content: After reading the reviews on this site, I was skeptical.  However I had no choice since my family had already booked it.  We booked the Groupon deal for the Monarch Suite at $40/night.  Now when you think of a suite, don't think like the suite in \""The Hangover.\""\n\nI expected the room to be complete crap as it was listed on the reviews, but when I walked in, it was opposite of my expectations.  In the monarch suite, it is like a one-bedroom apartment.  It has a living room, a wet bar/kitchen, and a bedroom.  Two TV's in total, the flat screen is in the bedroom.  I don't mind the tube TV in the living room.\n\nThe carpet was clean, the furniture was clean, the bathroom was clean, and the bedroom was--clean.  Ice cold AC and free coffee in the room.  We requested a microwave (which was free) and a nice bell hop came by and dropped it off within 15 minutes, he didn't even expect a tip!  \n\nThey have three pools and they are your average apartment complex size, but they are in working order!  Someone said the pool was cold in December... WHY ARE YOU SWIMMING IN DECEMBER?? \n\nBasically my experience here was amazing.  Great room at $40/night with NO EXTRA FEES!  Great amenities and a shuttle straight to the strip, how convenient can it get?  I'd suggest you stay here as it is wonderful.  The only con is it's near McCarran Airport and you can hear the flights landing from here.\n\nTIP: Come early and request a renovated room!  That's what we did and that's probably why our stay was great.  Lol
