Synopsis:

This used to be a Hampton Inn. In fact it was a Hampton Inn when the reservations were made a couple of weeks ago. It changed names some time last week.

My first room was full of Gnats. When I changed rooms they told me the first floor used to flood when it rained. I guess that could be partly why Hampton Inns sold the property.

Synopsis:

The restaurant was newer and I got a Cheese Steak the first night. It was pretty good. I got the food and went back to my room. The hotel is old and in dire need of upgrading. The furniture was newer, but the TV was terribly old. The overall feel was old and skeezy.

Synopsis:

This is a giant Vegas Hotel. The room was large and the elevators to the 26th floor were fast. M stay included 4 free meals in the Buffet and 2 trips to the spa. I only used 2 of the free meals at the Restaurant. They first night it took 45 minutes to get in, waiting in line looking at a 1/3 full seating area. Once I got in, I was on my second serving before they even asked what I wanted to drink. The waiter was taking orders from all of the tables around me for drinks, and when he came back out he didn’t have mine. I asked him why it took so long to get a drink in the buffets in Vegas and he told me that they were understaffed. THat they were busier than they should have been at that time of year.

My second time in took about the same amount of time to gett seated and just as long to get a soda. That was my only complaint about the hotel, but was such a disappointment that it brought their whole rating down.
