Crestwood Suites - Las Vegas Blvd.
March 28-31, 2008
Our stay here did not start out very well, we made reservation through their website. We received a confirmations from them. When we arrived in Vegas they had no reservations for us, Even though we had a valid confirmation number. The internet number is different than their reservation number. We were told that we should have CONTACTED Crestwood Suites in Vegas direct to make sure they had a reservation for us. We have never had to do that in all our many reservations we have made on the internet. Then the discription of the room we reserved stated that it had a well-lit kitchen talbe/work area (HA), a comfortable well-lit living area (WHERE). We expected it to be like other suites we have stayed in. To our surprize we got a counter with 1 chair. The living room chair was in the way. They would have moved us latter but that woud have been a major chore. The room could be bearable if only one person was staying in it and you were in the room very little. We feel that their advertising is not true to what they offer. To get what we had thought we were getting you would have to reserve a Deluxe Suite. I could go on about other things, but will not. Bottom line is we will NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE ever again. Even though it is close to family and that is the only reason we go to Vegas.

If you are looking to pay the high price to stay on the strip with no room amenities such as a microwave, coffee pot, refrigerator then Crestwood Suites is not for you. It was wonderful to have the ability to cook, heat and refrigerate food on the spot without having to move our bodies and car everytime we wanted to eat. Management statting has changed in the last year for the positive and it is evident. Staff was friendly, I mentioned some of the negative reviews to the staff and they admitted that many of the negative comments about the property were true, but in the past 12 months new management has cleaned house. Great location to McCarran Airport . We were too pleased that the new McCarran Airport Rental center for "all rental cars" is literally 2 blocks away. Across the street is the Las Vegas Premium Outlet Mall with 2 food courts,100 stores with more coming ( construction underway). Also on the same grounds with the Outlet Mall are numerous name restaurants, fast food outlets, gas stations. Grocery store is about 2 blocks south of hotel-convenient to stock your room. Yes, the room lacks ambience and the furniture and carpet are due for a change, but it was clean, quaint and for $79.99 AAA rate per night, it was ample. This is very convenient to the strip. Just drive N on Las Vegas Blvd about 5 minutes.

This place was decent enough. If you have a car with you then this place is a decent option because you can just drive to the strip and park at the big casino's for free. Its a bit south of the airport on the Las Vegas Blvd. I'm not sure if this is a Las Vegas thing or not but when the toilet is flushed it sounds like its going to rip itself right down through the floor. The whole room shook when it was flushed. I noticed something similar at the Luxor too. The front desk staff were fine.

Pros:
- Price
- Convenient location (with car)
- Clean
- Suite style room
- Password protected Wi-Fi

Cons:
- Strange smell of cleaner when you first enter the room
- Smaller room
- Super loud toilet

I stayed here with a friend one night and it wasn't as bad as some of these reviews make it sound. The staffing wasn't all that bad in my opinion. They did refuse to call a cab for us though which I thought was strange. The room was decent. It was clean. I didn't smell any bad odors like some of the reviews say. Overall, it was very average.
