Working on the strip makes me want to avoid it on my days off but we love getting away once in awhile for an overnight in town vacation. We love, love, love downtown! There is so much to do and see all within walking distance. The people watching is awesome and it has a cool variety of local people who are down to earth. Yes its loud and can be dirty but I love that. Its not the pristine overpriced world of the 5 star hotels and I'm happy to hang out and relax there. We stayed at the Fremont for the first time and I will absolutely stay there again! Keep in mind that its an old hotel and the rooms are small but they are clean and very comfy. Every employee we encountered was pleasant and accommodating. Loved our stay here!
