Staff was pretty blah. They weren't rude but not one really said hello or acknowledged you. The lady checking us in could have cared less. Rooms were clean but they are in need of renovation. The musty smell was not pleasant even though everything was clean.

Stayed 8 days and i dont think the sheets were changed 1 time what they call a double bed is just a large twin , no room service for food.The resturant they make you wait for a table when 3/4 tables are empty . The place is under construction and the rooms look like a motel 6, the staff are very friendly, when we called for towels they were there in under 5 mins . The fees are ridiculous charging a resort fee and then adding a 25 dollar a day parking fee on top of it. 4 nights a week they have events and the people staying there cant get a parking spot because of all the laua people.The beat thing they have to offer is proximity to the strip with all the dinning and shops .
