The bad points outweigh the good for this tired Embassy Suites about a mile from the Las Vegas strip. First the good -- it is clean inside, I had no issues with housekeeping. It is quiet, I was not bothered by outside noise. And the wi-fi is consistent, with a good signal, and as a Hiltons Honor member, there was no charge for it. But the bad points are numerous. The hotel is past its prime and the hot water roars like a bull when it's turned on. I am sure my early morning showers disturbed other guests. The entire time the water was running it sounded like a jet engine. The hot water handle on the bathroom sink came off in my hand and I had to screw it back on. The small refrigerator was turned off and smelly when we first checked in, and once I turned it back on it dripped annoyingly through the night and disturbed my sleep.
The vending machine on my floor was not well stocked and would not take dollar bills for my entire stay. There are only two guest washing machines for a hotel with 11 guest floors, and I could never find one that wasn't being used. The hotel does not offer a shuttle to the Strip, so if you don't want to face Las Vegas traffic, you're limited to taking the monorail, calling a taxi (none hang around the Embassy Suites) or walking. And while there is a monorail station about four blocks away, the hotel is located in an area of Vegas that borders on seedy, and I would not recommend making that walk at night. Lastly, I found the hotel staff to be a little on the impatient side and not overly anxious to help with routine questions. Overall, a less than pleasant stay.
