"Family friendly hotel with lots of kids friendly activities and amenities. Breakfast every morning was nice, and the staff was quick to replenish food and coffee as needed. Clean eating areas and plenty of food choices. The Chorizo and scrambled eggs Monday was my Favorite! My room was in overall good condition, the flooring was updated with vinyl and even though it was overlooking the pool area it wasn’t loud. There were some areas that could be listed, but even though it had an “older” feel/look, it was overall clean and staff was super friendly and helpful. Having use of the fire pit, bbq’s, activities (cornhole, extra large connect four, etc, and the pool was very much enjoyed by me and my family. Located just behind Heavenly Village, and across from Target was extremely convenient without all the noise. Less than 15 min walk to the closest beach, and 5 mins all to harrahs and the other casinos. Thank you for the great stay, we’ll definitely be back!"
