We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again! It’s conveniently located (directly across from the Island) which makes it easy to walk or drive to many places along the strip. The drink and breakfast options were great. We loved the retro style as well. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommend staying here!
