The room itself was clean and the staff I interacted with were kind, which I truly appreciated. However, as a solo female traveler, I did not feel safe staying at this property. The surrounding area felt uncomfortable, and the room door did not fully secure, which added to my concern. I ended up checking out shortly after arriving because I did not feel that the environment was safe for me to remain overnight. I explained this to the owner and asked if I could be refunded for the night I would not be using. Unfortunately, my request was declined, which was disappointing. While this property may be suitable for some travelers, I would not recommend it for women traveling alone or for those looking for a secure, peaceful stay. The location and lack of security features were ultimately dealbreakers for me.

I would stay again for good price

So I will say that the first impression of this place is creepy. But I will say that the room although it was a bit small was clean and comfortable and had everything that I needed for my stay. I didn't have any problems and no one bothered me. For the price I would definitely stay here again when I'm looking for a cheap Las Vegas stay. If you are looking for a luxury Las Vegas experience do not book this motel. But if you are wanting a clean comfortable place on a budget I would definitely recommend this place.

I wanted somewhere low cost, with parking and no resort fee, no mention of bugs etc. This place is in a run down area, you check in via a window after ringing a camera doorbell. Check-in was easy, the room was clean, no bugs I could see at all. Everything hing worked so for what I needed I would use it again . The guy is friendly, prompt and does a good job with what he has.

The room is basic but totally perfect for the price and location. Not that the surrounding area doesn't have its challenges, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. There are multiple restaurants, 7-Elevens, and a Starbucks very close. Several good Mexican restaurants and trucks. There is a poor and homeless population in the area but we didn't have any issues. It was quiet at night and we slept well No coffee in the room, no dishes of any sort. There is a microwave, an induction cooktop, and a small refrigerator. Plenty of food delivery options. It worked well for us.

Vintage & Charming Motel Experience

We booked this motel the day we arrived after finding it on Hotels.com. We were looking for a reasonably priced room on a Saturday night and appreciated that the Desert Moon has free parking and did not charge a bunch of extra service fees, beyond the refundable $50 damage deposit. The Desert Moon provided us with a charming and traditional Motel experience. It's in a quiet location on Fremont Street in the older part of Las Vegas. The area just a few blocks from the Motel is vibrant and full of great restaurants and nightlife, and of course, the Fremont Street Experience. The room was well kept, freshly renovated and everything worked. We didn't happen to use the kitchenette, but on a longer stay would find it most useful. The staff was friendly, responsive and helpful.

Its not far from the strip. Room was nothing like the pictures. Jacuzzi didn't work properly, so we couldn't use it even after we cleaned it. The bathroom smelled like mildew. Not enough washclothes and towels provided without asking for them. Overall i would never stay there again, from management to the property everything needs an upgrade

Great place to stay

Good hotel, seems like a typical Las Vegas motel on the outside. Great staff, clean room. Kitchenette a big plus and only about a mile from major downtown attractions.

The quality of the motel is about as expected for the rate during EDC weekend, but the service was fantastic. The front desk man was very kind and helped us into our room when we forgot our room key once. They also shipped my dresses back to me that I had forgotten after checking out and driving back home. There was quite a bit of dirt on the tile floor when we first arrived, but that was the only drawback I can think of, not sure it was entirely avoidable either, considering the door led directly to ground level outside. Overall stay was exactly as we needed for our weekend!

Disappointed with Hotel.com

The outside looks rundown. Upon entering the parking area I said to the Lyft driver “Lord, I hope the inside looks better than the outside.” Upon stopping the car a woman opened the car door and she started talking, interrupting our conversation and she would not stop talking. I could see my driver getting upset and she apologized to me for the nonstop talking. I thanked the driver for the ride and got out of the car and she immediately made a U turn and was leaving. I got her attention and she stopped so that I could get my suite cases from her car. She left and the woman who was nonstop talking turned to me and said “I would never leave you, with that comment made to me I turned and walked to the office. I was able to get my room key and entered the room and it was reasonably suitable. I left the room to get ice and turned to the left and there were two women standing just outside their rooms just standing there. I returned to my room and evaluated the situation. The place outside is rundown, I would not be outside the room after dark, for a tourist there is nothing to see or do. There is a 7-11 store two blocks away in each direction and that is it. The room fee is $100.00 per day and I was booked for two nights. In Feb. when I reserved it that was not the charge. I explained to the office guy that is not how it is done. He said I could discuss it later with the owners. I stayed the night and left very very early.
