I've been staying here every year for a few years. It's comfortable and incredibly convenient to walk to the strip and get around. This year however, my only concern is that the mattresses need replaced. Both my daughter and I could feel the springs our beds. It's never happened before. I hope they replace some of them soon.

The always on nightime security light on every porch and balcony makes it impossible to darken the room. You need to install room darkening curtains that go from ceiling to weel below the window to block all light including edge leakage
