Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Simple and convenient room at a fair price! Loved that it was on the river and at the beginning of the strip, right by Ober mountain. Our stay was during what they call “ Hell week”, so having a room pretty much right on the strip made it easy to be able to take a quick break from the crowds. Everything was truly within walking distance, so there was no paying for parking us!

Needs some improvements and renovations
The room does not look the same as advertised on the website. They need to renovate the rooms. They had a safe with no key bolted to the floor, outdated air conditioners that were very difficult to control to correct settings, and not very safe for children. Our daughter fell into the tub because it is not tall enough. The location is good for the price but it deff needs some remodeling.

Don't believe negative reviews. Updated rooms!!!
This is the first time I have stayed here although I have seen it numerous time on my trips to G'burg. The room was clean, the beds fairly comfortable and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We had reserved a 1 queen bed room with a fireplace through hotels.com, but we decided we wanted to go a day early. There were no rooms through hotels.com, so I called the hotel and they had a room. I asked if we could just get the room we were going to be in and not have to move and the young man (Dev) said "yes". We got there tuesday night and when I checked in I made sure we could stay in the same room. Well, evidently there was a change and I was told we would have to leave the room the next morning. When I told them what Dev told me, the young man at the desk immediately made the change and we were able to stay in the room. Because of the trouble, we got the 2 queen bed with a balcony. I couldn't ask for a nicer group of people at this hotel. The ONLY negative is the water pressure in the shower. It is not good. I don't understand any hotel these days that doesn't have good water pressure, but we survived. (LOL) The light in the bathroom isn't bright, but that didn't bother me. The water was good and hot to take a shower and they have fans in the bathroom, which are unheard of these days. They even have a heater for the bathroom. Really cool. All in all...great stay. It's also close to Crockett's breakfast restaurant...where we eat every time. We also saw a bear our last morning.
