    This is a motel NOT a hotel room.

    SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 Friendly & easy-going employees. None of the junk early-checkin/resort fees either!
    A huge property with high cleaning standards, they don't slack on exterior around here. Even the neighboring businesses have lawns maintained to perfection.
    The catwalks are frustrating: impracticality narrow & uneven. Storing trash receptacles under the stairways was unsightly 👃 .
    Coin-operated laundry machines are available: $2 wash $1 dry.

    ROOM -- 👎 czcams.com/video/QLFkiGdEkmQ/video.html
    A big bait-and-switch-misrepresented disappointment feeling upon walking into this one.
    ⚠The paint may be fresher than its competitor across the street, they're both motels.⚠
    The dimensions for a double aren't functional for 2. It was a tight fit solo & flooring was heavily warped. Visually it looked clean at least.
    The dedicated workspace had commendable ergonomics, but outlets were few & far. Bring an extension cord if traveling with another/multiple gadgets.
    AC is so loud & requires running constantly in these 100+ temps.
    BED -- 👍 Decent sleep.
    Comforter/blanket textures were unpleasant to the touch. I still enjoyed the mattress, which provided the exact firmness I needed.
    Linens felt soft, clean.
    Pillow arrangement was satisfactory too: quantity was just right + the build was sufficiently dense.
    BATH -- 👎 The shower tiles are too beautiful for words! A GREAT distraction from the ceiling condition, cobwebs, & mineral buildup on the shower head.
    It's a small space that felt cramped doing more than 1 thing at a time in here.
    Lacoupe bath products appear to be stocked but were empty during my stay.
    Towels were in fair condition & large enough to wrap around.
    TV/ACTIVITIES -- 👍 Tightly mounted 42" Samsung TV.
    The remote is frustrating to use; channels are slow to change. Press too many buttons & it crashes altogether.
    It's impossible to reach the back ports for streaming/gaming.
    Their pool/spa was closed, a bummer on these 107 degree days.
    WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 Painful wireless infrastructure. Not the usual quality from a Best Western.
    Hotspot is a necessity.

    FOOD & DRINK -- 👎 DoorDash friendly. Breakfast variety was good: Waffles, proteins, pastries, cereals , & juice. The potatoes were undercooked & the meat was too greasy. Flavors were equally bland & unimpressive.
    Snacks & drinks are available for purchase from the lobby.
    Albertsons & some impressive coffee shops are within walking distance.
    in-room:
    ✅ microwave (mini)
    ✅ mini-fridge (medium)
    ❌ coffee
    ❌ tea
    ❌ wet-bar
    ❌ mini-bar
    NOISE -- 👍 Thin walls but it worked out to be a quiet stay.
    LOCATION -- 👍 Beautiful surroundings; it's a delightful city to stroll through.
    Nice variety of shops & restaurants in proximity.
    10m from Hoover Dam (The thing you care about most).
    RECOMMENDATION & RATING
    Price: $112.99/night
    Was it worth it: no
    Best part: location
    Misrepresented as a hotel; the vibe, rooms, & architecture is a motel, regardless of how polished or quirky the property may appear.
    As a motel, it's overpriced but the location is a win.
    I don't see myself returning.
    Lukewarm recommendation.
    3/5 ⭐
