The hotel is clean and well-maintained unfortunately there is a significant amount of construction going on right now around the hotel on the street but it really did not interfere with our ability to get around. All of the staff is friendly and accommodating. The rooms are large and newly renovated but are not full of amenities such as in room coffee makers. Parking is free which is a huge plus and if you park on the third floor of the parking garage you have easy access to the elevator to take you to your room. There are plenty of places to eat and get drinks throughout the hotel and casino including a McDonald's a Mexican restaurants and sandwich shop. Within a few steps across the street you are on old Fremont Street which is filled with shops and bars restaurants clubs anything you would want to do. If you want to go to the strip it's not very far roughly expect a $20-$30 taxi ride. UBER just started in Las Vegas and is far less expensive. We were very pleasantly surprised by staying downtown this trip instead of at the fancy humongous hotels on the strip it was a nice break where we still had a lot of fun and it wasn't so chaotic.
