Okay, so, I booked this hotel on a whim a few days prior to my trip because the reviews seemed good for it on a couple sites. Afterwards, I did more digging and found a ton of bad reviews about it being unsafe, smelling bad, no hot water, pool being shut down, etc etc. it made me so nervous I attempted to get my hotel changed via Priceline which was a no go. So I'm here to give an updated review across a couple platforms because websites like Priceline haven't had an updated review since December 2023!
The good: Yes this hotel is off the strip and a little tucked away in a semi industrial area. However, I did not feel unsafe parking my car in their parking lot, each time I parked at night they had a security guard walking around also. I liked the plenty of parking! The security guards were actually the most friendly staff members I spoke to there!
This is not some little shack motel, there are two levels of rooms (plus the ground level) so it does give the "hotel vibe". It was actually pretty darn quiet the whole time I was there. Not many people lounging or walking around. The decor was cute, and you could tell they updated things to be elegant and hip.
Response to other reviews: the internet worked just fine with me, and the tv allows for YouTube, Netflix or general direct tv channels. Also, there was no bad smell, lots of people said it smelled terrible and I had no unpleasant smells on the "third floor". I am not a smoker, nor do I like the smell so I definitely would have been turned off if there was a smell. And lastly, the pool worked all weekend, I even called ahead due to multiple reviews saying it was shut down earlier in the month. It was cute outside around the pool area.
The bad: As you can see in the photos, the room was not cleaned wonderfully and it seemed like a rush remodel. Also, multiple people mentioned the walls were super thin. I didn't have problems with the walls being thin but damn people slamming doors in hallway was loud and the person above me walked like an elephant which was SO LOUD. I don't know why they walked around so much. It was terrible. The coffee being served downstairs was so watery, I just tossed it in favor of asking for another keurig coffee pod to just make a cup in the room. My biggest dislike, and the reason I'm giving three stars instead of four stars is because of the hot water. Multiple people mentioned no hot water, and damn it they were right. Of the five showers I took/attempted, four of the five was freezing water. Not luke warm which may have been welcomed after 100 degree weather. I'm talking COLD water even with the handle turned all the way to hot. Only the first morning was the shower water even remotely "warm". This was such a disappointment as I literally only was under the water the one morning the water was manageable, all other showers were me washing off to the side and putting body parts into water to rinse quickly.
