After a week on the strip for a combined business/pleasure trip, we checked in here for the day before our red-eye flight back to the east coast. It's listed as an "airport" hotel, but it's no more near the airport than the strip hotels, but it has a lot of the conveniences of a typical airport hotel.
Pros:
-Friendly Staff at Front Desk and Coffee Shop
-Au Bon Pain licensed Coffee Shop open until 10 PM with some of the chain's typical fare along with other hot items. Plus ice cream and drinks.There is a small area where you can eat or you can take it to go.
-Free Conference Rooms and Work Stations in the Lobby available first come first serve. We used the Conference Rooms while we waited to checkin. Executive Style Seating with a lovely conference table and speakerphone. Free toll-free and local calls.
-Free Wireless Connection throughout hotel including guest rooms. Easy to setup and strong connection throughout the day. (Strip hotel can charge up to $12 per laptop per 24 hours)
-Small Pool
-Free Warm Cookies at Checkin in usual Doubletree Style - yum.
-Great Neutrogena bath products
-Shower Curtain on half-circle shower bar giving extra room in the shower
-Super Comfy Bed and Pillows
-Large TV and Sitting Areas in Lobby
-Shuttle to MGM Casino and 24 hour airport shuttle at no extra charge
-Applebees in same office park complex
-Coffee Maker in Room (Noted another review that there were refrigerators in room, but I think that that may be in upgraded rooms only.)
-Short Taxi Ride to an Outlet Mall, the fantastic Panevino Restaurant, and the strip (10-15 minutes and $13.95 taxi fare to Mandalay Bay section of strip)
-Free and Plentiful Parking
Cons:
-Shower was fairly clean but the grout in the corner could use some serious attention
-The hotel and the guest rooms had an odd odor -- I wouldn't describe it as a bad odor, just odd. They were painting and refinishing the exercise room while we were here so that could be the culprit.
-Has a little bit of a "starting to age" feel, but it really doesn't detract from the experience
-Air Conditioning was a little loud and a little all or nothing. But in 100 degree heat, we weren't hot so what more can you say.
