The room was ok, but there are several items that turned us off and that will make us cross them off our hotel list for future trips. My girlfriend and I arrived early (2:30 pm) and, after a 10-minute check-in process, were told that there were no rooms ready for us and that they would call us when our room was ready. We were told we need not wait in line to get our room keys but to just go to the first window. We returned when they called us and went to the first window as directed, much to the disapproval of the people waiting in line who were giving us dirty looks. There was one couple ahead of us so we waited for them to go through what appears to be a required 10-minute check-in process before we could get the keys to our room. Then, we were told to go across the lobby to pick up our parking pass. Although there was no line, we found that this was a ploy to get us scheduled to come to their 45-minute presentation in an effort to get us to become owners of their vacation club.
We were eager to get to our room and fix our martinis to drink while we unpacked but, alas, there was no ice in the freezer and the ice maker was turned off. I called the front desk to ask about an ice machine and was told there are none. I commented that it would be nice if the maids turned on the ice maker when they were preparing the room. I was told that there was some rule that prevented them from doing this. We have never experienced this in all our trips to Vegas and have never had to drink warm martinis upon our arrival. This is not a big deal, but certainly an irritation, especially after the check-in incident.
The room was nicely appointed and adequate but did not look like the room we saw on our web site. Where's the balcony? There are none. We found the 10 am check-out time hard to meet. I called the front desk to ask if it could be extended for one hour. I got a very abrupt and discourteous reply that we could extend it by 1 hour but if we weren't out exactly by 11 am, we would be charged $100. Are they trying to make sure we won't come back?
Then, there were the little things like not having a graduated curb so that we could roll our heavy suitcases into the hotel (isn't this a handicap accessible requirement?); paying for wireless computer access in our room, and the absence of ashtrays in the designated smoking area.
We visit Las Vegas 3 times a year. There are many places to stay so we won't be returning to this hotel.
