We booked this trip with tripres.com, which I must add they corrected all issues we experienced by switching hotels for us. Aruba Hotel has got to be the worst experience we have ever had. The entire description is incorrect and the photos are deceiving. We arrived to the hotel late, as the flight was a late flight. We had to... more

Me and my friends were very disapointed! There was terible hotel service, dirty rooms, disqusting bathrooms with NO towels. We asked for towels couple times, they promised to bring them and they finally did last night (2 towels for 4 people:o). We are not picky people but this one was too much. more

Normally, we read reviews but didn't in this case and chose to stay here because a trusted music event had held their annual festival here a few months ago and after looking at the website thought it looked like a decent place. Big mistake! I would not recommend this place to anyone. By looking at the photos on their professional... more

We were heading to Vegas on a business trip, then decided to make it a longer stay and have some fun. We picked the Aruba because it has a pool, restaurant and lounge on the property. (We were on vacation after all!) AND... The price was certainly well within our budget!! Once we navigated the airport(!) We had no problem... more

Just returned from Las Vegas and yes, I did stay at The Aruba. Reason being, the usual places I book were either sold out on one or more nights of my stay, or were off the charts pricewise due to conventions and spring break. After reading some other reviews of this place I have to say ... use some common... more

This hotel wasn't quite as bad as some of the reviews on here. It's kinda ghetto, and a lot of the cab drivers don't know where it's at, but for the price you really can't beat it. The room was a little dusty and the walls were thin, but for the most part it was clean. The emplyees are really... more

I was very skeptical about the place when i made the reservation but still decided to give it a shot. Upon arrival the Front desk staff was very helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. I would definately come here again. more

This hoe-TEL was the hottest mess I’ve ever seen….please do not confuse me for the illiterate as I do know how to spell. However, in this case, this was exactly what you’re thinking when I say “hoe” tel…I half expected louie the pimp to meet me in the parking lot to convince me of how $10 would get me $20!!!... more

Room was basic and functional. Beds were comfortable. We loved Liam, the bar tender. Breakfast is inexpensive and tasty but not available Monday and Tuesday. We easily flagged down taxis to take us to the strip and airport. It's funky and full of history. It is a bit away from the main part of the strip but only a $15... more
