Overall I had a great stay. I was in town for two nights, long enough to see Aerosmith and do a couple of other tourist things. The room had everything I needed: a comfortable bed, a mini-fridge/freezer with an ice cube tray, a fan, and a hair dryer. (Drinking cups were provided and appreciated.) Check-in was easy via a code that works for both the front and security doors. The big draw here is the proximity to the Strip. Walking to the MGM Grand probably takes 15 minutes. If you're a lone female, I do not recommend making the walk at night. I felt safe indoors and walking during the day, but I took an Uber after dark. A bus stop is around the corner, and you can catch a bus to and from the airport. I can't speak to interacting with Kary since I only saw her for about 15 seconds in the midst of coming and going. This is it if you're looking for privacy and a good value close to the Strip.
