Well, we have read numerous reviews of this resort, and they were mostly awful reviews. I am happy to say that the resort was better than we expected. We didn't exchange a week to stay here; we instead paid $500 for a two-bedroom. We would normally stay at the fabulous hotels on the Strip, but since we visited during the week they were expecting Nascar, prices for a night were so highly priced. To stay at Aladdin was almost $300/night for mid-week, and that was ridiculous. We paid as low as $90/night in one summer we had stayed there. Anyway, at Summer Bay, we had a two-bedroom suite, and everything was new, like the appliances and furniture. The beds were as comfortable as staying at a luxury hotel. It was spacious for six people.
We've read they have been renovating the resort, so were lucky to have got a room in the main complex, where the lobby was located. Other complexes didn't look as nice from the outside. The pool wasn't yet available near our complex, and they had a small fitness room. Our balcony looked directly at Bally's. On our right, we could see the Flamingo and Imperial Palace. Those were the good points of our rooms, but we did have problems with the maintenance crew. The A/C was an older unit. We requested that they fix it, but I don't think they did because the vents were still blowing out warm air. Thank goodness for cool weather and ceiling fans. We also had a problem with the tub being clogged. This was terrible, since there were six of us! We requested service one time, and nothing. We requested it a second time the next morning, and they finally sent someone to fix it. Overall, the stay here was comfortable. We were satisfied with the accommodations. The monorail station is nearby, and they do have shuttle service for a small fee.
