The room itself was amazing! Bed were soft. Pillows were too. The location was ok if you just want to stay in the room and relax. Walking was kind of hard because of the hill back up to the hotel. Overall it was a pleasant weekend getaway!!

Hotel was super clean and beds were extremely comfortable. A short walk to the strip but the balcony provides a quiet, serene feel and every room faces the creek. I'd definitely stay again.
