PH Remodeled Rooms????

I am staying at PH next month, so I have been looking at some youtube videos of rooms. I noticed in one recent video of a Hollywood Hip Queen room a new TV in room, and a TV in the Bathroom.

I have reserved a resort room. Are there new TV's in these rooms also? Did they do anything else like new mattresses, etc.

 

I've only stayed in the Resort and Panoramic and they both had LCDs. I bet almost all of the rooms have newer TVs.

 

All of the rooms I've had at PHo recently have had LCD tvs. None of the rooms I've stayed in have been updated beyond that. My complaint is that all the rooms are dark, as in no good lighting. The bathrooms are generally rather nice for standard rooms.

 

I've been to PH twice in the past year, in February it appeared the room had new bedding (it was a Mountain or Resort room I believe). But that was all I noticed. Last year in August it was only brown blankets no bedspreads (hollywood hip). Which I remember thinking was weird. They all have flat screen TVs. Neither had a TV in the bathroom.

The rooms don't exactly need updating though...they aren't super outdated.

 

Here is the video showing the newer Tv's including one in bathroom

The Tv's look newer than the flat screens I saw on my last trip.

 

Ask for the 23rd floor for your resort room if they have it. I can't remember my room number, but it was at the end of the bit sticking out of the front on the south end and had a great view down the strip:

Some of them are a bit nicked up in terms of unrepaired damage to furniture, walls, etc., but better than CET's Section 8 offerings north of Flamingo Ave. Their Metropolis IL hotel in the middle of nowhere has much better standard rooms than every single Vegas CET standard room (counting Roman Tower at Caesars Palace as standard level). I would be embarrassed to offer Roman Tower rooms which haven't been touched since Hagler vs. Hearns (1985 for non boxing fans) at a "4 1/2 Star" property, considering all other rooms range from decent to excellent.

Rather than dropping a billion on "The Linq" and the "Bally's Outdoor Shopping Bazaar", they should have cleaned up their rooms from Harrah's to PHo and Roman Tower rooms to partially justify charging a resort fee for actual resort quality rooms.

From the look of that youtube video, it appears this is a hollywood hip 2 queen connector room on one of the 2 Penthouse level floors. I am guessing due to the ceiling height, which is alot higher than the standard room, the upgraded items, and from the view looking out the window. The IHome clock radio is different so are the LCD tv's and lack of big armoir. I recently was in a resort room at the end of April and it was the same as it had been without any changes.

 

Thanks EZ369. Your explanation makes sense.

No matter where I stay, I always spend at least some time at PH. It is not amazing in any category, but it is above average in most categories. And for me, the dining is not too fancy or not too lowbrow for my tastes. You gotta love Earl of Sandwich with its good inexpensive food, Planet Dailies is a very good coffee shop restaurant with good value, and one of my new favorites is BurGR....And, of course, if you go into the mall Blondies is fun and has good food.

 

Room Remodel

I agree, especially the Roman Tower rooms. Maybe once the Linq disaster is complete they can upgrade what they already have let go way past their prime.

 

The rooms are completely fine at PH, no need to worry about it!
