Let me start by saying I have stayed here in the past. As Hilton Platinum I typically receive a room upgrade and/or breakfast. In the past I've stayed in the one bedroom suites and they are nice with a kitchen and separate bath and shower.

This trip I was booked into a "studio". When I say it was no different than a typical Motel 6, I'm serious. It was very small, the word cramped comes to mind. The hotel was maybe 50% capacity, although the check-in person who was really nice although a bit clueless kept saying we have a lot of people who own a HGV stake staying here.

I guess if you own a HGV membership for a one bedroom suite, sure it's a good place to stay. Otherwise, with the current offers available on the strip I would not stay here again.

LOCATION
As previously mentioned, location is down strip a bit although you can walk to Sahara casino if you want to gamble. There is a CVS within a 3 minute walk where you can get snacks, drinks, etc.. to bring back to room.

CHECK-IN
The check-in was slow considering there were 3 people checking in guests and only 2 people ahead of me in line when I arrived at 8:30pm. It took about 20 minutes. I knew I was in trouble when the woman checking me in said we have a great room in tower 2, where i had stayed in the past, then she sad "h actually no that is not available, but i have another great room in tower 1." When I got to the room it was awful, it appears some room have been remodeled, so ask at check-in if you are getting an remodeled room.

ROOM
As noted BIG difference between one bedroom suite which was nice and studio which was awful. In need of updating. Neither room had flat screen TV. Otherwise, was clean, but nothing "fancy".

NOTE: There is no casino on the property which I like as I was out here for work and it was a distraction free lobby.

It is a hotel, not a casino. Has really great staff, the rooms are clean and provides great value for mo.ney. Close to all Vegas land marks. Would visit again.

Although this hotel lacks the spice of the other hotels in Las Vegas it is a very nice place to stay. I was in a two bedroom suite which was perfect for us 3 travelers. The hotel itself did not have a casino or any restaurants but its situated on the strip so you are not too far from all the action. The pool area was gorgeous and the climate in November beautiful! I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here as part of a timeshare presentation package. This is a decent hotel, certainly not one that will blow your socks away, but nice enough. The pool was great. There was plenty of seating and spots in and out of the sun (though we were there on weekdays, so it might have been busier on the weekend). The rooms were nice, clean, and adequate. The housekeeping left a bit to be desired the second day around, but all in all, we enjoyed the room.

Don't expect to be right in the heart of the action. I knew this before we arrived, having been to the Strip many times before. There's a monorail that runs all day and is accessible through the Sahara (across the street from the hotel, about a 5 minute walk) that will take you to all the bigger casinos.

This is a good place to go if you want to be in a quieter part of the strip, don't mind walking to get to a casino, and are okay with the pool bar as being your sole source of quick eats (otherwise, you have to leave the hotel to get some food). Did I mention that I loved the pool? :)
