text: This former Holiday Inn, former Blackstone Inn is now the \"Baymont Inn & Suites.\" It's fine. It looks and feels exactly like a Holiday Inn only a little patched up because of the typical rowdy Las Vegas guests. It's only one-mile from the strip but there's an awesome strip mall with some nice and cheap restaurants a block away. \n\nThe room had a king-sized bed, 36-inch HDTV and an AC unit. The bathroom was large and clean. The showers were perfectly hot and had great shower head flow. I kept the blinds down my entire stay because it faced the pool so no nice view to mention.\n\nThis is pretty much a no-nonsense hotel that cost me $69.19 per night including taxes and $7.99 daily resort fee which also included wi-fi and a continental breakfast each morning. Good deal considering it was the weekend of the Pacquiao/Marquez IV fight. I did reserve this room about three weeks earlier on Priceline so that may have helped with the low room rate. There were cheaper hotels but they were much farther from the strip. Next time I stay in Vegas, this place will receive significant consideration in regards to its value.\n\nThe restaurant I visited was:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz/mr-beijing-las-vegas#query:blackstone%20hotel\n\nIt's only a five-minute walk from the hotel!
