing area to unwind. I appreciated the value for money, but there were some inconveniences like the lack of air conditioning in the rooms.

The hotel is ideally located just 10 minutes from the beach and close to the Main Strip, making it a great spot if you're looking to enjoy the nightlife. However, I would recommend against it for families with young children due to noise.

I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms are somewhat outdated and uncomfortable, with issues like bedding not being changed and some basic amenities missing. However, the location on the strip is fantastic, providing easy access to bars and attractions, and the pool area is a definite highlight. Unfortunately, I experienced significant noise disturbance at night due to rowdy guests, which made for some restless nights.

The hotel is located in a lively area, close to the party strip and several restaurants, which is great if you're looking for entertainment. The rooms are quite dated and could certainly use a refresh, but they are basic and functional enough for resting. Unfortunately, the service I encountered wasn't very friendly or accommodating, which was a letdown. The pool area is nice, but the nighttime noise can be quite disruptive, so it's not ideal for a relaxing stay.

My stay was quite challenging due to a significant security issue along with noise problems. While the staff worked hard to maintain cleanliness, the hotel's ambiance was not conducive for families, with loud music and rowdy crowds nearby.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was perfect for nightlife and easy access to everything, the overall cleanliness and upkeep left much to be desired. Our room was clean upon arrival but very dated, and the service wasn’t always friendly. The pool area was enjoyable, but I didn’t feel completely safe throughout my stay. It’s affordable, but I would recommend staying vigilant if you're considering this place.

This hotel was truly a nightmare experience for us. The initial welcome was marred by an overwhelming delay in getting our room, which was uncomfortable, especially for my elderly mother. The overall cleanliness was disappointing, highlighted by an awful stench in the lift and an unacceptable state of the room. However, we managed to find a brighter option to salvage our holiday after this debacle. I can’t recommend this place if you value comfort and cleanliness.

This hotel is ideally located right on the strip, making it easy to access nightlife and local attractions, but it's not without its issues. The rooms are basic and could use some serious renovations, often feeling more like a jail cell than a holiday place. While the pool is decent and well-kept, the overall atmosphere can be quite raucous due to the party crowd. It’s affordable, but the value for money might not be worth it for families or those looking for a quieter getaway.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the lively strip, perfect for a fun getaway. The room was quite spacious and equipped with everything needed for a week's stay, but it had a damp smell and wasn't very clean when I arrived. The service left a lot to be desired, as the staff were unfriendly and didn't meet our cleaning expectations during our stay.
