The entire staff was wonderful. I felt like everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. From the point we drove in to the Valet, the doorman, check-in, restaurant staff, cashiers, dealers.. I mean everyone was super nice. That's not to say everything was perfect.. I have to knit-pick but even with those, it wasn't enough to take a star away. We will definitely be returning.

Been here in the tower last time and that seemed a bit better. This was the “original 47” section. Which by the way is up a hidden stairwell. No elevator. Though that and the hallways adds to the mystique. The rooms at smaller this was a queen on second floor above street. Generally clean though bed was t all tha comfy. Room is ok for singles would be a bit tight by today’s standards for more. Low price for weekends comparatively. But the do add on a 29 resort fee when you get there. Room is noise prone I’m guessing worse on weekend. Wasn’t the people on the streets as much as the blasting of horrible stuff poundinway into the night outside that kind of ruins the mystique completely. Also I hated the wrist band key for the room and getting in and out of the garage. Horrible concept having to announce everywhere you go where you are staying with a wristband. They will replace if you do take it off but you must go back to desk. Now the security lady at the gate for garage is super nice. She was here last time and informative and friendly. I dunno on price point good but would seriously also consider alternatives to staying here. Plus the casino always seems pretty tight.

This is our second stay at the El Crotiz. It was nice to see some of the familiar staff from when we stayed before. The room was clean and quiet. No issues outside of the hotel or anything. Literally down the street from Freemont Experience. The only thing I would change is the smell of smoke in the casino, but that’s just me due to asthma. Other than that, a great place to stay if you don’t want to be around the strip. Oh, no pool. It that’s ok.
