The place itself was ok, close enough to the strip. However, my problem was the charges added to my room after I left, $250 for "deep cleaning". Although maid services are provided, I was told there was "trash littered throughout the hotel". For $250 I would take a job at the Carriage House and just clean hotels!

We stayed for 4 days at the Carriage House and had a very pleasant stay. When we checked in the first room they checked us into smelled strongly like cigarette smoke (room 607) despite our request of a non-smoking room. The second room (#420) was much more to our liking and smelled just fine.

The location is great. Planet Hollywood is across the street, and MGM Grand and the Bellagio are close by. The staff was always friendly and courteous, and greeted us as we came and went and made us feel at home.

The rooms are very large - like a typical one bedroom apartment. They feel a bit worn out, but still are well decorated in slightly worn and outdated furnishings. The kitchen is reasonably stocked with cutlery and glasses. The cleaning staff didn't clean dishes - which isn't unusual in suites we've stayed in.

The rooms did a good job with noise, but it was still possible to hear the monorail going by - and one night someone nearby had their TV turned way up and we could hear the muffled sound through the walls.

Another reviewer mentioned theft - and, while I don't doubt him/her at all, we didn't have any problem with this. We left both of our laptops out while we were out during the day all four days and didn't have any issue with them or anything else going missing.

Overall, the rooms are a bit aged looking, and it's definitely not a glamorous hotel, but the rooms are large and comfortable. Parking wasn't a problem. It's easy to walk everywhere. The strip is less than 5 minutes walk away. The monorail - which is fairly useless by the way - is 10 minutes walk south to MGM. Great location, inexpensive rates and a large comfortable room.

Great Property and Great Location !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stayed here between Christmas and New Year's. Location could not have been much better. You are a few hundred yards from the Strip and near Plant Hollywood. This place is small and more like an older Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express. It is very well maintained with most of the staff having been there many years. Parking was GREAT if you have a car. Pool area is very acceptable for the size of the complex and both the pool and hot tub are heated. If you like easy access to your room and can pass on gambling all the time this is probably the best place to stay in Vegas.


Plus: Location, price and parking. Not for party people

Neg: If you enjoy a Casino you may be disappointed. Not for party people.

Check out Ellis Island on Koval for "" GREAT "" food.

I stayed 4 nights at this timeshare/hotel after Christmas entering the new year. I found that the while that the facility does not have the same amenities as a regular hotel, it was close to the strip, the rooms were spacious and in the end, the facility was acceptable. The security of your personal belongings is another matter. On New Year's Eve my wife decided to leave a personal article inside our room because the weather did not merit wearing it during the day. When we came back later at night, we found it was gone. No one had gone into the room other than the maid, (s) so we called our maid in and asked her about it and of course she said she did not know anything about it. The Supervisor did not even call us. Afterward, my wife, talked to the General Manager who said she would check into it, and subsequently called us to report that she had investigated this and that she felt that her maids would not do such a thing, that they had family to support, and that they needed their health insurance and that they had all been working there a long time, and suggesting if it was missing it was our fault. he made the both of feel that maybe we had been hallucinating, on drugs, lying, trying to cheat or maybe all four. Their was no offer of compensation, no other help of any kind, or even an apology. We had to take the loss. If fact, we now know that you can put a "do not disturb sign on your door" and then have the maid come in and clean while you are there. You have this option, they do not like it, but they will do it. Watch the staff. Your personal articles can also be put inside your suitcases and secured and this might deter them. The management at this hotel will not help you, they DO NOT CARE; so, be careful with your belongings...
