Cute but nasty

The room was cute but things were very dirty. Please just remove the soiled couch. No one is going to sit or sleep on it. I wouldn’t put my luggage on it. The curtains were even worse !
Bottom of curtains are black with dirty or mildew
The couch is filthy

This hotel is horrible

When we arrived it took some time to get registered even though we pre registered. The place is dingy old and the outside was filthy. There was mold on the balcony’s the room was filthy the air conditioner did not work properly the shower had no pressure and the fireplace did not work. Got back to the hotel one night and got a contact high from all the pot smoking on the property. Dogs barked all night from various rooms. I would never ever stay here again. And the breakfast was a joke. It was a grab and go prepackaged breakfast. I got a white milk and it was spoiled. The clerk just played it off and got in the fridge and threw all the milk away. What a dump

I like that it is really close to the strip. The room was clean. This was our second time staying here. The room was extremely humid inside, made everything feel really damp so sleeping was not comfortable.That was the only bad thing. The AC leaked all over the floor so that might have created the humidity. But I did let management know so they could address it. Other than that it was a great stay again.

Only complaint I have is that the jacuzzi suite the glass panel is on the wrong end of the tub, so you have to get into the tub, to turn on the water. And the hot and cold water were backwards. Overall the bed was great, clean room, good location.

My stay at the Rivers Edge Inn.

It is a nice hotel. My only complaint whould be that the outside door was very hard to close. You had to slam it to get it to shut. The door to the balcony was extremely hard to open. Other than that it was fine.

Absolutely ridiculous based on the pictures they show it looks so amazing they only give you one option of rooms to stay in so you think you’re getting this luxury get away and when we arrived it was completely opposite so bad that I took a video as proof and asked the front desk and they told me that everyone says that and there’s nothing they can do because they already took the money did not offer any forms of refunds and told me to talk to Expedia about it being half way across the US I felt I had no choice but to just stick it out instead of losing almost 600 dollars for this fake hotel complete disappointment and made me extremely upset and there lack of help and knowing that that’s the skeem they run is so disheartening if you’re going to book here just know you’re getting a old dirty room nothing nice the whole place smells like mold highly do not recommend
