At a usual weeknight price of around $30, and being on Boulder Highway, you could be forgiven for assuming the hotel here would be a shitfest. I was brave and explored on two different nights, however, and I am pleased to report they actually do a pretty good job keeping this place up and the clientele seems to mostly be harmless tourists and not tweakers.
Rooms are clean, look like they had a basic renovation in spots not that long ago, come with a mini-fridge. Free coffee in the lobby all day, and they have a couple washers-dryers on the first floor of the hotel area too; VERY rare for a casino-hotel! Free decent wifi w/ no resort fee. Only really big downside is that the walls are paper thin. I've invested in a good portable white noise machine specifically for places like this though, where the room is good and the only problem is Neighbor Noise due to construction issues they can't control. At least there's no conjoining doors here.
Casino is a smokey little local's dive if you are into that. The little diner has great old-school meal deals.
Walking distance to 24h Walmart Supercenter and a handful of small restaurants such as a Tommy's. Eastside Cannery right across the street and Sam's Town is a very doable walk (tho I wouldn't go for it after dark).
