“UNfreakingBELIEVABLE!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010

This is my experience so far.

Stayed at The Aruba for a week in early December. Stay was OK, people were nice enough, place is a dump...but what do you expect for a incredibly low prices on that part of LV Blvd.

Anyway, this is the good part. Two weeks after I checked out the hotel charged me for two extra weeks. I called them to correct the error...they said they would look into it. I called again...they said the need to check with accounting. I called again...they said my bank was closed for the holidays and it will be there after the 1st. I called my bank which was open...my bank told me it's a simple credit on the machine and there is no reason for them to even contact the machine. I called the Aruba again...told them it was a simple credit on machine and I said the manger Michael lied to me....he did in fact lie to me...he told me my bank was closed and that he needed to contact them. Michael then took the professional approach of hanging up on me and telling me to call back with a different attitude. I called back and Michael "wasn't there". If I get money back, I will update this and say that they at least did that. However, this is the worst I have ever been treated by a business in my life. That money is unbelievably important to me right now...I guess that's important to their behavior but it's making it that much more frustrating for me.

Sorry, just had to vent. feeling somewhat helpless at the moment. It's going to suck for everyone if I have to back to Vegas to straighten this out.

Bad part of Vegas, reviews were very misleading. The elevator was broken and supposedly the key machine was broken as well. We had to have maintenance open our room for us. Shady area.. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Creepy little motel....

“Worst customer service I've seen in 18 years!”

Room was supposed to have blow dryer and coffee maker. Had neither. No room service the first day not even clean towels. Took 10 hours and 5 calls to front office before we got clean towels. No room service 2nd or 3rd day. Every time we went to office, no one was there or they were hiding! No hot water on last morning.

“Vegas's Hidden Treasure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2009

GREAT PLACE TO STAY! Las Vegas’ hidden treasure! The staff at the Aruba was incredibly accommodating and helpful. The manager Raj was so friendly and welcoming. The setting at the Aruba is perfect for a romantic getaway. Just hop, skip, and a jump off the main strip, the Aruba’s location can’t be beat. Great prices, clean rooms, romantic atmosphere, and top of the line spa treatments are just a few of the delights the Aruba has to offer. No need to venture to the main strip when you have the Thunderbird lounge in the hotel lobby. The drinks in the Thunderbird lounge were generous portioned and reasonably priced. A great group of locals hang out in the Thunderbird lounge, complete with local talent for entertainment. In the room, beds were comfy and the room was cozy. Beautiful sights and friendly faces welcome you at the Aruba. Don’t miss Vegas’ best kept secret!
