Cozy hotel on the strip. Good pricing, clean rooms.
Pros:

Proximity to the University hospital. The rooms were clean and very comfortable.
Secure parking in the parkade.

Cons:

The transition to get to and from the parkade was gross. Garbage between the buildings and stairwell, drug paraphernalia in the outside stairs. Quite sketchy.
