The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The most important thing is the extremely comfortable bed and bedding - really the best, even compared to my stay at the Bellagio.

We were not aware of the $25/night parking charge. Our suite was nice, retro. The bed was very nice, linens were A+ and everything was spotless. It wasn’t luxurious but comfy and cozy. I thought $260/night with taxes was a bit steep + $25 for parking and no food or drink service on Mondays and Tuesdays which was a bummer because we were there Tuesday. Staff was friendly. Very close to the Kimo Theater which was good for us.
