Between two and three stars. My flight arrived late and I didn’t want to spend $100+ a night for less than a few hours in a hotel room. This was the cheapest place in town for a Sat-Sun night stay, which was the day of the week when hotel rates in Vegas tend to be the most expensive. Upon walking into the reception area, my lungs started to ache. The gaming room for this property, where smoking is apparently allowed, surrounds the hotel reception area. The gaming area seemed to be slots only and was the kind of place that attracts people hooked up to oxygen machines. No real issues with check in. Know that if you book through a third party booking service, they will itemize the hotel resort fee on your receipt, but they shouldn’t charge it. They charge the hotel resort fee upon check in. I thought I was being double charged but the third party service I used for my reservation assured me that I wasn’t when I called them. This place was $50 a night (resort fee included) on a weekend, so I wasn’t expecting much. It was unexpectedly clean, which I really appreciated. Pretty typical ultra budget motel with fail design features (e.g., curtains too long and overlapping the air conditioner, so the cold air couldn’t diffuse into the room well. Caused the air conditioner to be barely able to keep up with the heat when the curtains are closed at night.) Motel rooms on the inside of the property surround a pool, so if you stay here more than a night, you may want to request a room facing the outside of the property to avoid the noise. (Or the inside if you like the pool.) Motel rooms could use an update but housekeeping does a great job of keeping what the property has clean. They are a bit aggressive about getting people out in the morning at check out time, but I get that check out time is what it is no matter when your flight gets in and they have to work. Again, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the rooms were and I hope the staff here are being paid well. There were shady characters hanging around the pathways of the hotel in the early morning hours. No issues with people loitering outside my room or anything though. The shower was clean and worked fine. The room had a fridge and TV but no in-room blow dryer. Room ventilation was very poor after a shower. Combined with the air conditioning issues, know that it can get uncomfortable in rooms after showering. Lots of fast food on the block where the hotel is located - Starbucks, In-and-Out, and 24-hour Jack in the Box. Definitely not my first choice in Vegas motels but it’s an okay option if you need ultra budget accommodations. Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for.
