The view and location was absolutely amazing!!! My only complaint was that the people that stay on the motel in the shared parking lot, we constantly using the washer and dryer so they would sit right outside our room for hours!

I was very impressed by the spacious room we booked, which contained a king and queen beds, as well as a sofa bed. This worked very well for our family of 5. I especially appreciated the balcony and the fact that you could open the window, which is a rare find these days. The breakfast was a little disappointing in terms of quality but it was well stocked. My only other complaint was that the air conditioning was insanely cold in our room when we first arrived. Luckily we could open the doors and window, and turn on the heat to make it comfortable for the night.

Property is great to stay in, room looks over the water. The price is good value for what one gets. It’s an older somewhat dated conference facility, further out on the strip, so quiet. A bit of walking to get to the pool. Parking close to entrances.
