Absolutely fantastic hotel location is absolutely perfect in middle of eveything. Rooms was beautiful and clean breakfasts was more continental but beautiful and filled you for the day. All staff members so friendly and helpful. Pool freezing cold but again nice to cool of in for a few seconds. Over all fantastic location, food, staff and for it being right on the strip always felt secure with the key cards to use lifts and enter door. Cant not wait to return x

Hotel itself, staff, food and drink were absolutely amazing. However very noisy at night until 4/5am.. when i booked i never read reviews for noise and myself and partner went for a quiet few days but also close enough to the strip that we didn’t have to get taxis etc. still amazing and if i want a good hotel for a partying i will stay there.

Definitely will not be returning! There was a huge roach in my room! The bathroom shower was horribly built! Water all over once you take a shower! They only give 1 bathroom floor mat and it'll be soaking wet until they change the next day! Service was terrible, needed a fork and was told I had to take 2 elevators to ask the restaurant to borrow one!

Lovely Room but if you’re unfortunate enough to be on the bar side of the street it’s truly too loud to sleep. Music from the bars went until 4:00 am. Unless you have a guaranteed room on the d castle side I would not recommend this location

The hotel was ok. I went on my honeymoon here and unfortunately back to back days found large roaches in our room. To say the least, we didn’t fully enjoy the stay. Thankfully we stayed elsewhere for the majority of our honeymoon. We stayed at other hotels in the area and they didn’t seem to have this problem. Other than that the staff was so friendly and location was great. Definitely get a room facing the pool to avoid the noise. Best part was the pool and pool service. Overall it was okay.
