Staff was excellent and the space was super cute, plenty of places to just sit and vibe, and a full bar which was an excellent touch. The only problem we really had was that it was inly heating available in the room, making it unbearably hot in the room at times, if they fixed the heating/air problem this place this place is amazing.

Room and motel on the edge of \"old\" Vegas was good but also what we expected. Some ragged-looking people in the neighborhood but experienced no problems and across-the-street parking was convenient.
Shower was a very gentle rain. Lobby staff very nice.

The staff were nice. But this hotel seriously lacked some basic amenities. First of all, no elevators. Then there are certain ports which don’t work, and I had to charge my phone near to the bathroom. This hotel provides parking at the public parking which is not ideal when it rains.

You had to check yourself in twice because there was a person working in the bar and the front desk. You gave him your credit card and your license and then he pointed you over to the kiosk to do the same thing and you had to make your own key there.

Furthermore they were not friendly when we checked in and especially checked out. They not greet us or say thank you for staying with us.

The bed only had cheats for us to use no comforter on top so it was pretty cold at night.

The only nice thing is that the room is pretty clean and location is good. There is no AC. Amenities fees are not optional even when you're not using their tiny gym or the silly minigolf. Room is not at all soundproof and you can be woken up by car sound or shenanigans happening on the street at 5am.

I wouldn’t stay here again.
The property itself looks freshly remodeled, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The mini-golf area was also very clean and well-designed — definitely a highlight. The location and parking are fine except lots of narcs and homeless people around.

Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
Our room was quite small and had a strong cigarette smell, which we tried to cover with perfume and even bought scented candles to make it bearable. The bathroom window looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months — covered in dust and some mold. The shower cabin was modern and clean overall, but there was noticeable mold around the door frame. The floors weren’t terrible but clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned either.

Overall, it felt like the place had potential but wasn’t maintained well

Upon arriving...was a little skeptical about our stay. The outside looks a bit \"run down\", but the inside is much better than the outside appearance. We were greeted by a welcoming staff of 1, lol, and since we arrived earlier than check-in... he was nice enough to let us go to our room. I guess he was feeling nice that day because he also waved the early check-in fee. 😃👍
Now mind you, this is a small \"boutique\" hotel so when you walk into the courtyard it's open and the rooms are situated around it. When you first walk thru, there is a small sitting area and unfortunately there's no food service there... but they do have a small decently stocked bar that is open 24hrs! 😁👍🙌. The rest of the courtyard is a small putt-putt golf course with a concrete fire pit in the middle and a couple of picture worthy spots.
Once in the room, we were pleased to see that it was cute, and nicer than expected. You can tell they spent more time making the rooms pretty rather than focusing on the outside aesthetics, lol. But we all know that is most important, lol. 😁👍
The bed was comfy and clean as well as the bathroom area accommodating. Water pressure could've been a little better, but not terrible, lol.
Location was great in that it is only a few blocks from Freemont street and all the activities there. Lots of places to check out within walking distance.
Overall, our stay there was quite nice and super affordable... and I would definitely stay here again.

The room smelled bad when we first walked in. There was no comforter on one of the beds and the “graveyard shift clerk” told me to come get a blanket he didn’t know why I didn’t get one. The ice machine right next to our room was super loud and kept me up at night. The door wasn’t on the hinges right and had not seal so you could see outside. The courtyard was a good place for people to scream and cuss all night. I would not consider this a boutique hotel.

I could not leave a review on Google cuz it says that they have suspicious activity of reviews which makes me think that they were paying someone to give them fake good reviews because there's nothing good this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The location is on a corner lot, but the information about parking was unclear. There’s no parking on-site; you have to park across the street and around the corner. This made check-in a hassle since you must drop off your luggage first to avoid dragging it down the street.

The check-in process was confusing and inefficient. I noticed several other guests struggling with it as well. You essentially have to activate your own room cards and manage most of the process yourself. While the receptionist was friendly and tried her best to assist, it was clear that the system in place was inadequate, leaving many guests frustrated.

As for the rooms, they were disappointing. I've stayed in better conditions at budget hotels like Motel 6. The bathrooms were not clean, with hair in the shower and an overall lack of proper cleaning. It seemed like the room was just sprayed with air freshener rather than thoroughly cleaned. The bed was hard, and the sheets felt rough against my skin.

Additionally, the noise level was unbearable; we could hear everything happening around us. I feel like what I paid was a total scam. Overall, I regret my decision to stay here and would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Older motel but clean. Very simple. Beds were comfy. Parking was fine. Downside is that the walls are thin and it was very noisy late into the night. We checked in at 3:00 am and there was still lots of noise. It was a weekend so during the week it might be quieter.

The room was very dirty. Our feet were black after walking around. There was food from someone’s hand touching the door frame. Mold in the shower. Very minimal furniture in the room and just generally felt unclean. It was very noisy and you could hear neighbors talking through the walls very easily. The front desk staff was not friendly at check in and barely said anything other than just asking for our IDs and telling us where our room was and didn’t even respond when we thanked him.

luckily we only booked this for 1 night as we didn't get any sleep until after 4 AM and had to be up early.
the place itself would have been fine for the price - a renovated older motel building that seems common at the moment. And the room was fine too, clean and spacious enough. But there was what sounded like a nightclub nearby that went on until at least 4 AM and we could hear every beat of the music. Unfortunately we had an early appointment so this was the last thing we needed.

This hotel offers a great location and was a fantastic base for us!

We loved being walking distance to the Walk of Fame, and the staff were super nice about checking us in early. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was good, offering plenty of options (watch out, you might put on a few pounds!).

Our only significant concerns, which led to the lower rating, are two-fold: the pool area is quite small and difficult to enjoy fully. More importantly, walking a bit further from the hotel reveals a disheartening amount of homelessness and rubbish, which made us feel unsafe at times.

Excellent hotel service, but be mindful of the immediate neighborhood.
