The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was well equipped. Shower was great but the bathroom was all open, which I’m not used to but I suppose it’s a matter of preference. The bed was firm but comfortable, I slept like a baby. Would stay here again

Clean spotless, great service, amazing friendly staff. Great location close to nightlife but also close to old town. Fantastic stay, room facing the strip can get a bit noisy but if you keep windows close it helps a lot. There is nothing not to like here, just a great hotel with great hospitality.
