Staff at front desk was super nice. Bear in parking lot and outside our room all night making a ruckus and a mess which wasn’t anyone’s fault. Staff was out cleaning it up early. Older building and hard bed, flat pillows so need a little updating but great for a cheap place to lay your head!

This is a great budget friendly hotel! We have stayed here multiple times and we will do so again. It is not the newest but felt safe and clean. It is off the strip but was a 20 minute walk or trolly ride home from the aquarium.

This property was very poorly lit outside. When we checked in there was a roach on the floor and the bed sheets were covered in dog hair. I went and checked out immediately and asked for a refund. I had to submit a request for a refund and they acted as though I never checked out so I only got half my money back. I would NOT recommend this place .

Great stay

The rooms have been remodeled since we were there 3 yrs ago. Much cleaner and beautiful looking in rooms. Staff was great very easy to work with. Have a large truck with handycap thong on back hard to find parking. They made it accommodation for us to park easily.

Nothing works

Had to call for maintenance for microwave and heating. Bathtub didn’t drain well. In need of updates and repairs. They have policy that room has to have house keeping change sheets every day and if you have pets you must be there to take pet out of room while they are doing so. This is not mentioned until you have already paid for room. This is inconvenient because you don’t know when they will arrive to your room. Would not stay again.
