It’s an older, smaller property, but they have done a great job remodeling the rooms. Minimal amenities, but terrific price.

I had a great experience at this property. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. You have a stove top, pots/pans/plates/ect, a full refrigerator, microwave, and a very comfortable bed. I have back issues when sleeping on a crappy bed, but it was very comfortable. It may not seem like the best area, but no one so much as looked at or spoke to me when I walked around. I came back late at night and was never concerned. Its a small distance to food, but I just picked something up on my way back to the room (there are a couple of restaurants .02 miles away and a ton on the way back fro Fremont Experience which is .09 miles away). I even had a family issue back home and had to leave 4 days early, they even gave me a full refund for the days I didnt stay and no problems with getting my security deposit back. This is a great place to stay, you do sacrifice some locational convienance for more comfort. Many places dont have a fridge and there are no hotels I know of that have a microwave, let alone a stove top and everything else. It was clean and well kept. You can tell that the owners put alot heart into it. Their staff was friendly, helpful, and goes the extra mile for you. I read some crappy reviews before coming, but I saw how engaged ownership is and decided to look past them. I will say I am glad I stay at this motel, rather than at the casinos. I do plan to stay here again next time I come to Vegas.

All round great property within walking distance of the Fremont experience. Very nostalgic feeling of old vegas. There was a homeless encampment at the end of the block but seemed to not have any affect on the hotel.

Its a motel thats ran by a family, so they're always there if you need anything. They were super polite, and its not a bad if you're just looking for a place to stay for a night. Other than that its a pretty sketchy area, so you get what you pay for, but other than that everything else was ok.

We were late at check but being greeted by your warm smiles and bright personality put us at ease. The room was awsome. We were impressed with the kitchenette. The single electric cook top, mini-fridge, commercial style sprayer for the sink, and microwave. All made staying there A LOT less stressful. The rainfall shower was a definite joy after sweating while walking down to and from the Fremont Experience. The location and price fit well into our last minute budget. We definitely will return. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Scam rating and photos

Shocked at what I saw after seeing the photos on the app and such a high rating! Looked and felt like s horror movie Feels like a scam and hotels.com seems to be involved or fine with the lies and misdirection of the rating and photos. Old,broken and stained chairs , horrible smell of mold that was so intense you get headaches. It could not have been worse.

The Desert Moon, an independent motel, stands out from it competitors with its renovated rooms and the diligence of the owners, who live onsite, to ensuring guests are safe and taken care of. Don’t let the location put you off - it has improved greatly in the past ten years and being a stones throw from Downtown, the Desert Moon is a hidden gem. I will be back!

Wonderful owner, horrible location

Owner/staff was excellent. She was very attentive and answered all my questions. Hotel is in a terrible part of town, constant police sirens, loud motorcycles trucks and even a police helicopter. Hotel would do in a pinch, but if you’re looking for a really comfortable place to stay, I could not recommend this place simply because of the location.
