It was a convenient location, but the room we got smelled like cigarets the whole time we stayed there, the smell even stayed on our clothes after we left, the pillows and sheets smelled like smoke as well and the smell wouldn’t go away, even though we got a non smoking room.

Great Family Weekend Trip

Hotel is in a great location. Trolley pick up right outside the hotel so no need to drive down the strip. The hotel is an older hotel but kept up well. The beds were comfortable.
Balcony view and trolley pick up location. Mountain coaster with in walking distance was a plus for my family!
