I stayed at ESA Valley View for three days and two nights. I got an excellent rate on hotwire($39/night). Very reasonable for Friday and Saturday nights in Vegas. The hotel staff was courteous and friendly. The room was huge. It had seperate living room and bedroom and kitchen with appliances, dinnerware and silverware. Very clean. More than enough space and more than enough parking spaces. I will indeed stay here again.

I recently stayed at the Extended Stay America on South Valley View for one Friday night and had a very good experience. For a $35 Priceline 2* "West of Strip" bid, I got a bedroom with king-size bed (and a comfortably firm mattress), a separate room with combined sitting area/kitchen, a small but clean bathroom, and a walk-in closet. The hotel was less than a 10 minute walk to the Rio, which has good restaurants and a free shuttle to the Strip. I would definitely return to this ESA hotel any time I wanted an inexpensive place to stay that still provided reasonably good access to the Strip.

I was booked to stay several nights in this property. I checked into Room 345 and found fecal material in the toilet, the bathroom floor was filthy. The bed was made but the sheets were wrinkled and there was lipstick and makeup on the pillow. There were other things wrong. I immediately returned to the reception desk to find it "closed for the night". I found an employee who moved me to another room that was only marginally better than the first one. I could barely sleep and checked out in the morning.

I stayed at this hotel once before, in July of 2005, and just six months later it is now gone way down hill. They told me when I checked in that there were prostitues living at the hotel and would be right down the hall from me, but if I had any problems with them, or got solicited to let the front desk know.
The rooms were not as clean as the last time I was there, though the breakfasts were fine. They also had multple hurricain refuges staying there, and though my heart goes out to them, and I think it's kind of sad, it made for what I would delicately call "some colorfull, late night, raised voice conversations" That were very disturbing to me. I once had to call the front desk for fear that some guy was going to beat up or kill his wife or girlfriend. I will not be back to this hotel.
