Cosmopo Terrace Studio v Encore Tower Suites

[ocam]

I know the Cosmo v Encore thing has been done to death, so I'm not asking for a comparison between the 2 hotels generally.

I'm wondering whether anyone has actually stayed in a Terrace Studio and what their thoughts on it are? If someone has stayed in a Terrace Studio and an Encore room, I'd appreciate your thoughts on which you preferred.

I've currently got a room booked in the Encore Tower Suites, but have the chance to get a terrace studio (2x queens) for a good price. I was looking on the Marriott site, but it doesn't say whether the room is a fountain or non-fountain view (but judging by the price it is likely to be non-fountain side). Because I'll be there over a holiday weekend, it will probably be hard to use a sandwich to upgrade room/to fountain view.

I would stay @ cosmo .

The terrace studios are nice, I stayed in one last week, however it was the 1 king bed version. the balcony really does alot for the room imo.

I have never stayed in one of the studios with 2x queens, but I think they are all in the west tower, which gives you a better chance at getting a fountain view, give the sandwich a try !

Ive probably stayed @ cosmo around 20 or so times, the key to getting the fountain view is to check in as early as possible, around 11am - noonish when everyone is checking out. If they don't have it available, tell them you would be happy to wait for a room with fountain view to open up.....and go have lunch at Henry.... and wait for them to call you.

I have had 100% success doing this, one time i waited like 4 hours.... but the fountain view is totally worth it

I would stay in the Tower Suite, especially if you plan to party on that end of the strip.
