This is obviously not a four-star hotel, but for the price you're paying compared to other places that are a comparable distance from the strip, this place is a steal. I've only stayed here once with a very large group of people from school. We packed a ton of people into a single room, close to 20 or so. The rooms are big, and the place is also relatively clean...at least clean enough for us not to be grossed out by sleeping on the floor. The place is nothing fancy, but you're going to be spending most of your time on the Strip anyway so it doesn't really matter. The pool isn't very big but it was still nice and clean. We used it for an hour or so on the second day we were there, and it was nice because it more relaxing than the other pools at other hotels since there were less people. You can park right up front, too, so you won't have to wind through a maze of parking structures or wait for a valet to get your car when you need it. The only real downside to this place is that it is a couple of blocks away from the strip, and you have to walk past the intersection/gas station where Tupac was shot to get to the Strip. That makes it sound really bad, but I guess it's not as bad as it sounds. Just be smart and be safe, and you'll be fine. Maybe just take a cab back to the hotel at the end of the night if you're worried about your safety.

What a disappointment! My first day in Charlotte and I had checked Yelp reviews to plan my meals. The only good thing I can say is service was friendly and the cornbread was good. However, that wasn't enough to even warrant a second star because the rest of my food was so unpleasant. I started with the soul rolls, but thought the mixture of flavors and textures did not harmonize well. It seemed to be a fried app just for the sake of being fried. But without the pleasing crunch I expected. But the real let down was my shrimp and grits. What they served me was a bowl of lumpy grits (one particular lump was too big for my spoon to handle) swimming in a truly awful brown mess. The color made me think the sauce might be rich, but it was the opposite. I could probably recreate the flavor with water, thickener and food color - that is just how tasteless it was. The shrimp had a strange texture that made me think it came from a can. Then someone had chopped raw green onion and stirred it in. That was it. No seasoning. No flavor.

This is a must stop for me and my wife. We don't even have to look at the menu dozen oysters and two fish tacos excellent. Sometimes they do have small oysters but we said something to them and they threw in a couple more. Go to the bar next door and pick up a couple bud light red beers in a 24 oz can prior to going.

I must have gone on a bad day ..... Shortly after walking in, we were seated but no one came to take our drink order for at least 10 minutes and then it was only because we said something to a waiter walking by. The Dim Sum selection was very small and the quality just wasn't that good. Who charges for refills on a fountain drink anymore? They did have a shrimp/crab egg roll that was real good! I think you will find me at C-Fu Gourmet from now on.
