The HVAC system is very noisy! The room was big, clean and the staff very friendly. We ate at the Grand Bistro, the food was good but terribly expensive. The service at the restaurant was average, I would expect above average for a place that charges $70 for a steak.

The gal that checked me in was efficient but had less than a warming personality..She did advise if the $150 deposit which will make it back to my account in a week or so. I found my way through the maze to a wonderful room. Spacious very comfortable bed, Xtra blanket, good lighting lots hot water and a properly sloped tub for a relaxing bath. I went back down to the desk to ask if there was a restaurant I could have a beer and a quick snack. The reply was "I don't know". Ask the bartender if you can food and eat it there, and she went back to her phone. Rather than work the .aze to find an expensive beer and another maze to find a to go burger I opted for food I'd brought in my room. I am not a gambler so the maze of slot machines did nothing for.me. I needed an affordable room in this area. I managed not to get lost and would return to for the comfort of the room and to walk the narrow hillside streets. Raining this trip.

The room was spacious and well laid out. However, I was unaware of a $150 deposit at check-in after booking and paying for the room. Also, the room had not been vacuumed or dusted. The next morning we wanted to have their breakfast special but they didn't have any cooks so after letting managers know of the situation, the gave us $15 each to by deli sandwich that were overpriced $7 and already prepackaged. The location is a few blocks from Central City (going up hill) and only one tram was available on the half hour. This was not a reflection of the hotel but does impact your getting around. So I would not recommend staying here.
