Nice and comfortable
Beds were comfortable and a nice place to stay. Rosie (front desk clerk) was very welcoming. She was able to extend our stay for one more night, which we did not plan. All was nice, just would like to see a little more effort put into the complimentary breakfast. Also, hotel was not far from the Golden Nugget casino. Other than that, I would stay at this place again!

Had to get my room changed because I was in a room right next to the elevator and the side entrance door which didn’t lock.
Elevator and door were extremely loud!

I had to get my room changed because I told front desk the air didn’t work . I booked a room with a microwave and didn’t get it til 3 days later . I stayed for a week and would never stay again. The bed isn’t even comfortable. Housekeeping was great when it came to cleaning our room !

False advertising
Everything was great except next to no breakfast. Don’t advertise full hot breakfast and at 7:30 am there is absolutely nothing to eat except for 3 bagels
