Residence Inn Las Vegas – Convention Center

The hotel is designed like a bunch of condos or townhomes. I stayed in the 2 bedroom bi level suite and the inside looked like a condo. There was a fireplace, a kitchen, a dining table, a master bedroom on the 1^st floor, a loft bedroom on the 2^nd floor that you can see the 1^st floor from, 2 bathrooms one on the 1^st floor and the other on the 2^nd floor, and a living room with a tv that’s in between the kitchen and the master bedroom. All of the furniture moves (except the picture frames) if you’re thinking of redecorating the room for your stay. Bathrooms were smallish.
The free continental breakfast was my favorite part. They had a variety of breakfast foods to choose from. One day they had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, bagels, breads, oatmeal, cereal, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit. The second day was basically the same thing except they subbed the pancakes for french toast and the bacon for ham. As a breakfast person, it was like breakfast heaven. The orange juice was really good. I thought it would have been low quality orange juice but that orange juice was cold and tasted fresh. The oatmeal was fluffy diner oatmeal that I love and can’t ever seem to recreate at home. Their continental breakfast helped me get over the hangovers so I could start drinking again. It’s from 7−9am in the morning so set your alarm and force yourself to get up. The breakfast is worth it. I’d give 4 or 5 stars on that breakfast alone.
But really, if you plan on going to the strip and coming back to your strip and going back and forth between the strip and your room, then you probably shouldn’t stay here because it’s far enough from the strip that a 1 way cab ride from the strip to the room is about $ 20, which adds up.

Disclaimer: I booked this place for the night before the Rock and roll half marathon using my Marriott points.
If you’re looking for a place to stay for a night that is close, as in across the street from the convention center and to a monorail stop that is off strip, go ahead and book this place.
They offer a complimentary breakfast and no resort fees because it by no means has any of those resort features for sure! The breakfast was okay but I grabbed a couple of extra bananas for my race which were a life saver!
The rooms are dated and I was given a room towards the back of the complex… no where near the hustle and bustle of people, so as a single traveler off strip in Vegas I was concerned about safety especially since I couldn’t see anything outside of my door’s peep hole and the secondary lock didn’t work on my door. Oh and there was a sign that reminded your to lock your doors and windows… Hrmsss
All in all if I was to stay longer than a night and had to pay for this place I’d hesitate to book.

Was in town with a group of 6 for a long weekend. This place did the trick for us, but not without some minor inconveniences.
Pros:
Plenty of room for 6 people + luggage
Amazing having a kitchen!!! (bare bones stocked but it was nice being able to keep and reheat leftovers and cook on the stove if we wanted to)
Not too far from the strip, about $ 10 – 20 über depending on time and X or XL, about 15 min drive
About 20 min from airport, were able to take the local bus to get there from the airport
Marriotts have the best pillows lol
Gate access to the property and free parking
Free wifi and free continental breakfast (didn’t try but having the option was nice)
Great value for the price
Cons:
Only one technical bedroom. The doors are like closet doors and so sound travels through — also a murphy bed. The loft upstairs is nice but whyyyyyy is it a loft??? Close up those walls so that we don’t have to wake up every time someone gets up or coughs! Pullout couch was convenient except the mattress was quite frankly the worst I have ever slept on. It was like sleeping on springs with a sheet over top. This is a quick and cheap fix, please please please update your mattresses in these couch beds! My back is still hurting from just one night on it.
*If it weren’t for the above I would have rated this 4 star. If you only have 4 people this would be a good option, but with 6 it was just inconveniently noisy.
Perhaps normal:
No bar. :(
I’d stay here again but only if it were for 4 people or less, or if they follow through on my suggestions above :)

Great stay! Close to strip, smoke free rooms, comfortable and clean. If your ok with walking 1 – 2 long blocks, your near lots of fun and good food. Chipotle and Panera next to hotel. Two liquor stores within 5 minute walk for soda and spirits. I enjoyed the pool, didn’t like the only smoking areas are at and next to pool area. Rather smokey at times.
My room had great night view and the staff was great. Breakfast was a decent buffet, very busy on weekend, but nice not to have to go out.
Wish they had a day spa, but went to Well Spa at the Platinum, half a mile away. Had a great massage and pedi, highly recommend.
Good times, will stay here again.

This is a very decent/​standard hotel.
+ves:
1. NO RESORT FEE unlike other hotels.
2. Quite competitive rates
3. Bfast, Internet incl.
4. Friendly staff
5. Very close to public transportation
6. Plenty of space for suitcase/​baggage
7. Plenty of parking and limited access parking
–ves:
1. Most happening place in the strip is a little far away
2. My internet did not work for 1 day. Hence the 3 stars, else it would have been 4*.
3. Just 2 floors only. No high rise building to give you a view.
Good luck!

This place is pretty crappy. Like others have said, it is essentially a complex of apartment like rooms. The only problem is that the buildings are all run down. The rooms have been «spruced up» with some contemporary carpet but the bones of the room and building are bad. The stairs leading to my room are rattly and warped. The seal around the door is falling off. The room has a weird moldy scent. Basically, it is just like a run down apartment complex.
I actually have stayed at other residence inn properties and there is no comparison. They should knock these down and start over. As someone else mentioned the rooms are wood framed – don’t be the guy downstairs!
The pro is that since it is a residence inn they have some free food and drinks and the lobby is nice. The guy running the food and drinks is friendly and very accommodating.

Ah, the Residence Inn. Where to begin? We drove out to Las Vegas and stayed Friday and Saturday night at the inn. It clean, comfortable, and close enough to the strip for those who don’t mind walking a little bit. It wasn’t the worst area, but it wasn’t the safest for walking around. I would definitely not walk by myself at night to or from the strip to the inn. We would have preferred to stay at a casino on the strip but I had to bring my dog with me and the pet deposit was a $ 100 flat fee (non-​refundable), and was cheaper than many of the other nearby places for the value.
While like any time in Las Vegas, I do not care for the nicest room because I am usually out trying to enjoy my vacation instead of camping in a room, this place was very nice. For 2 of us and my little dog it was very roomy. There was a full kitchen with dishware, silverware, pots & pans, an refrigerator, oven, microwave, etc. I saw that you are even able to have groceries delivered to your room which. There was also a hair dryer in the closet by the bathroom. The bed was comfy, it was quiet, and my dog was comfortable.
Checkout is at Noon, which was nice so we were able to rest before our long trek home. Free breakfast was offered which we took advantage of on Sunday. Breakfast included a buffet of sorts; eggs, sausage gravy, biscuits, oatmeal, cereal, French toast, pineapple slices, bagels, English muffins, chocolate muffins, orange juice, and coffee. It was very tasty, the staff was very nice, and I will stay here again in the future.

This was a great property! Customer service was phenomenal and room layout was convenient as well. Ramiro checked us in promptly and had a room even though we were early! He was very friendly and when we called for some extra shampoo in the room it was promptly delivered. This is definitely a great place to stay if you dont want to be right on the strip with the people but still enjoy the sights.
Did not get to experience bfast and wifi was a bit of a hassle during the trip though. other than that it was great!

We just checked out from a 3-​night stay and have stayed here for a long weekend for the last three years. The staff is always helpful and this time went the extra mile when I booked the wrong room type. I didn’t realize a two-​bedroom loft was different from a 2-​bedroom suite. They were the same price but the loft had a Murphy bed. They couldn’t move us the first night but did put us in a new room the second two nights.
Our son’s stuffed teddy bear went missing after we switched rooms and we reported it to the front desk the next morning. By the time we returned in the afternoon, the bear was back with a sweet note from Lillian, the operations manager, who described how teddy was helping out the housekeeper, had a bath and a snack with water (jelly beans and a bottle of water accompanied him in a cellophane wrapped package).
That made my son’s day as we had just gotten the bear from our trip to Victoria BC in July and he was sad to have lost it. It was left in his bedsheets and got washed with them.
The parking gate cards (or reader) are spotty, so just ask for extra keys and they work after a few tries. The property could use some sprucing up and they do run short on pool towels so check when you get to the pool and ask for some and they will refill them to while you are swimming.

Located conveniently across from the convention center and minutes from the strip. The layout of this facility is very nice, The rooms are perfect for no more than 3 guests and the maid service was prompt and friendly however… the young lady «Amber» working the reception desk was majorly lacking customer service skills. The front desk is the first impression made on a guest and she definitely left a bad one on our group.
We were greeted by Amber and gave her our name for our reservation of 2 rooms She told us we did not have a room there. While trying to contact our group whose flight had not yet landed to get the reservation confirmation, Amber did not offer to sell us an available room, or to check her system under a different name, she did not intend to go the extra step to help us and by her body language I would assume she could have cared less. Amber rudely answered the phone several times during our check in completely ignoring us, it was like she was irritated to be helping us!
Once we figured out the room situation and how to get to our room (building 9 which was located in the very back of the grounds) we acclimated ourselves to the area and relaxed at the pool which was clean and relaxing I did not really like the pools location or the fact that the towel bins were empty on two occasions of our pool days.
Day 2: a few of us attended the free continental breakfast, although it was almost over, the staff was literally pulling the chaffing dishes out from under our hands as we tried to make a plate! I could not believe it especially when I saw them in the back making plates for themselves.
Day 4: we requested a later check out time due to a convention we were attending. Once back at the rooms we were rushing to get our belongings and get to the airport, we were not informed that our room keys would deactivate at 12 noon and that we would need to come by the desk for new ones.
Not able to enter the rooms we called to once again be greeted by Amber who maintained her lack of customer service skills at which time she told «US» to come get new key cards not offering to have them delivered by staff, once I mentioned it to her she agreed but I assume she never set this up, after 5 minutes of waiting we found it faster to go get them ourselves.
Although the facility is nice I would not book here again.

We love our stay here! This place feels cozy and has a beautiful small kitchen. They have the best free breakfast of any hotel I have ever stayed at. It loses a star because my biggest pet peeve is when a place says they have free wifi and it is crap. The wifi that is free hardly ever let me check my mail. I even sometimes got a better signal from the hotel next door! if you want better wifi you pay $ 5 a day. I get better free wifi walking into Target.

Outstanding employees! Great room and the best breakfast around. PLEASE update your business center with new computers and faster WiFi.

Nice place off the strip. The doors where we stay were like paper. You could hear the people outside very clearly. Fast easy routes to the strip. I would comment about breakfast but it over by 9:30. 9:30!!! The lifestyle and experiences that people have require a later breakfast. That’s my only disappointment. Even if you didn’t party the night before you can barely sleep without having to rushing to breakfast. Most place usually extend breakfast on the weekends. Not here.
That being said it is only a run of the mill free hotel breakfast. Staff is very friendly.

Beware — you may never be able to connect to the «Free WiFi»!!
We stayed at the Residence Inn for 4 days and were never able to access the WiFi. We informed the front office staff in case there was a router that was down or something and were told that the reason we couldn’t connect was because they were at full capacity and everyone was trying to access the WiFi. Well, if you advertise that you have WiFi, you should have enough bandwidth to accommodate all your customers even when the hotel is fully booked. Thank goodness I was not on a business trip wherein WiFi for my laptop would have been a must.
On the plus side, the free breakfast is great! Tons of choices for a family that has varying tastes and some picky eaters. However, I was little concerned over the fact that they stack boxes of perishable food (breakfast sausage etc.) in a non-​refrigerated, plain old hallway for hours at a time. I saw probably 18 boxes of perishable food (stacked 8×3 high). At first I thought that they were using the hallway as a staging area prior to moving to cold storage but a couple of hours later when we passed by the same boxes were still there. I touched them and they still felt cold — probably because the contents were originally frozen — but shouldn’t these items be transferred to a cold storage area ASAP?
The room was decent but the sofa bed was the super cheap 2-​inch flimsy mattress type.
Overall, the place was decent but because of the lack of WiFi, we won’t stay there again.

Just checked out after a week stay and was beyond satisfied! Customer service was awesome… Jose and Lindsey took every step possible to help as I am having a very stressful move from Texas to Nevada… I would definitely recommend! House keeping was also very sweet! I usually am very cautious about leaving things out but during the busy week I slipped up and left out credit cards and cash and they cleaned up around and also made sure we had enough towels… The room was comfy I loved the fact that I could use the oven cause I’m not too big on eating out. Clean room free breakfast oh yeah and HBO lol … Highly recommended

This review’s not gonna be totally negative, but I’ve gotta hit the «bad stuff» first, for those with short attention spans:
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR NON-​REFUNDABLE PET DEPOSIT!
You’ve been warned.
I’m sure there are other hotels that charge pet deposits, but in my limited travels, this is the FIRST time I’ve been charged a pet deposit of any sort, UP-​FRONT at that. Max, my big, lovable 90 lb Black Lab had just been groomed the week before, is constantly on heartworm/​flea/​tick/​mosquito prevention, current on all shots. I was in town to see my friends’ band open up for Kansas, at the Vegas Biker Fest. Rooms were at a premium this weekend; combine that with being just plain tired after the 350-​mile drive from San Diego, & I resigned myself to bite the bullet, pay the deposit, & check in.
I booked this room via Hotwire, who mysteriously handed me off to
, so to be fair, booking was through a third (or would that be FOURTH?) party. HOWEVER, if Residence is gonna secure business via a third party, that doesn’t excuse either party from FULL DISCLOSURE. If a pet deposit was mentioned at all, NOT mentioned very prominently. I’ll admit to not checking back at the website, but it doesn’t matter. If you’ve ever used an ATM away from your home bank’s network, ATM provider is required to advise you of the transaction fee you’ll incur, BEFORE you can proceed (you have to accept to continue). NO such mechanism in place for my transaction; there SHOULD be.
I consider charging a non-​refundable pet deposit, without proper advisement, to be DECEPTIVE. I had no idea I’d be charged until I was at the front desk, checking in.
Then, my key wouldn’t operate the entry gate; I couldn’t drive in. At first, I thought they’d given me a defective card. After talking to a lady who’d been there since AUGUST, I realized everyone was having the same problem, the hotel had obviously been aware of this for a long time, & chose to do nothing. Small detail, right? Well, just be the head of a traffic jam, the center of attention, people thinking you don’t know how to use your card, and it won’t seem as small.
But at least the smartass behind me had to eat his words when his card wouldn’t work either; the dude who was SURE I «wasn’t using enough authority» with my card. (Yeah buddy, I don’t have strength to handle a ½-​ounce key card; please show me how it’s done…)
I didn’t expect the type of building I lodged in. Most Residence Inns I’ve seen are high-​rises, with concrete slabs for each floor. This place was a group of 2-​story, multi-​unit buildings. I don’t have a problem with that, but they were obviously wood-​frame construction. Why does this matter? Well, if you have a downstairs room, you hear EVERY footstep of your upstairs neighbors, every time a faucet goes on, or toilet flushed.
Before I sound like I can’t be pleased, let’s get to the good points; there are several:
Residence Inn’s located in or near Downtown Las Vegas, depending on who you talk to. There’s a monorail station right across the street; I wish I’d had time to make a round-​trip on it, just to see the sights. This was my 1^st trip to Vegas, even though I grew up in Cali; the only other monorail I’ve ever seen was at Disneyland. Monorail makes sense for Public Transportation, for several reasons.
Room has full kitchen; I mean FULL. Full-​size fridge, w/​icemaker, m’wave, elec range w/​oven, sink, garbage disposal, & all the pots, pans, knives, utensils, silverware you need to cook. Knives were cheap (I had to buy a decent Chef’s knife at Albertson’s), but understandable; I’d do the same thing if I owned a hotel. Knives develop «legs», just like towels!
They’ll even do your shopping, for no add’l charge beyond cost of groceries (but PLEASE TIP).
«Free» WiFi, but if you want SECURE WiFi, $ 5 more. If I’d brought my laptop, I can use my phone as secure hotspot, so I don’t need it myself.
Free breakfast, tho layout of buffet area seemed sorts haphazard. And weird things; all the condiments you expect to make breakfast tacos… except…TORTILLAS. But everything was really good.
Bed was comfy, grounds very attractive. Staff, very attentive & friendly.
Appropriately named, Residence Inn; you could LIVE here for an extended stay (oops, that would be a competitor).
But I gotta come back to that damn NON-​REFUNDABLE PET DEPOSIT.
DEAL BREAKER!
I know if I’d invested 5 min of my time I could’ve easily found a place just as nice with no pet deposit. That said, with OR without Max in tow, if it’s a Marriott or Marriott-​branded hotel (Residence Inn, Springhill Suites, Courtyard, etc), I will avoid them unless I have no alternative. And there’s ALWAYS an alternative.
NOW, the «pet deposit question» will be part of my standard routine, & if I book through a hotel app, I’ll call the location DIRECTLY, assure there are no surprises when I get there.
Get rid of that deposit, and yes, I WILL stay at a Marriott brand again. Until then, NO WAY JOSÉ!

What a great stay we had here last weekend for 3 nights!
Our apartment here was nicer than any place that I have ever resided. I could have moved in here permanently, and we were sad to check out.
I do not recommend staying here if you do not have a car as taxis do not station here, you will have to call one and wait. There is no restaurant within safe walking distance and the surrounding neighborhood is «okay» but not safe for unescorted women. Best to have a group of people if you are walking around outside the hotel. But the SLS hotel is right next door with many services. The convention center and monorail is across the street. The Vegas strip is a few blocks aways and easy to navigate to and we had an easy time pulling in and out of many hotels and returning to the Residence Inn.
Also, there is no one here to help you with your bags, and if you take a 2^nd floor apartment, you will have to carry your stuff up 2 flights of stairs. (See my photo of the stairs.)
It’s like moving into an apartment. Parking is free and easy but it is a walk to the apartment entrance for many units. Have a bag with wheels.
All apartments are smoke free!
The staff was very accomodating with our requests for late checkout, extra towels, and shampoo, bed size, and getting a pet free room. We wish they would ban pets altogether from this property – it’s hard enough maintaining a hotel and keeping a room clean with humans moving in and out regularly, let alone have to deal with a poop factory running around. We usually try to avoid hotels and motels that allow pets.
The towel quality was better than you will find at most hotels, but not as good as a 5-​star hotel. They are all branded, «Marriott.»
The room was very clean, housekeeping did a very good job, and I was not able to find one stray hair anywhere from a prior guest. I did find some hairs from my partner on my stuff, but that is a personal matter…
They have a small pool that we did not use at all. On Saturday night, we walked by and it was jammed with adults and children all conversing in spanish.
Free breakfast is provided and the best part of it was the OATMEAL!!! The Oatmeal was incredible and the only reason I did not skip breakfast. They also had an excellent make your own waffle (M to F only) and Activia yogurt and bananas. Disappointingly, they did not have any hard boiled eggs! I have stayed in many a free breakfast hotel around the USA and hard boiled eggs are a staple these days at Holiday Inn and Hyatt and other chains. I was disappointed. The fake scrambled yellow eggs and frozen heated breakfast potatoes were inedible and should be immediately discontinued – I have never tasted anything so disgusting at a hotel breakfast.
As a side note, we interestingly watched what folks were eating at breakfast since you can take anything you like. Amazingly, it’s the most overweight and obese people that put on their plate the most unhealthy and fattening foods – it was a pure example of what is wrong with the American diet. More education is needed.
Maybe Marriott can set the example for healthy breakfast (and reduced health insurance costs) by eliminating certain foods like the yellow eggs, greasy potatoes, sausage, and bacon, and replacing it with egg whites, more whole grain cereals, gluten free breads, and a bowl of fruit, yogurt to start the day. That along with oatmeal will better our country more than anything Congress has done.
Last, I would replace the cloth sofas with leather ones. It’s gross to sit on a cloth sofa you cannot clean and have no idea who did what on… With leather, housekeeping can take a wet rag and clean it to new for every new resident – much more sanitary.

Residence Inn by Marriott you have really let me down. I strictly only stay in Marriott’s and I’m very picky and which ones I choose to stay. We decided Residence Inn was a good choice because it had full kitchens in the room, complimentary breakfast and it was close to the monorail.
We checked into our room and when we walked in we noticed it was a bit on the small side, there was no dining table and everything just seemed to be crammed in this small room. But I did love the kitchen (even though we didn’t use it) but the fridge and microwave came in handy. The bed was good, very soft with a lot of pillows. The sofa bed was like sleeping on a cot, the mattress was super thin and you could feel the springs poking in your back all night. The bathroom did not have a regular door, it had a sliding wood door which caused me to get stuck in the bathroom twice smh lol.
I was just not impressed with this particular location and I don’t think I will be coming back, next time I will choose Springhill Suites or Courtyard and just walk the extra way to The Strip.

Horrible horrible!
Your room is located outside, no entry control, security is minimum. If your security is important, this is NOT for you. I had to change hotel due to animal /​pet odor, extreme chemical smell from carpet due to spray chemical hotel used to disguise smell, bugs flying everywhere in the room because remember the rooms are located outside, I had to sleep in a room full of giant flies & moths…
Most horrific experience ever ! Will never return,
Staffs don’t care either, surprise In its Marriott brand.

At first I was a little bummed when my husband picked the Residence Inn for our stay in Las Vegas but it turned out to be a very good stay for many reasons.
It was quiet at night so I could sleep and didn’t hear the loud noises from the strip.
The bed was comfortable.
The shower was easy to work and didn’t run out of hot water.
Very close, easy and abundant parking.
Walking distance to Monorail. (saves lots of $ on Taxis)
Free Breakfast. (They offer complimentary dinner Buffet Monday-​Thursday)
The full size fridge was good for holding gallons of water.
Dog Friendly.
I do admit the décor isn’t the most exciting but it seemed very clean so I wasn’t afraid to sit on the furniture like I was at the Cosmopolitan where I thought I’d catch a disease or get pregnant from siting on the furniture.
The only downside I can think up at the moment was the free Wifi was slow in our room so we used a hot box.
It was a good stay I’d return!
