Location was good proximity to walkable restaurants/sights, very loud, lobby is TINY, room had a few dust bunnies. A
Pros:

Very close to tourist strip-

Cons:

VERY loud-storefront beneath us had music blasting. Also advertised as an elevated building but when we got to our floor, we had to carry our 7 pieces of large luggage (including golf bag) up a flight of stairs.

Fairly good hotel in a spot near the Golden Mile
Pros:

Excellent location.

Cons:

Small hotel with maze-like room location and stairs to the room. Fairly kind front desk staff who appeared to know very little about the place because she was “new”, but helped lift luggage up to the 3rd floor.
