| - Very enjoyable stay at the Fremont Hotel and Casino.
We stayed for 5 nights in August and had a great vacation. It was my first trip Downtown, and I was warned at how small the hotel room was, and it's true. However, for the amount of time we were in the room, the size didn't really matter. The room was in need of a little TLC, there was a spot with loose wallpaper, but other than that, everything was clean, neat, and in working order.
The bed and other furnishings were very comfortable and perfectly adequate for a room of that size. Housekeeping did a fabulous job of keeping the room clean and stocked with towels.
The room had a flat panel HDTV with your typical cable channels, and a small safe was on the wall just inside the door.
The best part about the room was the air conditioner, which worked famously for the August heat! Absolutely no complaints there.
The shower head is a bit low for those who are taller (My sweetie is 6'3"), but water pressure and hot water were plentiful. The bathroom sink has a very small bit of counter space, and I mean S M A L L. But I managed to get all of my girlie stuff up on the shelf above it with no problem. If you travel like the Kardashians, you are probably S.O.L in that department.
Check in was quick and the clerk was friendly. I redeemed my B-Connected card at the Players Club desk with no wait.
The casino itself is well stocked with a ton of slot machines, and I was pleasantly surprised with how not smoky the casino was, since I heard that the ventilation downtown wasn't as good as on the strip. Not so, in my opinion. I am a non-smoker and I was never once repulsed by the stench of smoke in this, or any other casino downtown for that matter (Except Mermaids, that place is disgusting). A great bonus is location, location, location! You can walk across the street to Binions, The D, and Golden Nugget in no time at all. (Hash House is just down the street at the Plaza, which is a MUST when staying in Vegas)
The food choices were great! Dunkin Donuts, Lanai Express, Rocky Mountain Chocolate, and the best one.... Second Street Grill- which is truly a hidden gem. (I have a separate review for it). Now, I must say that the Paradise Buffet is mediocre at best, but there are far worse buffets around. (We had free buffets for length of stay, so it wasn't too bad)
Friendly staff, clean, neat, comfortable rooms, great casino in a fabulous location, awesome food... what more could you ask for in a $32/night room?
We have another trip planned for early November, and I'm sure we'll enjoy it just as much as we did in August.
