Disliked: Staff & service
The room conditions were acceptable except the flooring felt dirty. The overall feeling of the room was that it was dirty. Other guests and their dogs were extremely noisy throughout the night and early in the morning. There is not enough parking compared to the number of rooms. There is an adjacent lot for the restaurant next door but there is a no parking tow away sign, yet the front desk suggested we park there anyway. There are better options further up on Fremont Street, spend the extra $50 and try those. Unfortunately for us we booked too late and our usual spots were fully booked. Lesson learned.

Great service. Love the people that work here. So nice and polite. Always sold out during the week. Make reservations early. Met a nice older couple here ( JoAnn and Charles) we both agreed it was a wonderful hotel.

Had to easy time checking in there was ample parking. We found the room to be average probably for what we paid for it. It. My wife pulled out a stand that she dropped something behind, and there was dirt and bugs behind it with that being said, I would say that it smelt clean and the bed was comfortable.

Clean Safe and very Comfy!

very comfortable bed & clean room. the staff was very friendly and accommodating as I arrived before check-in time, but badly needed a nap! So they let me check-in early. So nice to have found a clean, comfy & affordable place to stay in an otherwise expensive area.
