Located along the I-15, across the highway from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, this hotel provided a pleasant stay. It seems to be newly constructed, and it's well maintained (i.e. everything is very clean...the rooms, the bathrooms, etc.). The check-in staff were very courteous, and the entire hotel is completely non-smoking, a relief from casino hotels I stayed at. Near the hotel there are a couple of other similar hotels, but nothing else within walking distance. I had a rental car so getting to/from the hotel and around Vegas wasn't a problem. The desk clerk did mention that the hotel did provide a shuttle to the airport and to the Strip (I never used the shuttle so I'd check on that one).

Others have posted about the airplane noise, and it's true. During flying hours (maybe 6am-11pm ???) you will hear the planes outside, but it's not horrendous. In the morning, when I was in my room watching tv, the noise didn't bother me (I really didn't hear the planes because of the tv). However, if you're trying to sleep during the day or early evening, then the planes might be a real bother.

While I enjoyed my stay, the hotel can be pricey for what it is. I don't know what a comparable hotel in a comparable location should cost. I paid under $100 per night while the listed price was $199. I think I paid a very fair price. Most of the cheap rooms in Vegas are attached to casinos which means lots of cigarette smoke. As long as I could get a fair price, I would definitely stay here again.

At the last minute I had to attend training for work in Las Vegas and this hotel was one of the few that was available at a price I could pay. I'm not one for much of the stuff on the Strip and so I really appreciated the quiet suburban location that was a short drive from the airport. The staff were helpful and the hotel was very clean. I was thankful for the Trader Joe's grocery across the street and an upscale pizza place in the shopping center around the back of the hotel as good alternatives for the usual travel fare.

A nice surprise! I have stayed at all the big hotels in Vegas at one time or another and this one is a gem. Smallish but with all the services a businessperson needs. It is on the opposite side of the strip which, if you aren't into gaming, is a plus. Less noise, less crowded, better atmosphere, etc. The bed was comfortable, the bathrooms was clean and the staff was polite. The only downside is the noise from the airport. The hotel is at the end of the runway...or at least it feels that way. Plane traffic starts up at about 5:30am am and ends around 10pm so at least the whole evening isn't noisy. Overall a great experience. It is one of the more upscale Courtyards I have stayed in and would return if back in Las Vegas.

Stayed one night on a Saturday night on our way south on I-15.

The Good:
- Beautiful rooms. Great furnishings and finish, both in great condition. We had a 2-queen room on the south-eastern end of the building, 3rd floor, overlooking the pool/courtyard, with a balcony, facing away from the adjacent interstate. Small refrigerator and in-room coffee maker.
- The pool area was very nice. Good-sized pool with rock water feature and a good-sized hot-tub. Poolside towel service.
- Nice lobby area. Plenty of seating area, plasma TV, modest bar, and three computers hooked up to high-speed internet and shared laser printer.
- Good location for accessing the Palms, the Orelans and Rio by car. You can take surface streets north to these casinos without having to cross or travel upon the strip.

The Bad:
- They had the worst free coffee in the lobby of any hotel I have ever stayed at. I am no coffee snob; I would never spend more than $1 for a cup of joe. But this stuff was, at all times, lousy.
- The screen door on the balcony fell out of its track as soon as I touched it.
- The hotel sits west of the airport, directly across I-15. On the evening we were there, the flight departure path was directly over the hotel. Frequent noise, that only seemed to slow between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
- There isn't much in the way of food service in the area. The hotel has a cafe, but there isn't much else around in the way of non-casino, family restaurants. The staffer didn't have much to recommend to us in the way of restaurants.
