I have never stayed on this end of town before but I was pleasantly surprised. My friend had a hook up for a timeshare so this is where we had to go. The hotel is located at the end of Fremont street which makes it super convenient to go there. Hotel is old but nicely renovated inside. Casino smells a bit smoky but guest rooms and hallways smelled very fresh. Room was pretty clean. Beds were comfy but definitely not the high end sleepers found in other hotels like the Marriott.
The only downsides: we kept hearing a whizzing all night. Thought maybe it was the Fremont zip line (who the hell zips at 3 am, oh yeah, it's Vegas LOL) but we think it was the wind whipping through the side of the hotel as our room was by the stairs. Room was clean but our hairdryer had red lipstick smeared all over it, ewwww! And I'll forego making bad jokes about lipstick and blowdryers! Ha! And the dresser top has some staining and chipping and the finish was coming off. It was really obvious because it was a very light wood. Not a big deal. They offer a late checkout (4pm) for an extra $22 bucks that was well worth it. Staff was friendly. I'd stay here again, no complaints.
