An extended-stay hotel — not priced to compete with the bigger hotel-casinos on the Strip, just five minutes away — the 118 clean, modern, apartment-style guest rooms at the Staybridge Suites best those at the nearby Residence Inn in terms of features and in-room comforts; but it’s immediate surroundings are a bit barren.
Right outside the Las Vegas Convention Center, this hotel offers ample business services and a well-equipped gym. Yet with a forgettable pool, no nightlife and remote location from the action on the Strip, it has little to recommend for anyone other than conventioneers. Plus, suites are on the small side.
This 297-room hotel is located in central Waikiki, a two-minute walk from the beach and a couple of blocks from the shops and restaurants of Kalakaua Avenue. Air-conditioned rooms are bright and modern, equipped with furnished lanais and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a more intimate feel when compared to other resorts in the area, with facilities geared toward couples looking to relax. There’s an open-air pool with a furnished sundeck, modern fitness center, and free evening reception that includes wine and snacks. The restaurant serves Japanese and American cuisine in an elegant setting, plus a breakfast buffet for a fee. Other perks include free access to selected museums and 24-hour room service. Families might prefer the nearby Sheraton Waikiki, which adds kid-friendly facilities and multiple restaurants.
A sleek, eco-minded alternative to the grandiose resorts, the element (with its intentional, lower-case “e” for style) is a great pick in the quiet suburb of Summerlin, near Red Rock Canyon — free high-quality breakfast, free happy-hour drinks on weekdays, and 123 stylish rooms, each with a full kitchen or a small kitchenette area without a stove.
This 1,499-room business behemoth ideally straddles SoMa, the Financial District, and Union Square, and clearly caters to meeting attendees with its multiple restaurants, huge fitness center, and comfortable, if unexciting, quarters. The public spaces can get so overwhelmed by the suit-and-tie set, however, that it often feels more like a convention center than a hotel.
The 96-room Hotel Emblem is a quirky, literary-themed boutique hotel located in downtown San Francisco, two blocks from Union Square. The stylish property has a sceney vibe and a fun style that pays tribute to the Beat Generation (think throw pillows that read “Pot Is Fun” and William Carlos Williams quotes embedded on custom carpeting). The attractive rooms have funky, midcentury-inspired decor, as well as flat-screen TVs and glass decanters by the bedside (each floor has a station with filtered water and afternoon fruit and cookies). Perks include a hip lobby bar with excellent cocktails, a billiards room, and an outpost of the Brooklyn-based Bluestone Lane coffee shop. However, there’s no full-service eatery, and no fitness center. All in all, it’s a cooly mellow spot for couples or solo travelers; for something a bit more buttoned-up, consider The Inn at Union Square – A Greystone Hotel.
Wedged between East Carson Ave and Fremont Street, The D is one of the best values in Downtown Las Vegas. The upper-middle-range, 629-room property features contemporary rooms, a multi-level casino, three on-site restaurants including a steakhouse, and a handful of popular bars. It’s also home to the world’s largest Keno board. While its fitness center is pretty lackluster, The D Las Vegas draws many repeat guests for its unfussy, fun atmosphere. Those looking to spend any time on The Strip should know the heart of the action is a 15-minute drive away. Travelers looking for a more exciting pool scene downtown should consider the nearby Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, though its entry-level rooms are pretty dated.
Gracious service makes the towering, austere 804-room Hyatt Regency feel almost cozy. The big-for-San-Francisco rooms — all renovated in 2014 — feature 42-inch flat-screen HDTVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, iHome alarm clocks, and wonderfully comfortable Hyatt Grand beds. This is largely a business hotel, though its location near the scenic Embarcadero and bustling commercial artery of Market Street is convenient for leisure travelers exploring the city. Le Meridien, four blocks away, offers hipper rooms and a more happening restaurant, for similar rates.
This hotel was significantly impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017, and is currently closed for repairs until June 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The four-pearl Westin St. John Resort Villas is the largest resort on tiny St. John. The decor is typical of the Westin brand, with meticulous landscaping and modern, upscale interiors. Features include a soft sand beach, a large pool, two beachfront restaurants, and a full-service spa and salon. There’s also plenty for kids. The 226 contemporary, homey villas come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and kitchens or kitchenettes — some even have private pools. Unfortunately, upcharges like a hefty daily resort fee can grow tiresome. Those looking for something a bit more intimate should consider the nearby Gallows Point Resort, which has sharp villas that include full kitchens at similar rates.
The upper-middle-range Room Mate Grace is a stylish, modern boutique with a central setting in Times Square. The 139 rooms have patterned wallpaper, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, but entry-level units are tiny. Given the busy location, noise can be an issue. Although lacking a full restaurant, an excellent healthy breakfast buffet spread is available for a fee, while all guests get free access to a sauna and small 24-hour gym. A small indoor pool with a swim-up bar is a rarity for this area, but it’s reserved for pool parties on certain evenings. Overall, this is a great value for the area, but travelers wanting something a bit quieter should consider the nearby Kimpton Muse Hotel.
