text: Okay so from what I am reading a lot of other people got sort of conned into this hotel and I am no exception We booked a trip through gatetravelcom and when you are booking they give you the options for hotels The default booking is for Circus Circus NOT Circus Circus Manor Motor Lodge It says three stars and even says this on gates travel site The rooms are fitted with contemporary decor and furnishings All rooms are equipped with amenities that will be sure to make your stay pleasant such as internet access surcharge a hair dryer and a television with cable channelsnWe looked up Circus Circus saw it was nothing special but alright and went for itand found out that in fact we were in the Manor Motor LodgenNow I KNOW that this is gates fault and I will be taking it up with them as well Also I want to point out that on my second night I complained and they put us in a suite for the night so this is nothing against the overall hotel but there are still a few things people need to know staying herenRooms They are DUMPS in the manor motor lodge I asked when we were checking in if those rooms had been redone at all and was told that all the rooms have been updated in SOME waywell I do not know what way this room had been updated The carpets were worn and stained The bedding was the polyester crap from the s The wallpaper was stained and peeling off the walls The bathroom floor had cracks in the tile and a permanent grunge that could never been cleaned It looked like a motel room you see in horror moviesnThe hallways were constantly loud and smelled of marijuana with cheap apple air freshener over top which was interesting because of the number of small children running around with distinctly trashy families I even made a joke with a cab driver in Las Vegas that we were NOT ugly enough to be staying in this hotel He agreed and said it was the butt of the joke of cabbies on the strip Good to knownnHotel The hotel amenities are geared towards children but are basically a money grab There is a small indoor amusement park that costs something like second ride There are shops and restaurants but non are high end We ate at three places while there and overall they were crappy I will give those individual ratings thoughnnService This was very good actually I had a very pleasant bell hop help us out and all the wait staff and cleaning staff were very nice and the woman whom I complained to was very receptive and polite so that earns them an extra starnnThe thing with the hotel is that even these rooms we were stuck in fall under stars even though they by themselves would barely qualify as star rooms because the whole hotel falls under one headingnnSO lesson to be learned these rooms are NOT nice rooms The hotel is considerably crappier than other hotels It is also quite far from the main strip BUT it is cheap If you are for whatever Godawful reason bringing children to Vegas I guess this would fit the bill Otherwise if you are just looking for a bed and a cheap one this also fits the bill The beds I will say had clean sheets and were comfortable But do not be fooled into thinking you are getting this amazing deal on a three star hotel You are not You are getting an average deal on star accommodations
