We had tickets to see U2 in town. I did not ask for it, but they placed us in the farthest building which was the closest to the stadium. (Although I did mention I was going to the concert when I called few days earlier to check on my reservation.) The stadium is a five minute walk from the hotel. The hotel has plenty of parking near the rooms.

The room was huge and clean with two TVs. The bed was firm and comfy. If you stay here make sure to bring food and stuff because the kitchen is great for preparing your own meals; fridge, micro and dishwasher, even pots and pans are all there. Do bring some dish liquid and dish cloths though if you intend to use them.

If you don’t mind the stairs, ask to be placed on the top third floor so you won’t hear guest above you. We didn’t have any next door neighbors so it was pretty quiet.

Check out time was noon so we had plenty of time to sleep in after the late night show and the room stayed dark thanks to the thick curtains. We would definitely stay here in the future if going to the stadium.

My two young sons and my wife and I stayed here during beautiful fall weather (80s and sunny each day) and went to a football game at Sam Boyd Stadium (which was walking distance from the room).

This place looks like a huge apartment complex with 14 three-floor buildings. The landscaping is pleasant and the structures are all stucco. Many of the guests are actually long-term residents and several have pets in their rooms and keep piles of stuff at their doors. Two little dog poop bags were by the stairs we climbed all three days we were there.

Our room was large and the tiled areas and surfaces were clean but the carpet was quite stained. We had a two-bedroom on the top floor so we couldn't hear any noise above us but we could hear everything our next door neighbors had to say. The center room was a kitchen area with a small couch (not a sofa bed). Inexplicably, only three chairs were at the small table (and no chairs in the rooms) so all four us could never sit and eat all together. Near the table is an ethernet plug, where you plug your computer to get the Internet (make sure you bring your won ethernet cable). There is no wireless service. Occasionally, I had to quit my browser and email when the service went out but it was reasonably reliable.

There were a few utensils and the very cheapest plastic plates and bowls (four of each). The unit also featured a dishwasher but no dishwashing soap, dish cloths or automatic detergent. So we just used hot water and hoped for the best. There was plenty of cabinet space but no toaster or any other small appliances like a blender.

The beds were firm but also kind of noisy. The pillows were also lumpy. The sheets had a prominent bleach smell, which was oddly comforting. The towels were thin and rough. The air conditioning worked well. We never had the attendants clean the room while we there to save resources.

The kids and I swam in the pool and used the hot tub, which also were strongly chlorinated. Pool is only four feet deep.

Check-in was slow as the three attendants were all trying to solve a computer problem and hardly noticed me waiting. Check-out service at the front desk was also slow and they couldn't print my receipt. I sense they are not highly trained or paid.

All that said, it was a decent deal at less than $60 a night though they added $2 a day for long distance though we never picked up a phone.

After spending many hours trying to figure out where I was going to stay on my trip to Las Vegas I decided to Stay at Siena Suites. After driving for 24 hr and following the map I printed off of google maps I rolled into Siena Suites with no problems at all. The hotel is located right on Boulder HWY with a huge well lit sign which makes it almost impossible to miss even for a tired blurred vision traveler like myself.

It took about 10 minutes to check in and the lady at the counter was very knowledgeable, so check in was a breeze. I then lugged my bags up the steps to my 2 bedroom suite. I can honestly say the suite I stayed in was as good or better than the pictures I viewed on the internet before I booked my stay. The buildings were well maintained and the grounds were clean. The swimming pool and hot tub were both clean and pretty nice in my opinion!

My over all opinion of this hotel is pretty good and I would definitely stay here again, but I don't think Siena Suites is for everybody and I will tell you why.

1. The walls are paper thin! I tried getting a suite on the 3rd floor so I wouldn't hear people walking above me, but I ended up having to settle for a 2nd floor suite. The people above me were not very loud but I could still hear them walking. I could also hear when people were running water and walking by the suite I was in. The noise didn't both me a whole lot because I knew the walls were thin, but if your a light sleeper this could make for an uncomfortable stay. My advice would be to get a 3rd level suite if at all possible so you don't hear people walking above you. If you can't get a 3rd level suite I would suggest asking at the front desk to be put in a suite they feel will be quiet, because this place has the potential to be very loud if there are families with children or young people who tend to stay up late and make noise.

2. I'm pretty tolerant and understand things happen, but thought I would add this also, because it was part of my experience at Siena Suites. Maintenance in my opinion is a little bit slow, but they did get the job done! When I got to my room the remote for the tv didn't work. Not a big deal, but it took about 16 hrs before maintenance came to reprogram the remote. Then I had toilet problems, but lucky for us we had a two bedroom suite so we did have one working toilet. The issue with the toilet was the float was sticking and the tank would over flow. This could happen to any toilet and I don't hold it against Siena Suites, but once again it took 16 hours to get maintenance to come fix it. From what I was told they don't have 24 hr maintenance. Maintenance shows up about 8:00 am. They came to fix the toilet late in the afternoon. It's pretty laid back around Siena Suites so if you want things done right now, you might get irritated with how long it takes for maintenance to show up.

3. The internet. I was rather impressed with the speed of the internet. I was able to watch videos on my computer and check email just as I would at home, but the internet was down for at least 12 hours while I was there, but it did get fixed and everything was fine.

4. Laundry is not coin operated. You have to buy a card and you can only purchase in $5 or larger amounts, but laundry is about $3.00 a load to wash and dry, so that isn't to bad!!!

5. No elevators and outdoor entrances to all rooms pretty much like a Motel, so if you don't like or can't do steps this could be an issue for you.

6. If you plan to walk to the casino's don't even think about it!!! I think the closest casino I could find would be the Cannery on Boulder Hwy and that has to be about 3 miles away. If you have a car this is a great place to stay, but if you have to take taxi's it could get pretty expensive. I had a car and i like to drive, so it worked out just fine for me.

Like I said, overall I was pretty impressed. My room was very clean. It had pots, pans, silver wear and cups. The bed was not top of the line, but I thought it was plenty comfortable. I spent $47 a night for 7 night in a 2 bedroom suite that was comfortable overlooking the pool. If you are tolerant of noise like I am this is a very good deal and I would recommend it to anybody!!!

This is the best value for money extended stay hotel in Vegas.
The rooms are very clean, the majority of staff are friendly & very helpful.
The pools & hot tubs are clean but could do with some new pool side furniture!
I have lived here for nearly 3 years on & off and I find it secure & comfortable.
