Nice, a little noisy and limited expensive parking
Somewhat noisy from street noise and parking is an issue. Other than that, nice place.

Sleepless
So pulling in there is no check in area. You have to Parkin middle of road to go in and get a valet to park you which obviously doesn’t work well. There were about eight cars parked in the middle of the road. We parked in an over park and then walked 2 blocks to check in. The club music will keep you up till 2 am after that the college kids howling and and racing there cars away will keep you up till 3. Breakfast was better then most free buffets

Recommended hotel.
Nice hotel. The staff is very friendly. The location is convenient. Breakfast is good. Parking is not that great, you need to go to a parking garage which is very near by, or you can use their valet for a $30 fee a night. I have stayed at the same hotel multiple times since it is very convenient for my needs, and I like the strip where it is located and it is nice.
