Circus Circus Hotel & Casino

Plusy: The front desk staff was great. A lot to do.

Minusy: The discription was not the same as the hotel stay. I got a late check out due a flight delay which was great. I wanted to sleep in later but house keeping knocked on the door 3x before 10am. I also had th do not disturb sign on the door.

Mixed feelings

Plusy: The price for a family of 4 was reasonable although not that great once the 'resort fee' was factored in. In truth you don't get that much for your money. The room is OK and there are fun activities for the kids but the pool (included) is not a lot to write home about whereas the adventure dome (pay extra) is good fun.

Minusy: The facilities are dated and amenities like in room fridge are not there. In the end, while the room was spacious you don't get anything more than a mid range motel. The back stair cases on the 'Manor Lodge' are pretty scuzzy and are not regularly cleaned even though they are the obvious point of access to one end of the building. I'll see what the Travelodge next door costs next time!

I got what I paid for

Plusy: It was cheap and it wasn't a budget motel.

Minusy: Mattress was way worn. We were rolling off the sides because there wasn't enough support left in the thing. There was a bit of an odor in the room we never did identify. The escalator wasn't working from the midway up to the second floor. But I didn't expect too much more for $85 a night.

Palms was much better value and quality

Plusy: Pretty well located but not worth the cost.

Minusy: Didn't have a room in the main hotel to our surprise so we had a 10 minute walk to/from the main hotel and casino. The amount of circus was surprisingly limited. It could've been so much better.

Never again

Plusy: Staff was great

Minusy: Room smelled like damp clothes, woke up at 3am to find crickets on my bed and wife woke up at 9 am with bed bug bites all on her arms and legs. Had to pay for valet parking even tho we had a room reserved

Bad Experience

Minusy: On our last day there, checkout was at 11am but we had the cleaning service either knocking or trying to open our hotel door since 8am. I understand that maybe most people are out of their hotel room by 8am, but we had until 11am. Either way the last time they opened our door, I was fresh out of the shower and completely naked. The cleaning lady apologized but the damage was already done. I was extremely embarrassed and I really will never again book with circus circus.
