Q: Came here with a large group one night when a military friend was back in town. We came VIP. Service was horrible. We ordered rinks and 4 bottles and we had to go to the bar and ask for them. We went walking around only to not be let in another VIP spot because the idiot who let us in forget to give us bracelet things.

I am pretty sure the guys with me were the only straight ones in the bar that night. I saw WAY too many dudes kissing each other.

We complained about our horrible treatment and we got offered a VIP pass for next time. What a JOKE! I will never come back here an hope no one else would ever go there either!

Q: I got the 10x10 unit as a special on Memorial Day and moved my stuff here as part of my relocation from CA. The on site manager, Marie, is very good. She's professional and helpful. I absolutely concur with the last reviewers - Isabel M & Jaime S. Buying a lock & insurance is mandatory which inflates the price. Office hours is the only time for bathroom/cart use. No trash bin on site. Lastly, the smell (like dog poop) always seem to hang around. I go in my unit and come out smelling bad. Don't know if some dead animal got stuck somewhere in the units. Also, just in...there's a surcharge on credit card use to pay. Gotta use debit/checking to avoid cost. However, the price I got is very low with the special so I guess I will stick around until I can move out my stuff to my new house. Can't wait.....

Q: Excalibur definitely has a great visual impact upon arrival...I mean, what's more awesome than staying inside a hotel that looks like a castle? But once you step inside your room, you realize that it's not as cool anymore.

The 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'm lazy, but we had a lot of stuff to carry!

Check in was easy. We dared my friend to try the "$20 Trick" to see if we could get a room upgrade, but it didn't work-- probably because there were too many bookings for EDC weekend.

Our room could have used a facelift. The furnishings were all pretty ugly and must have seen better days. I've stayed at better equipped Holiday Inns. Not that I could complain, really, because the price for the room was pretty good!

This is a practical hotel that fit our needs of 1) being on The Strip 2) storing our things 3) giving us a place to crash at night. If you are expecting any more than that, or if you'll be spending a lot of time in the hotel, you'll 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!
