I've never been to Fremont street and I thought I would try this place out on my latest trip to Vegas. I was not disappointed. This place doesn't have the opulence of a fine hotel on the Strip (Palazzo, Aria, etc) but it was far from a Motel 6 like hotel. The bathrooms were well decorated and clean, though I would have liked a bathtub in addition to the shower. The beds were comfortable, though some may find them a bit firm, and the extra space in the sofa area was nice. I stayed in a premium King corner room and enjoyed the view and overall decor of the room. At about $29 a night, not including the $20 per night resort fee, this was a good value. The only real complaint I had was the lack of central air, they instead had a wall mounted A/C that was a bit louder than I would prefer but no so loud that it was annoying or bothersome.
With the disappointing trend of casino's on the Strip charging higher and higher resort fee's and charging for parking, the lower cost of resort fees here and the free parking make The D hotel a very nice alternative to the budget minded traveler.
