We had a few hiccups during our stay. We lost power on day two apparently a tripped breaker, and our travel companions in another room had zero hot water until late on day two. The pool was a great amenity and helped ease the tension but could have used a good vacuuming. Communication between the staff was difficult as there was no one there after 5:00. Both are minor problems and were fixed. We refused to let all that dampen our spirits and will use again.

Great location, would stay again.

We like staying here - 4th time i believe. great location, heated pool, price is good, always meeting fun people at the pool. Just a few small things this time. changed to keyless doors and code does not work until 3pm - no early check-in. Asked for additional towels was told i had to wait and never got them. floor is dirty, wear your flip flops. also giving out wrist bands for pool now?

It was clean and right on the strip. Beds were comfortable and water pressure in shower was strong. We could walk to everything on the strip. Staff was friendly. The only thing I didnt like was that, you could hear the next room's tv or snoring etc.

This is an old school hotel which has been updated. They take a lot of care in cleaning. Small rooms and a nice, CLEAN pool. Pool and rooms are on the smaller side but we basically just slept there. Would stay here again
