There is NO redeemable value for this dump. Staying at a homeless shelter has to be a more accommodating & a healthier experience. It's dark, dank and nasty, loaded with deferred maintenance. The tub, the sink, the furniture, the beds, the mattress, the linens, the towels ALL were below any standards known to mankind. If fact, there are no standards... More

I stayed there for New Years, by far it was the worst experience. First when we arrived they didn't had any record of my reservation, then the guy in the front desk didn't know what to do or how to check it (even though I had my reservation printed and a confirmation of the payment). He kept calling somebody to... More

First of all, the hooker by the front door kinda gave it away that this was not a 4 star hotel. Then, the drug dealers at the top of the third floor clinched it. If you came to vegas to get a hooker and drugs, then this is the place for you. We were so scared we ran away as... More

The pictures I saw online were very misleading...this place is a total dump! I checked in, stopped at the bar to get a drink, and was served by the most unbearable, stuck up bartender who didn't even get my drink right. After seeing how completely FILTHY my room was, I couldn't even stay there. I should have checked the reviews... More

We were dropping off relatives, who were vacationing from overseas, to this so-called hotel. But I realized that they weren't going to be safe here after looking at their room. First of all, the elevator at this place was a metallic death trap, that had a broken air conditioning unit and was 10 degrees hotter than the outside temperature. When... More
