This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my life!

The manager "OSCAR" was so rude! I get to the front desk and I tell the manager I have paid for one night in advance. He tells me I have to pay for the other two nights up front. I say No I don't I have never done that before and that I will pay for the other two nights before check out time in the morning.

He got angry with me and told me that he would have to cancel my two nights and if they were still available I could get them but not at the rate I had if I didn't pay up front! I asked him where in his hotel did it say I had to pay up front for all nights he just said i'm not going to argue with you its the rule!

I told him to do what he had to do I wasn't going to pay up front. I usually do this because I want to see the room 1st. I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT PAY UP FRONT!! The room is on the second floor. NO ELEVATORS IN THE FREAKIN" HOTEL!!! I had to lug 2 big bags upstairs!! I get upstairs and there are the maids sitting and talking and eating lunch in the hallway!

I open the door to the room and it smells I look at the beds and the spreads on the beds look like they haven't been washed in 20 years! Just nasty and filty dirty! I pull the spreads back and see that the blankts underneath are nastier than the spreads!

I grab my things and go back to the lobby and I tell the manager he has to be kidding if he thinks i'm going to stay in that filth! I tell him to go look for himself but he doesnt want to which leads me to believe he knows what kind of hotel he is running A SLEAZE BAG hotel.

He gives me another room on the 1st floor. I go to this room SMELLS! I look at the bed spreads nasty and dirty! I pull the bed spread back and discover that these beds have no blanket just sheets. I go into the bathroom and there is a 2inch long COCKROACH! i run to the front desk and tell the manager to come look so he won't think I am making this up. He comes to look and gets a maid to come also. I show him and he says the reason there was a roach in my room is because my room was close to the pool area outside! (that is no justification for a big [---] roach to be in my room!) There were no hair dryers or irons in the room like advertised (I wouldn't have used them anyway) The pictures on the website are a smoke screen. The only thing remodeled was the lobby the rooms SUCK!

He then goes on to tell me he can give me a refund. I say that would be good. He then says well if I give you a refund you have to leave! I was like you're kidding me right!

This was All Star Weekend with a couple of conventions going also, even if I did consider leaving there were NO ROOMS available ANYWHERE! I was stuck! Luckily for me I am the type of traveler who brings their own sheets, pillow cases and bath towels or it really would have been all bad!

The next morning I was out of there! my trip was cut short because I didn't have anywhere else to stay and I am so glad my friend that was supposed to come didn't make it, that would have been so embarrasing because I am the one who made the reservations. DONT STAY AT THIS DUMP! If you are used to staying in nice clean hotels Like I am then this is one Howard Johnsons that is giving the chain a bad name.

I found out later through a series of complaints I am giving this hotel that they are all independantly owned and they have the use of the name Howard johnsons. If they get enough complaints the privlage of using the name will be stripped away from the owner. I HOPE SO they don't deserve to use it!

The hotel was good. close by walking to the strtosphere tower between the new strip and old strip. I spent 4 nights in early December, 2006 at the Howard Johnson, My quiet room on the third floor faced the pool and the room was surprisingly spacious, I did have some maintenance problems, but such was taken care of quickly. It occurred only once, and all was in order for the rest of my stay. Front desk and housekeeping staff were courteous and provided able assistance when needed, people is really nice and very kind.
All the needs and advices were gentily attended.
*Bad point*:breakfast is not included but they have a restaurant.
I would be pleased to return to this hotel for my next business travel.

I would say this is probably the best cheap hotel we have ever stayed in on holiday, the rooms are clean and nice they had all what we needed. The pool is not as big but spacious.
The biggest hotels in Las vegas were very very expansive, this is the only hotel we found reasonable prices. I called front desk after midnight to request extra towels and they knocked my door in only one minute. When you wake up there is a clerk at the front desk in the morning always smiling and very helpful.
It is funny in the afternoon you can see many people wearing elvis presley costume and getting married.
If you dont want to spend a lot of money but need an above avarage hotel you have to stay here

This is a great hotel for all the right reasons. It is clean, the staff goes out of its way to be helpful, it is reasonable. It's the kind of hotel Europeans love -- they know what's important. It is AAA rated 2 diamonds. The one drawback is its location. You are a few blocks north of the Stratotower, so really not close to the action on the Strip or downtown. (It is right next to the Little White Chapel where Britany Spears and a ton of celebrities got married.) You'll have to taxi around, drive, or take the new Deuce bus service that goes up and down the Strip and lets out a few feet from the door. About a half-year old, the Deuce (so-called because it is a double-decker) costs $2 a trip, or $5 unlimited trips over 24 hours. It's supposed to run every 10 minutes, and depending on the time of day, it is close. Busy times, the buses tend to bunch up. If you have a pet, this is the only place to go on the Strip except for the Four Seasons at 4x the price. The Cuban restaurant on-site is excellent, but not owned by the hotel, so you can't charge meals to your room, but take credit cards. There is an additional American menu for breakfast and kids' meals. The wedding chapel off the lobby is busy and a never-ending entertainment as you watch couples with families and friends bustle around on the big day.
