An absolutely disgusting example of a allegedly nice vegas hotel. Why? 1) Security is horrible - two straight days we walked into our room while the maid was cleaning and she didn't ask us to verify our key 2) The rooms are dirty - mold growing near the showers...spotted carpets..,you name it. 3) The pool area is awful - stuff floating in the pool, filthy deck chairs, garbage laying in the common areas. 4) Rude staff - when you mention 1,2 or 3 they act like you are the problem 5) The buffet is terrible - cold and over priced food 6) The little things - like how about having elevators that all work...or buttons that exist...and/or don't get stuck The place needs so much work. Edit/addition: I've been staying at the Rio for 10 plus years...2-3 times per year. It will be my last time. Good luck!

It's easy to understand how this coffee roastery has stayed in business so long. It's all about quality. Quality coffee roast, quality service and quality food. The atmosphere is relaxing unless you find yourself being sized up by a neighborhood regular.

This is one of my favourite pubs in Edinburgh and I cannot believe i havent reviewed lock 25 before now. I think this bar has some of the friendliest staff in Edinburgh in both the kitchen and front of house. I havent had much off the menu only nibbles really, but my friends swear by the food. The fish and chips in particular is well recieves and the chef sources the fish from Eddies so you know it will be good. The reason I drink here is they really do keep a great selection of fancy booze and the propriator has been in the business a long time, so really knows his stuff. My friends are divided in what they drink you have the real ale guys, vodka tonics, ciders etc and there is never a second thought if someone suggests coming here for a couple. Layout wise it a largish modern bar with some traditional twists I guess. They also have an outdoor patio should you fancy sitting outside with a beer in hand away from lothian road. A few tvs here and there but not enough to be distracting. Thumbs up from me.

The rooms are a bit dated. The service at the Carnegie Deli in the lobby is atrocious. The amenities in the room service very basic and nothing to write home about. Beds are comfortable but they use an occupancy sensor on the air conditioning so you will come back to a warm room. The worst part for a traveller in this day is that the Internet service is unusably slow. Shame that they skimp on the easy things.
