Pros +

  • Stayed there off and on over the years. We like it there
  • Clean and nice view of the stream. Fireplace in the room was a nice touch. Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to the strip.
  • The location and hospitality of staff members.

Cons -

  • Did not like being asked to pay for the room again after I clearly had paid in full. Receptionist says this happens from time to time but first time for me. I had proof I was paid in full.
  • Breakfast was minimal cereal and bagels. Overall good for the kids.
  • Cleaning should be better. There were goldfish crackers next to the bed when we checked in. I don’t know how you could miss them.
