I just returned form a two night stay (Oct -8)

  • I arrived early (10am)
  • Regular (non HH) checkin was a zoo
  • 3 check-in agents at the HH section of checkin and all were occupied
  • I waited for less than 5 minutes
  • I had requested a king smoking room in the Paradise tower but where the smoking rooms in the Paradise Tower are all on floor 2 and the smoking rooms in the Club Tower are on floor 18 and I prefer a high floor, I chose the club tower.
  • No upgrades were available-even for diamonds as every hotel was full because of "some big fight" that weekend"
  • Cookies were given out at checkin
  • It took me about 6 minutes to walk to/from the casino and the front door
  • The room was nice, clean and well lit with shower with an oversized tub (and I lucked out with a spectacular view of the airport* )
  • The windows had plantation style shutters which completely blocked out the light and could be slid open about 6 inches if you wanted to get some fresh air
  • $13.00 per day food credit given effective the day after checkin (and the agent I had said that they base it on double occupancy but where I was traveling solo, he bumped it up to $26.00 for me
  • I asked for a late checkout and the best they could do was only one hour from 11am to 12 noon as anything after that would be charged at a half day stay
  • Checkout was less than 5 minutes as there was no line tho regular (non HH) checkout was a zoo
  • No resort fee charged as I was on a 100% points stay

*sorry about the quality but the photos were taken thru the window glass but if you look carefully, you can a few "Janets"
