Let me start by saying the staff on site were amazing. But the pictures of the rooms and property were very misleading. The room smelt of stale smoke. The property was poorly maintained the walls were dirty and there were Rollie pollies in the shower. The bed was noisy. I never write reviews but this really disappointed me.

Very disappointed – Extremely dirty property
I had a very bad experience at this hotel. The cleanliness was unacceptable. The room was dirty, the bed sheets were stained and soiled, and the floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The entire property, in general, was very poorly maintained. On top of that, the bathroom towels had a really bad odor. Save your money and go somewhere else.

We did not have high expectations coming into this hotel and yet we still found ourselves shocked at how awful the experience was. The amenities were $48 for two nights which is reasonable if it wasn’t for the parking being across the street. The pool was also across the street and not physically located in the hotel. The putting greens were fine. The check in process was lengthy and we waited in the sweltering heat because the lobby couldn’t fit more than 4 guests. The room itself was as advertised. It wasn’t visibly dirty but felt unclean. The absolute worst part about the stay was the abhorrent scent of sewage that lingered in our room. As soon as we walked in the smell hit us and it didn’t dissipate for the entire length of the stay. Turning the fan on high and opening the window was not enough to remedy the scent. The hotel also seems to have central AC and the room was hot during this time of year despite the fan being in high. I would not recommend this stay for anyone and we regret choosing this to be our lodging option for this weekend, I would not recommend this to anyone as there are cheaper and nicer options elsewhere.

The room are clean and beautiful with a lots of amenities provided. The negative side is only the hotel is near by a club so it very loud at night especially at weekend. Overall the staff is very helpful and the room is good with the price.

Look you get what you pay for! Yes the property is clean but there is a stench in the room like no other. The baseboards look like they are rotting away. The mattresses are worn out and just the overall vibe doesn't feel safe in the area it's located. Parking is located across the street, unattended, and looks unsafe. There is a bar inside the establishment that's open 24/7 so that might catch your fancy. There is also miniature gulfing inside the lobby, if that's what you want to do. We checked in and 30 minutes later we checked right back out! Paul was super nice upon arrival and departure. So the staff is not the issue here! The overall upkeep of the property needs a major overhaul.

This was an old hotel that had been obviously updated. The room was very clean and the decor very pleasing. Unfortunately the walls between rooms had not been updated and we could hear our neighbours next to us and upstairs from us very very easily. The location was good with respect to Fremont Street, however there were nightclubs just behind us that had head banging music until 4 am. This would’ve been useful to know. The minigolf area indoor was a lot of fun and there is a bar on site as well.
I don’t know that I would stay here again due to the noise issues interrupting sleep.

Straight off the jump, you don’t know where to park. Staff show you a “parking diagram” and don’t properly explain that you have to stay within a certain areas of the parking lot and fail to mention there is two parking lots. I and another person ended up getting a ticket because of poor communication. There was a disgusting smell throughout the whole night, that other customers were also complaining about. When notified, staff didn’t accommodate and just gave us a poorly made and ineffective air freshener. The room was also dirty, the walls had stains, the shower didn’t look properly cleaned, the “soap” that was provided was body wash and shampoo, and the towels had stains. Overall a really bad experience.

Excellent hotel for avoiding the casino hotels. Older, renovated hotel. Room was spacious, although a second chair in the room would have been nice. Coldest pool water even with 100° heat. Easy walk to all the sights on Fremont St and lots of good food.

Okay. Prior to reserve, wife & I were passing by NOT staying in Vegas. But needed to rest. I understand that there’s no refunds. But at times any thing can happen when going to your destination & need to cancel. It’s not okay that staff can’t cancel your reservation. I was forced to stay. Hotel it’s not a 10 like reviews say about it. Hotel was smelly & old. There’s a $20 resort fee? This place ain’t close of being a resort. It had no fridge nor at least 1 or two water bottles. Bed sheets were also smelly. Hotel needs plenty of improvements. Has no privets parking. Had to leave car across the street @ public parking. Which left my mind uneasy. However next morning my car was okay. It’s my fault & should do more research next time.

The “carpet” in the hallway was putting green, which I can’t help but consider can’t be cleaned with a standard vacuum. The white shower curtain was dark yellow at the bottom seam and the fan in the bathroom prevents it from staying outside of the shower. There’s also artificial turf on one of the walls (not pictured anywhere). Popcorn ceilings, poor quality tv, slow wifi, and the bed moves at every movement. Also in a really poor, dirty neighborhood. AC is loud and was incredibly dated (many of the buttons don’t work and were missing their plastic).

The staff was friendly and helpful. There is free parking with a parking pass they give you. The shower water’s hot with great water pressure. No bedbugs nor visible insect activity inside the room, but we left early. It just wasn’t comfortable.

The Downtowner is a great option for those who want to be close to Fremont area. This cozy and unassuming hotel is perfect for anyone who is down to earth. There is no pool but a nice miniature golf course. Parking is available at a separate location half a block away. We felt safe in the day and evening. I do think that they should invest in vacuuming the hallways in the second floor. They seemed very unkept and messing. There is only ice machine on the first floor.

Overall, a nice quaint location that offers many food options, coffee spots, bars etc. Friendly staff, especially Lesly who was very accommodating. Until next time Vegas!

Pros- bed was nice. Coffee at the desk. Ice machine. Cons- parking was across the street so you have to haul all your luggage across the street and then up stairs. There's no elevator. No microwave or refrigerator. The worst part was the floor in the room was dirty. I walk around without shoes and my feet got dirty....which means they don't know how to mop a tiny floor. I think that is disgusting.

My group of 4 had a lovely stay at this hotel. The room is small but the layout is thoughtful, with a separate closet/changing area, a vanity with a chair that fits completely underneath it for more space, and the sink outside of the shower/toilet, making it easier for multiple ppl to share the same space. Staff was also extremely friendly and helpful, and even when we were coming back to our rooms at 7 in the morning, they always had a smile and bright greeting to share.

The grounds were lovely. It's a mini golf couse but most times it wasn't being used, and instead was a good space to eat outside. Because the motel has gated walls it shielded us from much of the wind and provided a lot of shade to eat comfortably outside.

The location is also great- Las Vegas is not known for its walkability so it was nice that the motel is located within walking distance of a variety of restaurants and a 24-hr Walgreens. The free parking was also a huge help.

The only downside (and this is probably because we were a ground-level room) is we had a lot of rolly-polly bugs in the bathroom area that were a bit of a nuisance. But they're harmless and no actual pests were noted during our stay.

Also note early check in does cost extra. But the motel let us park our car early (since it was only 30 min before regular check in time) and we explored the neighborhood in the meantime

When I arrived at 5pm almost 2 hours after checkout started I was told I’d have to wait at least 2 hours for my room. Strike one. It wasn’t like they were busy either. The place was a ghost town.
The worst water pressure I’ve ever experienced. And after letting it run for 5 minutes it was merely tepid. I literally had to exit the shower to rinse my hair in the sink! the AC is either on or off. No thermostat.
So I’m in the room, kinda clean and just want to go to bed. At 11pm I discovered my room always across an alley (yeah, great view) was a very loud nightclub with bass booming through the paper thin walls. Then of course there were the crazy people that frequent the neighborhood often yelling and having fights right outside my room on the street.
There’s no breakfast. Just coffee(and it was terrible. Just a “cocktail lounge” which is actually a 10’ long bar with 4 stools and no tables, frequented by rather questionable locals.
There’s only 1 entrance and I had to walk 100yds in the opposite direction of my room before turning around and climbing stairs (no elevator) then circling the entire building on an exterior balcony to get to my room.
Their ad says recently renovated in 2024. That means they painted it.
Also, if you stay here bring a charger and super long USB if you want your phone to be able to be charging on the nightstand. Entire place just had a scuzzy feel to it.
My advice… stay away.
