Stayed here for 2 nights in August. Road-tripped to Vegas to see Dropkick Murphys play at The Joint at HRH. Wanted to stay at HRH, was WAY too expensive, and began to google nearby hotels so I could walk (stumble, whatever) back to my hotel room and not have to pay for a taxi or the monorail. I found this little hotel, recently re-modeled, with cheap rooms through Expedia or Travelocity. The ratings varied from fair to good, so I figured "why not?" since I'm tired of Travelodge and it was, literally, across the street from HRH. Let's break it down...
Plus...
+Good service
+Offered food and cheap bucket-beer and pizza combos. Never ordered anything, but reviews said it was worth the buy
+Mini "Rehab" pool party during the afternoon at big pool. Live DJ, bar, etc. Bouncers very friendly to hotel guests. Again, didn't go (I don't like drinking when there's kids around), but seemed nifty.
+Several pools on property
+BIG room, basic cable, 2 A/C units that worked wonderful, living room, minifridge, microwave--all included with any room booked
+Bed was actually fairly comfy
+Short 5 minute walk to the best little liquor store on Harmon Blvd
+(For my purposes) HRH adjascent
+Walking distance to several fast-food joints
Minus...
-Auxillary pools could have been cleaner. Leaf debris, ew.
-Auxillary pools music could have been playing a little louder
-Pool chairs were seriously old. Fix it
-Close to airport. You can hear the planes...I managed to tune it out, so not that bad, really.
-Recent remodeled rooms still needed some touch-ups
-Parking was a little crappy at times
-East Vegas, 5-min car ride from strip; definitely not walking distance
-Far from Vegas nightlife (unless you wanted to be ripped off by HRH clubs)
We had a pretty great stay. I'm a really picky traveller, and this trip meant a lot to me. I'd totally go back here. Their minifridge kicked the ass off the one I had at the LHC Travelodge for Tube Float. On a parting note, there was a flash flood and a huge electrical storm on the last night of our stay. We took our kitchen chairs and alcohol outside and watched from the stairwell as lightning struck the strip. Instead of disciplining us, they said: "Rock on!" and allowed us to enjoy the humid night.
Oh, and if you're silly...they have huge frogs on the property. Fun to chase. read more
