we are at north shore and lake mead
in moapa valley nevada don't know where
that is we didn't know that either
until we looked over where to stay near
uh valley of fire in nevada at the state
park
it's a pretty popular state park um for
people
that want to make a day trip out of las
vegas but since we're not staying in
vegas
and we didn't want to stay in vegas we
wanted to stay as close as possible to
a valley of fire so this was the closest
hotel that i found
um where we could stay with our pets yes
because we bought our two for our babies
with us
zoe and kuma and so far they
are liking it yeah yeah so far they like
it it's
so far i think we're the only ones
staying here that's why yeah i have not
noticed any other guests
we don't see any cars in the parking lot
we didn't see near the dogs
and um kuma immunity
loved the pillows in here and the carpet
so he likes the beds she loves jumping
from one thing
from one bed to another yep had fun with
that yeah but we were a little bit
confused when we first parked
there was a guy cleaning outside i'm
assuming he's the owner
oh our maintenance guy i don't know who
he is
he's a worker of the hotel um but as i
was about to go because we got in
around 1 15 p.m and check-in is
three so it's about to check in but then
he said that nobody was here yet
that usually check in at that three but
he could probably
check everybody in that too actually not
him but the work the employee that comes
here
um so we just waited around because you
know it was 1 15
and we're like yeah we'll just let the
dogs out and let them walk around
and then we saw the employee drive in
around 1 30ish
so then the guy came back to us and was
like okay you can check in now
so essentially we got to check in before
2 p.m but
if you're betting on wanting to check in
before
i wouldn't depend on that because
i think they're really kind of strict on
checking in yeah three
and it was kind of coincidence that he
was out here when we
parked so if he wasn't around i think
the door just would have been locked
before
yeah because there was nobody out
because there was no one at the front
desk um we literally saw her drive into
the parking lot and go inside
to work so it's just very nice though
very very yeah very very nice
it's a very small town so i think you
know the rules here are different it's
not like a typical hotel where you can
maybe check in early here it's like no
you're pretty much gonna have to check
in
what it says chicken time is so
uh the room is pretty basic but i knew
that going in
when i reserved this hotel because
there's not very many options
right by valley of fire state park
especially if you have
pets so this was the best hotel i found
that had like really great reviews
so so far you know i think we like
the way it is it's very basic like i
said um
outdated but it's clean it's very very
clean yeah even the outside premises are
really clean
um and we even saw the guy who was out
here cleaning yeah
brewing everything yeah so yeah it's
very it's very well maintained
it's actually way less dusty than even
nice hotels i've been at
like there's there's like nothing dusty
in here um
so yeah and span clean yes outside
our view is uh two uh picnic benches so
they have like this nice shaded
area with two picnic benches i guess if
you want to eat outside there
there was a mexican restaurant across
the street yep that had
all the restaurants here were about i
think they were all four-star reviews so
they're not bad restaurants
um they did have good reviews at that
mexican restaurant and then they also
have
um i would say like five to six other
ones like down the street
um and they have a mcdonald's so if you
like mcdonald's it's
here too yeah so we got we got quite a
bit of options we're gonna be here for
three days we this is thursday and we're
checking out uh
sunday so um yeah we're gonna spend all
that time exploring uh the park
the i keep forgetting the name of it i
don't know why yeah
trouble saying it for some reason but
it's valley of fire state park
that's it now we're going to give you a
room tour this is the bedroom it is
very simple a little outdated in style
but the main thing is that it's super
clean so i mean we don't even see a
speck of dust in your hair
the paint looks brand new the sheets
look really clean
and the carpet looks clean too so i as
long as it's clean
i'm happy i can deal with the kind of
outdated
look we have two queen size beds plenty
of pillows
and when we first walked in we noticed
that the
blanket was really thin and i'm actually
kind of cold right now because we just
walked in and we don't have the heater
going yet and it's supposed to get
in the 30s in the morning and i felt
like maybe
this would not be warm enough and i
don't really want to blast here because
you know that makes you like really dry
so we call the front desk and they
provided us with comforters so
um very friendly indeed they um
even let us check in early when they saw
that we were waiting so
so far the service has been great and
they brought this within like less than
five minutes and usually room service
takes forever so
so happy that they are really quick with
that um there is also a table here
with two chairs which that will come in
handy since we are here during the
pandemic there is no dining out so we
will be
you know ordering everything to go so
we'll most likely be using this table
quite often
um which is great because i if i'm gonna
be in a hotel for more than one night i
really don't like eating on the bed
because
i'm sure it's gonna be crumbs and i
really don't want crumbs on my bed so
i'm glad they have a table here a very
very old school phone i haven't seen one
of these in a while
because this room is old school i don't
see any usb plugs and i don't even know
where
the plugs are to charge the phone
yeah basically we're gonna have to
unplug this clock
and this lamp if we want to use a plug
so
an outlet so that that's not the best
but
you know i guess it's kind of what you
got to work with
here and uh the tv there is one but it
is super tiny
i think my computer tv or screen is much
larger than this
but yeah we're not here to watch tv so
but at least there is one
there is a huge dresser
[Music]
nice and clean again it's not dusty at
all that's the thing is like every
even if i've been to nice hotels and
it's dusty
here it's like there is no dust anywhere
so i'm
pretty impressed with that large mirror
here and this room does have
a microwave and refrigerator which is
super convenient especially nowadays
when you know we're doing a lot of
takeout orders so this is really nice to
have and me and crystal do use the
fridge
we've already got our water in here and
most likely we'll use
the microwave later to want some of
our food like if we have leftovers from
dinner
but um yeah that's pretty much the room
here we haven't slept here yet we just
got here
so um hopefully it'll be nice and quiet
which i'm
assuming it is gonna be because so far
we have not heard
anything and we'll know because the dogs
usually bark when they hear like a
little sound and
they've been pretty quiet so hopefully
we'll all get a good night's rest
finally let crystal uh show you the
bathroom area
here is the sink and bathroom area
uh the sink is very basic again
you know you got oh look at this cute
little mini dryer here
if i can take it out yeah look at how
many this is
i love how tiny this thing is at least
they have a hair dryer
and then over here they have a coffee
station
so it provides some plastic cups wrapped
up
and some condiments i'm guessing these
are like the coffee pods
so they have coffee in room which i
haven't seen in a lot of hotels lately
because of the pandemic so
a lot of hotels even actually the more
luxurious the hotel the more i notice
that they don't put in
coffee pots in the rooms anymore because
they're trying to stay safe and
you know create less germs so usually
you have to go to the lobby or something
or they might not even provide that
so to have like a coffee pot in a room i
haven't seen that in a while since i've
been
traveling with the pandemic going on
uh they provide some toiletries here
that i just dropped
um some face bar and then
uh shampoo conditioner
and lotion so your basic stuff right
here
this cute little basket that's the
plastic ice bucket some tissue
um i think the sink is fine
i think there's going to be enough room
you know for our stuff of course we love
some way more room than this but this is
going to be and i guess we'll have each
i kind of have a side
we'll probably put the coffee pot
somewhere else so we have more room on
the sink
and then the other side across from the
sink is
the bathroom it's very dark this is the
lightest
that light will go um
but yeah your standard tub shower head
and they give you four towels and um
you know your wash and hand towel as
well
[Music]
and then they have a full full-length
mirror here on that door
so okay doesn't have to get upset there
is a full-length mirror
oh got a phone call gonna decline that
uh and then back here is the closet
so this is where we put all our stuff um
it provides you with four hangers
and a luggage rack there's an iron board
and then the iron is back here behind
our bag
and um yeah
that's that's pretty much it for the
room tour
um we'll have to report back on how
everything worked once we're
done with our stay here but so far you
know first impressions
we're okay with it so we're leaving a
little early
from our hotel because our biggest thing
was we could not sleep last night
no i thought i was dreaming but i could
hear
this man snoring or it could be a woman
but it was so
loud i was in and out of sleep and this
morning crystal mentioned like oh my
gosh i thought it was a dream
we could literally hear the person
upstairs snoring that's how
either he snores or she snores very loud
or those walls are super thin
i think they're very thin we could not
sleep at all
so then i was thinking about it while i
was trying to go back to sleep
um you know maybe we should just leave
early because
i'd rather get my sleep and lose out on
my money for another day
than to just deal with that again so
another thing too was that the beds
weren't that comfortable either they're
okay but if you're in a situation where
you can't sleep very well in the first
place like that's just on top
of you know the noise or just like yeah
let's just uh drive home
it's unfortunate because if it wasn't
really if we had good sleep
um i think we i definitely wouldn't mind
staying another day
also the town had nothing good to eat
that was another thing too like every
place we've tried was just
horrible and and the reason why we never
played sales was horrible
because mcdonald's was the only thing
that we actually enjoyed and we don't
really like mcdonald's that much either
so so when you say mcdonald's is the
best place to eat and spit it down
that's pretty bad yeah so i was like
well if we stay another night to relax
where are we going to eat cause
everything's sucked so far and i don't
want to
eat another sucky meal so
yeah i'm gonna imagine some like pros
and cons of this place because it wasn't
all that bad i don't want to give it
like a super negative review
and maybe we just had terrible terrible
people that were upstairs from us
so one positive is that what i was
checking out early
they're very on top of watching their
customers go with their guests go in and
out
and so the owner i think he's the owner
and his wife came
out and asked if everything was okay
because i was checking out early
and i told him you know we just we want
to sleep because the upstairs was like
way too noisy and like oh we could
switch rooms
like yeah but we already packed and
we're just ready to go
and they were very apologetic about it
and said you know well next time please
let us know so we can just like switch
rooms for you
um i'm like okay thank you so i wanted
just to mention that
that they were very accommodating about
it like they would have worked it out
with us
yeah but at that point we're just ready
to go
so i must mention like one more con from
high end
or maybe a couple more there's a couple
more and then we'll go into all the
positives yeah
so the wi-fi didn't really work very
well uh it did
in the mornings but at night afternoons
and nights it just had never worked it's
never worked even though they say that
they have free wi-fi it doesn't really
work yeah and i don't have very good
cell reception there i have t-mobile and
i had two bars
so if you're someone has t-mobile and
you're relying on wi-fi don't rely on it
because
i could i could barely do anything there
um
yeah i have verizon i did have reception
so i was okay but yeah
if i didn't have a reception there i'd
be pretty frustrated
so anyway so going into the positives
we already mentioned that the customer
service is
great they're very attentive
accommodating
um you know very i just want to say they
really made you feel
special like you were the only one
staying there because they knew exactly
you know when you're checking in when
you're checking out so that was really
nice
um another thing that i really
appreciated was just how clean
everything was like there was no dust
anywhere
when we arrived there he was grooming
outside
yeah he was cleaning outside like all
the time i feel like
all the time he was cleaning and as a
matter of fact
the reason why we couldn't check in
early was because they were cleaning
yeah and when we checked in
this hotel did the most plexiglass i
have seen at any hotel
like you cannot go anywhere near the
front desk they had so much of a
separation between
the guests and the reception um so yeah
they are very very on high alert when it
comes to cobia precautions
there's so much separation that they
have to uh they have to actually walk
out to like oh no
they had to hang out with the floor oh
yeah that's right we had a good board so
that we could reach each other so that's
how much
of a distance there was which it should
be that that is the correct way to do it
um another thing too was the um
you know closeness to the park we the
reason why i chose this place in the
first place was because it was close to
valley of fire state park and it was the
only hotel that was pet friendly
that was close enough for us also i just
want to mention too earlier when i first
given the room tour we mentioned that
the bathroom light was very different
well it actually lights up after a while
so if you keep it on for a bit then it
does brighten up
so there's no issue with the bathroom
light it was just fine
and i like the shower pressure the
temperature was great too
yes so the shower worked really well for
me we didn't do any of the amenities
there i actually don't even know
if they had any amenities available
because they were so strict on their
covet guidelines as they should be
um they usually do have free breakfast
but they weren't offering that because
of cobit
so yeah i would say you know if you have
if you want to spend a night there
that's a great place but if you're gonna
spend like three nights there you're
probably gonna get a little frustrated
like we did um but otherwise i think it
is a great place
you just have to have good upstairs
neighbors or ask for the second floor
yeah because you can hear everything you
can hear everything
uh otherwise yeah i think it was
a good stay so we hope this review
