Wasn't up to standards, changed our booking to different hotel after one night
Pros:

Since we were unhappy with the accommodation, the staff offered us a refund for the remaining nights. The staff said there was nothing they could do regarding the wifi not working in our room or the cleanliness, but the refund allowed us to book another hotel for our last four nights. The manager was very kind to us regarding our complaints and was happy to refund us the money.

Cons:

Room was unclean upon check in. Last guest's hair was on the shower wall and cock roaches were crawling into our bags.
The wifi wasn't working from the start and couldn't be fixed, however the staff tried to.
Room was generally dusty and unclean with very basic amenities (fridge only, no microwave to use in the hotel). Staff said there was no other options for us such as moving us rooms or having another clean, and told us cockroaches were to be expected in the environment (they weren't an issue at any other hotel).
Not everyone would be able to afford to book a new accommodation without first receiving the refund which as expected took a couple days to receive but luckily that was an option for us (and was well worth it)

Very memorable it will not be forgotten.
Pros:

Great proximity to the strip.

Cons:

I was robbed of my glasses, passport, wallet with cash and two credit cards and drivers licence id along with my new iPhone 17 pro max. That happened in my room the robber was a Good Samaritan who gave me a lift back to the Hotel and said he would also help me get into my room as I had said I could not see properly as it was dark and I need my glasses. At least I was not harmed.
