The entire staff was wonderful. I felt like everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. From the point we drove in to the Valet, the doorman, check-in, restaurant staff, cashiers, dealers.. I mean everyone was super nice. That's not to say everything was perfect.. I have to knit-pick but even with those, it wasn't enough to take a star away. We will definitely be returning.

Extremely load in rooms from the rooftop bars across the street. Very annoying and the staff can't speak any English. They should know the basics any guest will ask on a daily basis. Ice Machine, what a washcloth and towel is. Bad management

Likes: good atmosphere, quieter than other Fremont hotels, adults only Dislikes: room was not fully clean, hair in bathtub. Tub drain would not seal, had to improvise. House keeping did not come to our room, had to call for toilet paper and reuse towels. Room service did not arrive for hours with said supplies. I don’t know what the resort fees are for? Just a cash grab I guess

I needed an inexpensive place to stay for a night in Las Vegas before flying home. I'm cheap and not picky. At $62/night with great reviews, I booked a room in the Cabana Suites just across the street from the main hotel and casino. It was perfect. Quiet, nostalgic 1940s vibe, and great staff. The area is off the beaten path, which I liked (quiet and no traffic). The on-site free parking garage with 24-hour security was another plus. I didn't spend time in the casino except for passing through to the front desk or restaurants. Like most Vegas casinos, minimal exposure is best.

Always a great place to stay and easy walk to Fremont St. Siegels has gotten too expensive for us. The service is very good. Check in and out was easy. Your key us on your wrist so you never get locked out. 21 and over is a definite plus. Our home away from home!!

The property was unfortunately not as nice as the reviews lead me to believe, and I'm generally a pretty low key customer. There were some nice people, but overall it was just dirty and loud.

I love the history, everything was great except the cleanliness of the room. Hair in the shower (also two shampoos but zero conditioner), a previous guests lipstick was on the floor and not even hidden. My room, 5566, had a great view and was surprisingly quiet considering, but it was just dingy. Please spackle, paint and give it a really good scrub.
