Our room was free through gambling “Comps”, which, for those that do not know, are various items that you can get for free by gambling at that casino. Although the room was free, I do have some minor issues surrounding the hotel that annoyed me.
Most of the hotel staff seemed friendly and willing to help, however there was several instances at one of the hotel restaurants where the wait staff were publicly arguing over issues that should have been done in private.
Concerning the room itself, there isn’t much to say except that it was very nice and enjoyable. We stayed on the 24th floor of the hotel, and the room was spacious and comfortable. We chose a room with a king size bed, and we felt the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was nice and felt clean.
Our view of the city wasn’t good, but I can sort expect that with a free room. If I had paid for the room out of pocket, I would have been a little ticked off.
There was no small refrigerator or microwave and this really surprised me. These are items that have become to be expected within a room at most hotels. How else are you going to bring back and keep drinks and food to keep them cool?
You had to pay $3.00 a day for a usage fee for the safe in your room, which I felt was uncalled for within a hotel that caters to people with money and/or valuables.
They have glassware in the rooms instead of disposable ones. The reason that I have an issue with this is because most hotel glassware will never ever leave your room to make it to a downstairs dishwasher. A maid will typically wash these in your bathroom sink. If you have ever seen any news reports about how they are washed, you would not fully trust any room glassware at any hotel/motel.
The last item concerns transportation. At some hotels that I’ve stayed at, they offer free shuttle service back and forth from the airport, and I sort of expected to see this service being offered to guest within a tourist town. If the shuttle service was free, I don’t how it is done unless I missed something somewhere. Three of us took a $16.00 cab ride from the airport to the hotel, since we had heard the shuttle would cost about $20.00 per person, If this is true, then we saved over $40 dollars one way.
I would give the room about 4 stars out of 5, but because of the little issues that I mentioned, I would drop my rating down to 3 stars. Would I stay there again? I would say yes, but I would try to argue the safe fee issue, and I would ask for a room with at least a refrigerator if they are offered.
