SERVICE & CHECKIN -- 👍 ok Decent checkin speed, bogged down with handwritten paperwork.
Parking available onsite & tap pay is accepted but they're not optimized for it.
No impression of the customer service/hospitality from the front desk, but the security guard & housekeepers I ran into were friendly.
$50/night deposit.
TRANSITIONS -- 👍 good Keycard required at every transition: entering building, operating elevator, etc.
An unassuming & simple lobby compared to the elevators & corridors, but it was well-maintained.
The layout & design of upper hallways was a bit of a maze; not the best use of color psychology & signage could be better.
High cleaning standards throughout.
ROOM (suite) -- 👍 good Modern 1-BR carpeted suite with ample lighting (overhead + natural).
Lots of seating options & storage, but tabletop space is very limited. Despite the size, Its not the most functional for a large party if doing more than sleep.
Based on the security posture, I'm surprised there wasn't a deadbolt on the door.
BED -- 👎 poor The mattress was significantly past its prime & not the most supportive, but it's adequate for passing out after walking the strip.
Average sheets & pillows.
BATH -- 👍 great Large, incredibly clean, & modern.
The design is more traditional/humble but robust in function, offering multiple vanities, strong water pressure, & hefty towels. I really enjoyed the shower experience.
The toiletries (Pure by gloss) are not a favorite yet they're good in a pinch.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 good Multiple ~40" flatscreen LG HD TVs.
Typical unmounted hotel TV with good accessibility for HDMI/streaming devices.
WI-FI -- 👍 ok
A lot of packet loss, but really strong throughput.
Vegas WiFi did not disappoint when it came to remote work.

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 good DoorDash contactless delivery is a no-go but there's a full kitchenette with all the things!
Multiple sets of dishes, utensils, & cups were stocked & ready for use.
I was impressed with the cleaning standards.
Convenience foods are also available for purchase in the lobby.
NOISE -- 👍 good
While the building isn't sound proof, the environment wasn't louder than other nearby properties.
Expect to endure the occasional "sounds of Vegas" ( sirens, horns, etc).
LOCATION -- 👍 good
VERY strong security presence, for better or for worse (flashing lights outside the bedroom window) & close enough to the strip if you don't mind walking.
DURING RACECAR SEASONS: I don't recommend ride share / car service from here; Usual shortcuts, backroads, parking lots routes, etc weren't available.
RATING
Final Price: $260.77/night
Was it worth it: yes
Best part: tub
The amenities & price point are very competitive.
F-1 construction has made this spot a little more inconvenient, but that applies to everywhere else on & off strip.
I would absolutely stay here again & highly recommend it to anyone considering an off-strip stay.
4/5⭐️
