Good hotel for the price but....
I felt they should have had more people working at the check in so we didn't have to wait so long to get into our room. But the bag check was great and such a wonderful convenience and worked out great and was timely with no hassles at all (but don't wait in the line...just give your bags to one of the bell boys at the main entrance and they will take care of it...maybe just a $2 or $5 tip). The room was fantastic. We had the contemporary queen (renovated). Everything was very clean and fresh. The casino was a bit of a let down because it smelled quite a lot of smoke, but I wasn't that surprised because it is one of the cheaper hotels. I'm not a gambler at all so it didn't really bother me that much. The food court was great for snacks or a quick meal, but there were definitely better options at other hotels for a nice meal. The box office was awesome and such an easy way to get tickets. The reason I rated the pool so low was because of the hours. CLOSE AT 6PM :( What is that about???... With the weather in Vegas you would expect it to be open until at least 10pm. Overall it was a great experience and I love Vegas. The "but...." above was just that if I were to go back, I would pay a little bit more money and stay in a slightly better hotel.

Where Do I Go?
First- the room was nice- very nice bed, nice sitting area. Bathroom was up to date. Room was quiet. We were at the end of the hall and it was nice.
Now.... Where, really is the entrance to this place? The parking garage is across the street and there is poor signage to get you in to the checkin, which is as far as you can go from the entrance we found. Hmm, they make you drag bag all across the casino floor and there are no ramps! Nope, just steps to further lug your things. Then, of course, you have to lug them back to the elevators. Once inside-- good luck trying to find the door back to parking. I do not think there is a single sign. Not one! If I was that clairvoyant, I could sweep your gaming tables!!!
We did find the doors that dump directly to outside parking and ended up using that most of the time despite the heat. It was just faster.
Inside the room- I KNOW you want me to spend my money downstairs, but come on, is a coffee pot in the room going to make that much of a diff?
THe resort fee was, as I recall, 12.99 a day... for wired access. The wire did not make it over to that nice sitting area I mentioned. I guess I was just supposed to stand next to the TV and use the internet on a wire. Nope- used my phones wireless hotspot....and still paid the resort fee.
Some of this whining is about ALL the Vegas hotels, resort fees, etc. BUt this experience was worse than others. We will not go back to Excalibur...

It's not that our experience was bad...it just really failed to impress on all levels.
Everything was just overrated and overpriced and dirty to the point of not being a relaxing vacation. The buffet was a thirty minute wait and way over priced for what it was. We were not greeted for check in, instead I was being upsold on vegas shows and attractions while carrying five pieces of luggage. The casino was nice but as far as a kid friendly hotel The Excaliber certainly fails the air quality test!

I've had better....and I've had worse
The room was adequate, as all I was looking for was a place to put my head at night. Unfortunately, the room had only the most cursory of cleaning done. The Filters on the air-conditioner looked as if they had not been cleaned for months and I had to complain to get them dealt with.
The cleaning staff also never really went above and beyond, as was evidenced by the fact that wherever it was that I left the TV remote is where they left it when they cleaned, be that under a pillow on the bed, or knocked under the night stand (which aslo had month's worth of Dust build-up under it).
Finally, why in the HECK in this day and age does this hotel NOT offer Free Wi-Fi!!!!! When you have a smart phone and ipad/Tab, good luck getting any internet at this hotel, so shop around if this important to you.

Really liked the casino and shows.
Very disappointed in our room. Opened the curtain and our view was a concrete wall. My first time in Vegas and my view was horrible.

it's ok
The TV was broken, but it was fixed after my intervention. My bathroom were ugly, butI got used to. I went to Vegas from much better hotel, so first impression wasn't good. after three days the hotel wasn't a problem. It was even OK.
