5 reviews for Staybridge Suites
This is my new Company Preferred hotel in Las Vegas and I'm glad they selected it! For business travel, this is as good as it gets. The only thing that I miss that I would find in a full service hotel is a restaurant and bar.
This almost brand new hotel (opened end of 2008) is very conveniently located, close to Mandalay Bay (actually, walking distance, across the freeway, if you don't mind walking a couple of quick miles). As previous reviewers have pointed out, the road system around this maze can be a bit confusing since roads that logically must intersect, don't! But once you have your bearings, getting in and out of here is a breeze!
Hotel parking can be an issue - there are about three other hotels in the immediate vicinity and I'm sure the parking spills over between the hotels. I did not have a problem during any of my stays but I can see that it could be an issue on days when the hotels are all full.
~ 4 stars for accessibility and parking
The lobby is wide open, with high open ceilings. The breakfast room is situated to your right as you enter the hotel and the check-in desk straight ahead. Check-in staff was extremely courteous when we checked in, recognizing me by name, status and company. Nice personal touch. Easy check-in process.
Elevators are situated all the way down a hallway towards the rear of the hotel so it is a bit of a walk. Also, this hotel has only 5 floors so they have a hydraulic elevator so it's really slow (but brand new)
~ 5 stars for general ambiance and service
My room was fabulous - a large living room area with a full kitchen that was as big as the one back home. Fully equipped with a full size stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and cooking range/oven. It is also fully stocked with plates, dishes, cutlery, knives and cooking/serving utensils - everything you'd need to cook a full meal except the ingredients themselves. A welcoming bag of popcorn and cookies and M&M's completed the picture.
A small closet door inside the kitchen holds a full size washer and dryer - impressive indeed!!
Living room is huge - with a table that can seat 6 to 8 people comfortably. Living room has a large sectional sofa that also pulls out into a bed, a large 37" LCD TV and a door leading to a balcony that had a table with seating for 4 people. Wow!
The bedroom is cozy, with a queen sized bed, its own 37" LCD TV with its own remote and plenty of closet space. Yu can also access the balcony from the bedroom.
The bathroom is huge, with a separate bath tub area with double sinks and a separate shower stall/toilet area with yet another sink. Yes, THREE sinks in total. Wow! again =) And I have always enjoyed the convenience of a separate shower stall, though this one is pretty tight, considering the size of the bathroom - that would be my only gripe.
~ 5 stars for the room - granted, the hotel is new, but still very very impressive for a budget hotel like this.
Finally, free Wi-Fi and free breakfast. Breakfast was adequate - nothing to write home about but it was fresh, hot and free. So, no complaints.
All for a $89 rate - can't beat this!!!
~ 5 stars overall for a great comfortable stay with easy access to everything. If you're a business traveler staying more than a few days, you should consider this hotel - it will make your stay a lot nicer!

$200+ a night for Excalibur and Imperial Palace in Las Vegas?! Yup, it's a holiday weekend and I need a room. I booked this place a few weeks before Labor Day since we were driving and didn't mind staying off the Strip (bit cheaper). Ended up getting a room here for one night during Labor Day weekend for $109 including taxes.
Pros:
- New suite property with modern furniture, decor, and styling.
- All suites have a bedroom, kitchen, dining area, and a living room with fold out sleeper. This room can sleep 4 very comfortably with room to spread out.
- Big bathroom with nice flooring and modern fixtures.
- Cheap and very close to strip, there's a shuttle to the MGM Grand every hour although we didn't use it.
- Very friendly and efficient staff. Once we got the room, the smoke detector was low on battery and beeping. One call to the front desk and the very nice and professional maintenance guys were at my door in 5 minutes and in and out to fix the problem.
- NON-SMOKING!!!
Cons:
- If you drive around, may be difficult to navigate the streets, some are on different levels and don't intersect with main streets you need to get onto the strip. Bring a portable nav system!
Lowdown: If you don't mind staying off the strip and want a more low key sleeping experience, this is the place to be! I can see how it's awesome for families or if you go with a small group of non party hard people. Otherwise, you might want to be on the strip for easy access to nightlife. If I stay off the strip again, this is the place I'll be!
This is a rare occurrence for me the germ-o-phobe. My friends will agree. For those of you who doubt the 5 stars don't! (yah I know I had my doubts when I saw only 1 review by Melanio F. AND it was a 5).
I swear, I will try to stay at every Staybridge Suites I come across in my travels!
The suite was enormous, it was clean, the kitchen was brand new with a freezer/fridge, range oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc etc! I didn't even feel the urge to go out and buy some lysol to disinfect every surface (yes yes like I usually do...well ok I felt a tiny little urge to do it but I can proudly say I did not do it).
They have a choice between real down pillows or imitation, down comforter which was sandwiched between two sheets just the way I like it (can you imagine how many people have used and touched that comforter at those 'other hotels' before the hotel decided to wash it?... whereas a comforter sandwiched between sheets means, surely they wash the sheets after every guest right?), and finally another comforter on top of the down comforter which one can peel away.
It was quiet (to be expected as it is not on the strip and not connected to a casino), did not smell like cigarettes, and their service people were non intrusive.
The kitchen made me feel like buying groceries to cook, the washer/dryer made me feel like washing clothes! :P
If you don't mind walking to the strip (Mandalay Bay is right across the bridge), this is the place for you.
oh...and I got a discount...it was only $70 ...omg what a deal. I even liked this better than the Bellagio suite we stayed in a couple years ago.
The worse times to look for a place is always when you are out of town for a family event at the last minute. In this case, it was my father's passing that has me looking for a place in Las Vegas to stay during the funeral service.
My first option since I had a dog was always Residence Inn and this has served me well the past two times I visited family in Las Vegas. It provides a place for me to refresh with my partner without having to be in the same house with my family. But the last experience soured me on the place.
Then I checked out Staybridge on the last visit to see what type of place it was after discovering they allowed dogs for a pet cleaning fee less than Residence Inn (75 vs 100) non refundable. 25 bucks is still a big difference when you are trying to save your money. Of course, what a surprise on the visit that made my decision for me. Staybridge is relatively new but spacious and definitely a much better place than Residence Inn.
Breakfast area is bigger, food choice more abundant including waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuit and gravy. There were juices galore as well as soft drinks. I truly believed I hit the jackpot in this place.
First and foremost the cost was probably lower since its not peak season but what a price differnce from the RI which was charging me 127 vs 114 in Staybridge.
The small studio suite held newer appliances including the stainless steel dishwasher, refrigerator, flat panel tv. newer bathroom. I can recommend this for anyone interested in a hotel close to the strip without being in the strip. You can bring home food and reheat it later (incl microwave oven).
And yes the personnel were also friendly at every turn from the front desk, housekeeping and breakfast area. Food replenished during the breakfast period. Also a nice setting for breakfast.
The hotel might not be cheap for those looking for a really cheap hotel but for those travelling for family reasons like I did for Vegas, this is highly recommended to check out and see. It also has a nice outdoor pool (for the hot summers).
If you travel without a car, there is a shuttle to the strip at least upto MGM which would be useful for those who don't want to deal with traffic in the strip.
My husband and I travel 300 days per year, so we stay in hotels all the time. We stayed at this hotel for 3 months. When we originally came to Vegas we booked our extended stay at the Hilton Homewood suites. After being very unhappy with the size of the rooms and the rude staff we began to look else where for our 3 1/2 month stay. I came across the Staybridge suites and they were more than accommodating of our move. The sales manager upgraded us to a 850sqft suite with our own privet balcony, large sofa sectional, dinning room table and chairs, a full kitchen including an oven, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. All of the staff but one front desk worker were more than friendly and accommodating. The pool area is great with lots of lounge chairs and couches and privet areas to lay out. They also have a pretty impressive gym for a hotel gym. They also have free breakfast and dinner (dinner tues-thrus). The only thing this place is lacking that the homewood suites had is the shuttle service, their shuttle service stops at 10pm... who goes in at 10pm in Vegas?
