Great hotel. Ideally located on the main strip. Very modern, clean and comfortable. Not to be ageist but this hotel caters for the younger travellers. Music played all day into the night. But we enjoyed it here. Breakfast buffet let’s it down could be more choice.

NOISY place to stay (which we should have known from the pictures…). The music was playing loudly from 12-12 with way too much base then is necessary. There were maybe 3 people in the pool even listening to it max. The hotel location is great, tons of fun spots around the hotel within walking distance. For the hotel stay itself we weren’t super impressed. The room was small (which is fine). It had a space for a mini fridge but it didn’t come with one. That night we asked if it was possible to get one, and they said they would bring it up the next day. It never came. We also asked for an extra pillow, and it never came. We asked again for another pillow the following day and they said it would be brought to the room when the room was cleaned. We put the room up for cleaning as we left for the day and when we came back no extra pillow and the room wasn’t cleaned. The cleaning staff had come in and just made our bed with the sheets that we originally had on it. Nor did they clean the empty pizza box that we had waiting on top of the garbage can. After that we gave up hope for an extra pillow. The one day we spent out by a pool we ordered a dark & stormy (off their bar menu), and the bartender made it with Campari??? Overall it’s a super noisy hotel that is geared towards a younger crowd. Even though there weren’t many people enjoying the amenities whenever we were around. We weren’t impressed.
