I stayed at TI during a convention I attended at the hotel, and I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised. Having stayed at some questionable hotels on the strip in my youth, for some reason I'd always grouped TI in with the hotels I'd be better off avoiding on personal trips. The rooms were actually very nice, if a little dated. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were large, and everything was clean and well maintained. It's easy to get around the strip from here, too. After this stay, it's on my radar for future trips.
