They are pry friendly which is great. It's a renovated hotel so it does have some wear but our room was clean and had modern decor. The property had one elevator. The elevator was dirty and far away from out room. We opted to take the stairs. The garbage pick up in the morning was pretty loud as well. We went during the winter season so swimming in their outdoor pool was not an option, definitely wish they had and indoor pool. The location is great. Right on the strip near everything!

This property was nice, seems to be one of few hotels in the area that has been updated. Staff were nice, and the location was very convenient. Right across the street from the island.

Loved the property from its fun theme, trendy (&clean) rooms, and bar. Employees we encountered were friendly and helpful & the welcome drink was a great surprise during our check-in. The area has no shortage of entertainment and dining options. &While I’m not a big fan of the overly touristy area (came for hiking in the Smokys), I truly loved this hotel and would happily stay again.
