For various reasons, we were unable to stay at a hotel on "The Strip" this trip to Las Vegas. I have been downtown before and while I like Fremont Street, some of the hotels in the area have a reputation for being mediocre and even "trashy". I was pleased to stay at the Hotel California. It appeared that the room... More

I had read several mixed reviews about The Cal before I booked the rooms. I spoke with a girl a the front desk named Erlinda before I booked. She was very helpful and patient with all my questions. They do not allow the front desk to make any promises before you show up, but she gave me some great tips.... More

I stayed for three nights during the CES convention (busiest time during the entire year for Las Vegas). The hotel is within 2 blocks of the Fremont Experience and the SDX bus stop. Although there are a couple of homeless people walking around in the neighborhood (the same can be said for all the hotels in the area), the hotel... More

Pros: the price is right, although a fellow visitor told me to try the 4 Queens for value. Room was clean, a problem with housekeeping was resolved professionally. Editorial comment: Hawaii people, you have to complain if there's a problem. Don't be so nice. You'll just prolong the problem. Staff attentive. Good location, near Fremont Experience. Good place for Hawaii... More

This hotel is the place to stay if you are getting a good room price with benefits. It is convenient location to freeway, transit, Main Street and the Fremont Experience. Not far from the strip. If you miss Hawaii, they appeal to the "locals" with reasonable prices and food. Good security and friendly staff. For accommodations and value, there are... More

Not too fancy but nice hotel within walking distance to all the downtown hotels and the Fremont Street Experience. Connected by an enclosed walkway to the Main Street Hotel. Contains several small shops and a few restaurants. The rooms were pretty clean with a nice decor but could have the TVs upgraded to flat monitor ones. No free Wi-Fi. Contains... More

The Cal is Hawaii's home away from home and thousands of us can't be wrong. Vacations Hawaii makes it affordable for seniors like myself and the Boyd properties have some of the best employees on staff. Try finding superb customer service on the Strip. For a while we strayed thinking it was better doing everything on our own and staying... More

Met family from Hawaii there for an event. First issue was front desk person did not know how to check me in. Don't know how long she had worked there. Took over 40 mins. to check in. Got my room wrong, said I would have a smoking room as non-smoking was not available, even though my reservation was for non-smoking.... More

This is a hard review for me because the week before, I was in Cancun and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton which I gave 5 stars to. Anyways, hopefully not to bias but this hotel is adequate. It was clean, the air-conditioner worked fine. The location, downtown was great, you could walk to any downtown casino. You could also catch a... More
