Great location. Thats the best part of the stay

The location was great. The sign said to leave the water run 3to 5 minutes so the hot water could make it to your room. There was so much humidity in the room the your clothes always felt damp.

It was clean and right on the strip. Beds were comfortable and water pressure in shower was strong. We could walk to everything on the strip. Staff was friendly. The only thing I didnt like was that, you could hear the next room's tv or snoring etc.

Alway good times at GOTL

Everything was great. Pool was nice and water was perfect temperature. I would just suggest more places to hang clothes. Hooks would be helpful. I would recommend for leisurely stay.
