Typically I would stay at City Center but was hearing good things about this place so decided to try it out. I always like newer hotels. Well, because they are just \"new\". For the price it's unbeatable. Room is nice. It's not small. I don't know why people post that these are small rooms. I'm in a premium. Paid 67 after resort fee. And stop complaining about the resort fees. ALL OF VEGAS CHARGES THIS!!!! It is true to its claim, smaller boutique hotel. You don't feel like your in vegas. Valet is great. Texting thing is awesome. Distance to room is simple and NOT FAR AWAY. I SWARE people who complain about the tower being far away. You're mental. Try navigating through Caesars, or MGM. It's as if you've never been to Vegas. This place is charming. The access to the street is awesome and the street is clean. Newer. I feel like I'm in downtown San Diego. Triple George Grill is just down the street. Not the typical $100 steak you see everywhere else in town. My filet was $26. I think that's fair. Half shower is not that bad. Come on!!! Water pressure is just ok. But seriously. You people complaining about the water going everywhere. You act as if this is your house as if YOURE going to clean it up. The water DOES NOT go everywhere unless you do jumping jacks in the shower. Give me a break. I sware I think people just want to hear themselves whine. And you DO NOT freeze because of the half wall. Yelpers can be so dramatic and kind of dumb. The only reason why I gave 4 is because of the music. You can hear it even at the top floor. This is a problem for this hotel. It's my belief that when I party I'm partying. But when I'm in my room, I want peace and quiet. Ask for the top floor. Away from street and it will be a good experience. And one last thing, I would never drink out of a coffee maker in a hotel room. Never. Not only does the coffee usually totally suck, imagine all the people using it. So once again, you posters complaining about that, carry your lazy butts downstairs and buy a cup of real coffee and suck it up because you are paying for it and remember you didn't spend the $200 per night rate at the Encore.
