I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is in a fantastic location just two minutes away from the Golden Nugget casino. The rooms were clean and modern, but I faced some issues with the breakfast and a few maintenance problems during my stay. Overall, it felt homey, and I appreciated the friendly staff who were very accommodating despite being a new establishment.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, being super close to the casinos and easy to navigate around. However, the rooms had a couple of issues, particularly with noise from the doors. The service was commendable, especially considering the hotel is newly opened, but the dining options were lacking and could be improved. Overall, it has great potential but needs some tweaks for a better stay.

The rooms were amazing with super comfortable beds, but I did have an issue with the outside door slamming late at night which was a bit disruptive. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure my needs were met. However, the breakfast offered was quite limited and didn't start early enough for my schedule, that was disappointing.

The staff, while friendly and helpful, were a bit short-handed during my visit, especially since it was Labor Day weekend. The location was absolutely perfect for my needs, being just a short drive from the casinos, which I loved. Overall, it was a decent experience, but some improvements could certainly elevate it.
