"Decided to go to Las Vegas last minute to watch the Chelsea game at Allegiant Stadium and was in need of accommodation for just myself, which can be pricey. I tried finding a solution that fit my budget but also that wasn't sketchy. Delicate balance in Vegas.. Surprisingly, I landed on Ellis Island. The room rate was definitely acceptable for a motel-style place, so I decided to book. Little did I know, what a gem of a place this ended up being. I arrived about an hour and a half before check-in time and was told I could check in early for an additional $10. Done! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Parking is free here, just put the tag in your windshield. The room itself looked fairly renovated, had USB charger plugs next to the bed and at the desk, and also has a fridge. The carpet still felt fluffy, the room smelled fresh and the bathroom was all tiled and clean. They also provided some toiletries and ample towels. The room came with a coupon for a free coffee and donut. While I don't drink coffee, I did went to go get the donut and OMG that Italian sandwich bar is such a treasure! Forget about all the reviews mentioning the steak; instead go get yourself a Parma Ham Sandwich and a Nutella Donut! I didn't try any of the other food options due to a lack of time, but I hope to be back. PS: No five stars because their resort fee was almost $35 which I find to be a tad excessive for a place like this. It's not like they have five luxury pools with cabanas and a DJ hosting parties, so not sure what the $35 is for. Other than that, great stay!"
