Got the room from a Priceline bid. I was disappointed when I found out that it was Extended Stay because I stayed at one before and it was a dump. This one on Valley View was much better but the room was way too hot. The room was clean and it was nice having separate bedroom and living room, but only the living room had an air conditioner. The bedroom did not. I had the air conditioner on full cold power all day, but the bedroom stayed hot. I was literally sweating as I slept. I'd estimate the bedroom temperature was 85 degrees. And the windows were bolted shut so you cannot open them. This hotel might be fine during the winter, but I recommend you avoid it during hot weather.

The air conditioner is loud and one of the fan cannot work. Some lights were broken. The carpet is dirty. The window was broken and cannot be opened. We spent over$100 per night. It wasn't worth it.

My traveling partner (female) and I (43 year old male) stayed Sat - Sat October 27th thru November 3rd, 2007. We booked late, a huge convention (120,000 folks) was going on at the LVCC, and the major hotels were either booked or very, very expensive. The Extended Stay America on South Valley View was a decent alternative for us. We paid about $ 639 for the week, with tax included.

The suite (#1502) was on the back building, back side, facing the Cay Club/Interstate 15/strip. No view whatsoever from any room, so don't bother to ask. This was my 8th vacation of Las Vegas, and my first in anything but a regular hotel room. The suite was approximately 25 x 25, divided into two big rooms. The living room/dining room/kitchen was the first room. Sofa, TV, table with 2 chairs, coffee table, end table and 3-drawer chest. The kitchen has a stove top, microwave, sink, large refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and the bearest of kitchenware and utinsels. The bedroom/bath had two full beds, a nightstand, 6-drawer chest, TV, one sink, large closet, small tub and toilet area.
The suite had one A/C unit in the front room, and a thru-the-wall fan to send air to the bedroom. The furnishings were nice and clean, but not luxurious. The TV's had poor cable connections and poor pictures.

The check-in and check-out was super smooth, with friendly personnel. I asked for extra items (coffee, toilet paper, etc.) during the stay, and got all I needed. I even received mail promptly.

The pool and hot tub was very small, but clean. The lounge chairs were unimaginably hard and uncomfortable. We sat by the pool only 2 hours, then left. We didn't use the exercise room or onsite laundry.

The noise factor was very good. The place seemed deserted during the day. What neighbors? Nice and quiet.

You could walk to the Rio, Gold Coast (both one block), or Palms (two blocks) during the day, but the neighborhood was a little scary at night. If you walk at night, don't do it alone.

We had a car and drove everywhere. Flamingo Road, I-15, and the strip were very close.

I would stay at this hotel again if I had to, but would rather stay at a nicer place. If you are crashing in Vegas for a few days and need a convenient and inexpensive place to lay your head, you need to consider this hotel. If you like and/or need to cook, this is a good choice too.

Do not stay at Extended Stay Carlsbad as there is no manager on duty after 10pm. When I stayed there was uncontrolled partying with about 50 people until 2.30am on Friday and Saturday nights with a keg of beer and people urinating in the gardens around the pool and yahooing. They started coming in 4's and 5's at around 11pm and I finally phone the police at 2.30am when it looked like it would continue all night.
The manager next day did not care.
