Nice and comfortable

Beds were comfortable and a nice place to stay. Rosie (front desk clerk) was very welcoming. She was able to extend our stay for one more night, which we did not plan. All was nice, just would like to see a little more effort put into the complimentary breakfast. Also, hotel was not far from the Golden Nugget casino. Other than that, I would stay at this place again!

Checking was good. We arrived a few minutes early and was able to get in our room. The commode handle was broken. Our door did not lock from the inside. The bab was pretty comfortable and everything was pretty clean. It was a musky smell. I guess it was due to the old carpet. Overall, it was okay, we just went there to sleep.

Receptionist that works nights threatens to fight you if you ask for any help. Didn’t want to let me speak to a manger for 3 days. Feces on toilet paper at check in. And overflowing toilets.
