We booked only a couple weeks in advance, so our options were limited, but between this and some tent/tipi options, this was an easy choice.
Although check-in was communicated to be at 3 pm when we were booking, it was NOT communicated to me until 1:30 pm on check-in day that we only had a window from 3 pm - 5 pm to check in and that any check-ins later than 5 pm required a 24 hr. notice. We had to cancel our plans on the strip to rush over and check in. We picked up the keys from the front desk at 4:50 (my name was spelled incorrectly on the check-in materials), and made our way to park and then up to the room.
Walking down the hallway to the room, the feeling that this was way more like a hotel than a private residence hit us. This was confirmed even further upon entering the space. Although pictures display the “apartment,” I feel they don’t fully do it justice to show how much like a hotel room it really is. I was really disappointed by this. I stay in AirBnBs because I hate the hotel experience and much prefer the comfort that comes with a private residence. No matter how the signs advertise it, this did not feel like a private residence or apartment. The signage (“Thank You For Not Smoking”), furniture, etc. felt like a hotel. The technology was old and outdated, and again, screamed mid 2000s hotel.
One of the biggest issues we had was that we felt like we just couldn’t get comfortable in the space for the fear of $20 fees for dirtying something or not putting away something in its correct place. We are clean guests, but we couldn’t get this out of our minds once we checked in. My partner washed her face for nearly 5 minutes due to the chance of maybe getting makeup on a towel and being charged for it. We knew about these fees when we booked, but on top of everything else, it really kept us from being able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
The pool was closed, but we weren’t aware of this until we checked in. We wanted to walk down to the lake, but there was a barrier on the road and a “no trespassing” sign. And as we went to throw away garbage as we checked out, we noticed one of the rooms on our floor had a “Warning: Keep Out” sign/seal on the door issued by the city/PD of Henderson.
For this price, I expected a better experience. For some, this might be great, but for us, we left disappointed and ready to leave.
