The mother in law was in nearby Sunrise Hospital so we stayed here. We stay at a lot of Resi Inns and the staff at this one went way out of their way to be friendly and make us feel comfortable. Room was big and clean although it had a well-used feel to it. The down-stairs room had a suprisingly comfortable murphy bed.
We will definately stay again.

Having a kitchen in Vegas is a great idea - especially if you're going to take advantage of the amazing meals around town and have left-overs to nibble.

The accommodations meet your needs without being lavish, but there's plenty of lavish in Vegas elsewhere. The hotel is located adjacent to the elevated monorail making the mile or so walk unnecessary, unless you're interested in walking to the strip.

I did not hear neighbors walking above us; we were on the ground floor with one level above us. The breakfast was eggs, pancakes, cereal, and fruit: a nice selection targeting the rodeo people who were in town that week.

The only drawback was the hotel's inability to prevent solicitors papering the rooms. in the late afternoon over 10 menus were stuffed under our door which does not give the feeling of privacy or safety.

If you're frugal and wondering if this place is worth it, I believe it is a good deal.

Had to extend our stay unexpectedly and went to the yellowpages to see places with a kitchen

Only the Residence Inn Convention Centre had an ad (unfortunately for us); so, based on past experiences with the brand, I figure it cant be that bad

Now, Residence Inn is not a 5 star resort -- i know that; but this RI is definitely showing its age

OUTDATED
We got a studio room with a queen bed. The kitchen cabinets & stove looked like it hasnt been updated since the 80s. Bathroom was the same (had a wood sliding door for the shower/bathtub area)

LOUD
- it's underneath the flightpath for LAS airport = frequent buzz/noise; we stayed at Mandalay Bay (beside the airport) and didnt hear planes taking off/landing

- ventilation system; we had to shutoff the HVAC since it was just too loud

- fridge (probably another sign of age...), quite noisy as well when it starts up every so often

"Positives"
The breakfast is standard Residence Inn; business centre has 2 computers with internet access

There's a pool (didnt use; but was open even in early dec) & on-site laundry

Monorail & convention centre is directly next door, so it's convenient in that sense; the roads around the hotel have center dividers, so you have to be travelling in a certain direction to enter the hotel (either southbound on Paradise, or westbound on Dessert Inn)

Clean room & linen

Staff friendly (didnt really have much interaction)

This Residence Inn is designed in an apartment complex style. It's extremely clean and quiet, which is a refreshing change from the strip. It's directly across the street from the convention center. The strip is a little over a half mile away. The road to the strip is pretty isolated at night, and as a woman, I wasn't comfortable walking the route to the strip alone at night, but I felt safe walking with another person and saw other convention-goers doing the same. The monorail is directly across the street, so that is another quick and safe way to get to the strip, and taxis are everywhere. The service at this hotel was as good as I've experienced at other Residence Inns around the country. The desk staff was friendly and attentive, and the housekeeping staff was great. Breakfast was hot, fresh, and well stocked. I'd definitely stay here again the next time I'm in town for a convention.
