But don't expect much more than a sparse room. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r1082018 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426698 Hotel was above a club which was very, very loud. The room was very spacious, but dingy, sort of like a cheap, sleazy motel. Room smelled like cigarettes!! A huge hole in the bathroom door (a fist print?) Bed very squeaky!!!! Locale very scary. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426698 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r457867 this hotel was probably nice back in the day, but now it is really run down. just to get in to the room we had pull the handle up hard and the down fast or you are not getting in to your room.the bar is seedy,as are the patrons that hang out there. the hotel it's self is located in the bad area.I would not stay here unless I had to. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r457867 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r321944 I lived at the Thunderbird in 1997. The hotel has some of the best balconies that look out onto the strip that I have ever seen. I haven't traveled in years because I have a dog who is not accepted by most hotels. Now that I know the Thunderbird's pet policy, I will travel to Vegas soon. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r321944 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426699 I was there alone for the 1st night. I went to take a walk to find something to eat and was scared senseless. Not a place to stay for young females. Room was clean but looked like they remodeled the rooms themselves. O.k. for the price and in Vegas you're not in your room a lot anyway. Not close to any other hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426699 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517301 I saw the website a couple of years ago and booked a room based on the rate, pictures, and phony ratings. This is not a place to stay unless you are looking for a super cheap, super dirty motel with police activity and hourly rates. We weren't even able to get into the room as the keys didn't work, and stayed in another hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517301 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426700 For the price, the Aruba is a good hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful but the rooms are outdated even though they've just been remodeled. Tile floor with no rugs (cold); very few electrical outlets; one lamp didn't work; walls are thin (heard neighbor's TV very clearly). http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r426700 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517302 This was a couple years back, but if I can warn one person..... We had booked it for the good value and a halfway point on our way back from Disneyland. It was in a bad part of town, with ladies out on the sidewalk across the street inviting people in to see the show. The lobby was ok, but the room was gross. We wouldn't even let our kids take their shoes off because everything was that gross and dirty - the carpet, the bathroom etc. (I'd never before had any worry in my life about being pricked by a drug needle, but I had that worry here. Whether there were any - I don't know, but I was actually concerned about it.) We were debating whether to stay or not, and my wife decided to check the mattress as her deciding factor. Our overall impression was that they were rooms usually rented by the hour. We didn't stay, and thankfully the front desk didn't give us any hassle about getting our money back. I don't even remember if we found another place or if we just drove another 6 hours to sleep in our own beds. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517302 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517303 Rooms look nice. Staff is friendly. Now for the bad stuff. The facility looks like a motel. The lobby has been redone and is nice. Several guests had things wrong with the rooms: thermostat not working (no heat); light bulbs out, toilet out, room keys not working and one elevator went out. Nightlife can be loud and linger on into the morning in the parking lot. We missed our flight because a cab didn't come to the hotel for 1 1/2 hours. The night before cab didn't show up so we caught the bus to a show. The internet is only available if the owner "signs" in. Can't print boarding passes because the printer is not hooked up. Beware. You have to pay for your entire stay at check in. That's because you'd probably leave. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517303 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517304 First the hotel is nowhere near the strip. There was Police tape on one of the rooms there. When we first got in our room, it was seriously around 120 degrees in our room. The wall AC did not work at all. I went for a swim and the pool was filthy. The shower fixtures were covered in dust and after I took a shower, there was a bug in my hair. Also there was a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor. Need I say more? We did not even stay that night, we went to another hotel on the strip. For the love of God, don't stay here!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Aruba_Hotel/r517304
