Was ok and they were patient with me and gave me a newnroom after giving me a room that was not clean and reeked of smoke. They gave me a new room that was fine.
My wife and I loved the jungle room. If you're looking for old school Vegas kitsch and flair this is the room for you. Beyond being aesthetically cool, the room was extremely clean and the shower and jacuzzi were incredible. The service far surpassed the service we had downtown for a fraction of the cost. They'll treat you like family. They even left a bouquet, roses, and cake for my wife and I's honeymoon. Needless to say, we will be back for our anniversary! We cannot speak more highly about this place.
Wonderful, better than motel6 or super 8! You can even cook here. Only one thing-they don’t provide hair dryer in the room. Definitely safer, quieter, cleaner than expected.
The only problem I had here was that there was a road block nearby and the price was mad high. Cozy little room perfect for a single guest or couple, very clean. Gotta get your ice from by the front. Property is much cleaner than many that I have stayed on. Towels smelled wonderful after I showered. They also have smart tvs so if you got the streaming logins they have a way for you to enjoy all your favorite shows and pick up where you last binged.
Room was clean and very spacious. Location was great. No loud noise at night or during the day, like you would get staying on the strip. Check-in was a breeze. Hospitality was great. I would stay again. Free parking also.
Beautifully restored motel in an historic part of downtown Las Vegas. Rooms are fantastic and the owners have made it friendly and safe. The area is under revitalization and is not fully rebuilt yet so there are some unique individuals on the streets but also many tourists walking between the hotel and the Fremont experience. I felt it was safe and interesting, but a $3 Uber ride would get you downtown without having to walk. The front desk was extremely helpful in explaining all about visiting downtown Las Vegas.
Absolutely awesome stay here, the parking is a little difficult but the room was fantastic. Great bed, has a small stove, microwave, and refrigerator. Would stay again for nearby events.
It’s too good ! I really wanted to gate-keep this place because I wanted it to be there whenever I needed it! I really hope they don’t increase the prices because the value is phenomenal!!!! They will forever have my loyalty, I had a stay booked at another hotel and just decided to come back here!! NO resort fees! Deposit was $50! I got my deposit back within a DAY of leaving. I love them so much, the rooms are upgraded and cute! I will provide pictures soon. Yes it’s in a “bad area” but at the end of the day I haven’t had no problems!
Lively hub with long-established casinos & chic cocktail bars, plus the 24-hour Fremont Street mall.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
