Great Experience
Monday, May 29, 2006
Amerisuites was just what we were looking for .. We booked VERY last minute - literally the night before our stay - and had no problems. Their customer service is just a bit lacking but overall pretty good considering I saw the same poor guy there for what looked to be a 10-12 hour shift. He was a bit rude towards the end of the night - but honestly I would have been too.
We were able to get a last-minute Friday / Saturday night SUITE stay for only $170 a night - which was the cheapest we could find that wasn't sold out.. All the other hotels watned $300 - $400 a NIGHT .. so we almost had to cancel our trip until we found Amerisuites.. It's nothing special but for us it worked.
We had the suite which had free internet, little fridge and table, desk area, plus a couch, plus 2 beds for us 2 couples.. It was pretty big and we didn't feel too crowded.. Everything was clean, quiet, and comfortable.. I had trouble sleeping but that was just me in hotels I never sleep good. Everyone else had no trouble and the beds were comfy. We had an OK view of the Stratosphere and that lower part of the Strip.. SOME rooms have a better view -but don't expect one.. It's about 3 blocks away.. You COULD walk in a pinch if you don't mind walking..
Breakfast "buffet" was about as expected for these chains.. One thing I liked was that it had waffle batter and a waffle maker - which I haven't seen before. There was room service but we didn't try it.
Internet was a bit slow but overall worked as promised
There is a pool but seemed a little dirty and small. Still, I bet its crowded in the summer
