SERVICE & CHECKIN -- 👍 great
Very consistent & professional hospitality from every level of staff.
Shanice specifically was as efficient as she was helpful; great character, positive, & and really nice smile!
Early checkin is free but it wasn't as fruitful for myself & droves of other guests (rooms are large so the turnaround time makes sense). Late checkout (1hr) was also free.
The SMS Virtual Assistant (Ivy) service was responsive & convenient.
TRANSITIONS -- 👍 great
The lobby was clean & more functional than flashy. Limited standing space made it prone to congestion but the adjacent lounge had very chill vibes & adequate seating.
Elevator lifts were abundant, fast, & spacious.
Transitioning through the rest of the building felt pleasant & easy to navigate.
ROOM (signature suite) -- 👍 great Clean & modern 1BR unit reminiscent of an elevated, but slightly dated, timeshare.
Overall it was a well-appointed room & I enjoyed the design for its high-ceilings & good lighting.
Lots of other notable features: ample accessible outlets, full size mirrors, furnished patio space, & lots of storage.
Cons: The dedicated workspace isn't the most comfortable or ergonomic; lack of recycling receptacles.
BED -- 👎 poor Underwhelming setup.
The mattress, a throwback (Serta) innerspring King, was nostalgic but overdue for an upgrade.
Linens didn't live up to the "patented technology hype"; very inconsistent softness between pillow cases & bed sheets.
Pillow build was ok, good loft & firmness, but too small (Standard).
BATH -- 👍 great A large bath space with a rockstar tub, perfect for a couple's bath or deep soak in a bath bomb.
The walk-in shower isn't as glamorous & water pressure (throughout) wasn't consistent or strong.
But the rest of the installation was functional & clean. I liked the quality of their towels & there were plenty of Well Spa toiletries provided.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👎 poor Significantly dated: multiple standard definition ~20" TVs from LG & Sharp. The living room mount is very robust but the display just doesn't do it justice. The Bose sound system was the better entertainment piece & was fun to use.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 poor Verizon service performed well throughout the unit.
Complimentary (unencrypted) Wi-Fi is responsive but throughput is one of the worst I've experienced in Vegas. No premium offering is available, so bring a hotspot!

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 ok Not DoorDash friendly for contactless delivery.
Dining services are also closed on Tuesday & Wednesday.
Thankfully the kitchen was exceptionally clean, stocked with dishes, & fully operational. The fridge condenser was unusually loud but no issues with cooling or any other appliances (stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee pot).
Snacks & drinks are available for purchase in the lobby.
NOISE -- 👍 good
Not particularly sound proof when ambulances & sirens are in the area, but it's a quiet environment. No complaints.
RATING
Price: $262.25/night
Was it worth it: yes
Best part: view
Customer service & price make this location really competitive. It's not suitable for remote work or a staycation (depending on the day of the week), but it has plenty to offer. Most importantly: my stay was quiet & comfortable.
I would stay here again to explore the other configurations & recommend it to others looking for a nice off-strip property.
4/5⭐️
