At check-in we had to wait over an hour, after 4 PM, to get our room. While this was frustrating, the manager and front desk worked to keep all guests happy with champagne and F&B credits.
I was disappointed that the property decided to cut all housekeeping. While I want to keep all members of staff safe, there is little evidence that COVID can be spread in an empty room (even Dr Fauci still has his home cleaned by a cleaner). On top of that, each room needs to be cleaned after a guest vacates it anyway. This all led to some interesting tasks. In order to get new towels, we needed to call down, place our old towels into the valet closet, and then retrieve our new towels from the valet closet. On one occasion, I requested that trash be removed from the room. This was not taken care of and hours later I had to request it again. After the second request, the trash was promptly removed.
Overall, I'm still glad that we stayed here and I believe that the staff was trying their best. COVID has been difficult and I know that there will be hiccups as hotels figure things out. My only problem is that a WA has to be perfect, that's part of what you pay for. If I'm going to stay at a hotel where I don't get housekeeping (or turndown service), or room service, or a fantastic restaurant, or a delicious sit-down breakfast, or a luxurious spa, then why would I pay WA prices? I wouldn't. Somehow the WA needs to figure out, in the age of COVID, what it's brining to the table. If I'm being "welcomed back to luxury" then I need to feel it. I didn't this time.
You are able to request housekeeping with literally a push of a button in your room. The room itself was very nice, with a valet closet/drawer area that was in it's own "hallway" upon entry into the room. The bathroom was spacious enough for two, with a large soaking tub, and separate shower (a little on the small side) and toilet, along with double sinks. There were 2 sets of towels, bath salts, shampoo, etc. at my disposal.
Complimentary water bottles were replenished daily, which I appreciated. The drapes and lights work with an electronic wall panel but were a little difficult to work with initially.
We dined at the Zen Cafe for breakfast, and although it was a bit pricey (approximately $50 for breakfast, coffee, and a glass of champagne), everything was delicious.
We spent a day at the pool, renting a Cabana, and enjoying the privacy it provided. The service was lacking in terms of someone checking in on us frequently. Also, a child was in the "adult" pool with an adult who did not monitor the child. He was doing what the signs said not to do (i.e. diving, wearing flippers, etc.). NO employees ever addressed this, which was quite dangerous in my opinion.
We wanted to use the complimentary car service but were always told that we just missed it...so taxis were our mode of transportation and we had better luck securing them at the Aria Resort next door.
I did enjoy the seclusion of the hotel, as it is "on the strip" but cannot be accessed by a lot of foot traffic, so it was very quiet and felt like we were somewhere else.
I booked my room by calling the Hilton agent and requested a double beds but she said only king bed was available so I booked it. During the morning of arriving, the Hilton web showed my reservation became double beds.
When I arrived to the hotel at noon, the front desk person told me they upgraded my room to double beds but the room will not be ready until almost 4pm. That was ok, we left the luggage at the hotel and went out to have lunch and walked around. When we came back at 3:30pm, the other rep told me the room will be available during the evening. During the evening??? I asked what exactly during the evening mean, like after 6pm? Then he said more likely 5pm. He said it was because I changed the request in the last minute from King to double beds, the house keeper didn't plan to clean the room until later.
I am a diamond member, I checked in at noon, then 3-4 hours later, the house keepers still didn't have time to clean a room for us? I asked the front desk person, he said the house keeper will not change their schedule just for me.
To be honest, I was a bit mad at the time, and I insisted to have the room by 4pm. The guy did call someone on the phone and managed to have the room ready by 4pm.
The rest of the stay was ok. There is no member lounge in the hotel. The diamond member get daily $50 per day for breakfast. If you do eat in the Zen restaurant for breakfast, the daily food credit is most likely not enough.
The front desk is very nice, they recognized me by my name throughout the stay; they provide bottle of waters at no cost. I called them at 7:30 with a request and told me housekeeping is not available until 8, maybe is because of the pandemic.
The hotel and the room were extremely clean with hand sanitizer every where.
Valet parking was also very efficient.
