"The apartment was nice, modern, and very clean, with new appliances and a comfortable bed. Overall, it felt well-maintained and offered good value for the location. However, there were a few issues during my stay. Some of the light switches were confusing and didn’t always work properly sometimes only certain combinations would turn lights on or off. The unit is downstairs, and noise from the upstairs neighbor (who was quite loud at times) made it difficult to sleep in or rest comfortably....

J Resort

8/10 Good

"The place has been renovated and updated. It's location is excellent and also not quite as chaotic as the El Dorado, Circus Circus, Silver Legacy location. Housekeeping is only by request. Staff were friendly enough except at the Afterglow Bar where one bartender was particularly surly. The other bartenders in that bar didn't seem to know how to actually make drinks so we would go to the El Dorado down the street if we wanted a cocktail. The slots were good and it's a smaller casino, but a lot of fun. We will go back."

"The house was clean and orderly. Good directions for checking in and out were provided along with a good house manual. Kitchen was well stocked, even with some spices, coffee, teas.

"Property was as pictured and described. We appreciated the a/c in each bedroom. We did have to reach out to receive our code to access the property (rather than receiving it automatically 24 hours before check in), but once we got it everything went smoothly."
