text: Excalibur definitely has a great visual impact upon arrivalI mean what is more awesome than staying inside a hotel that looks like a castle But once you step inside your room you realize that it is not as cool anymore nnThe parking lot is huge but it is spread out around the hotel rather than being condensed into a parking structure So we ended up in a spot where we had to walk pretty far to get inside the hotel Not that I am lazy but we had a lot of stuff to carry nnCheck in was easy We dared my friend to try the Trick to see if we could get a room upgrade but it did not work probably because there were too many bookings for EDC weekend nnOur room could have used a facelift The furnishings were all pretty ugly and must have seen better days I have stayed at better equipped Holiday Inns Not that I could complain really because the price for the room was pretty good nnThis is a practical hotel that fit our needs of being on The Strip storing our things giving us a place to crash at night If you are expecting any more than that or if you will be spending a lot of time in the hotel you will be disappointed In that case I suggest you drop a bit more cash on a better hotel But for the frugal group who will be out most of the time Excalibur is a good fit
