text: In life you get what you pay for and Ballys is a true example of thisnnWe did get the room for a night excluding tax but no resort fees The first night we checked in because we did not make it by PM they gave us a room with two queens instead of a king as we requested Instead of honoring it they kept trying to upcharge us to move to the north tower for a night but why would we pay an extra when we only paid in the first placennThe front desk was extremely slow for check in and check out They were not very friendly and not accommodating at all I guess part of the cheap rates is the service too The rooms are outdated and it shows The first one we checked into smelled like smoke on a nonsmoking floor Fortunately the second night we did get a king room no apologies from the front desk which did smell better nnIts the little things like the ventilation system and amenities that suck Sure the location may be good but realize that even if something looks close in proximity it is still far to walk nnI realize I might b a bit of a hotel snob but Ballys did not cut it for me I would never stay here again and you should not either
