I will be in town March 15-19th. I am considering staying at the casillo or the sl. The price for a deluxe room at castillo is the same as a regular room(queen) at sl(courtyard). I am wondering which is a better choice. For the large room (king size bed)at sl is only $30.00 more but is the room much bigger? Very hard to tell by the pictures. 2 months ago I stayed at the dunn inn. It was a very nice hotel, but want to try something else.

I would consider the room at the SL. I love the one stop shopping they have - bar, restaurant, sports, more women coming and going than any place I've seen other then the HDR, and they exchange money. And although if you stay in the courtyard you will get a lot of noise from the bar area, they shut it down completely at midnight and don't reopen until 8AM so it's quiet as a church mouse for those 8 hours.

I concur with K-Pax...mostly. I agree about the one stop shopping at SL as I am a lazy SOB...but the noise in the courtyard? Don't believe it stays quiet until 8a.m....it doesn't.

You get what you pay for.

If you can afford it. Stay in the Manison at SL.

What the hell you only live once enjoy it!

OK, I'm not experienced with the courtyard rooms, I always stay in the Mansion wing and it's pretty quiet back there unless I'm having a Metallica Jam session with a few chicas late at night.
