When we checked in on March 19 at about 5 PM, the desk clerk was not at all friendly. I tried to get her to smile but she wasn’t having any of it. Maybe she was just having a bad day?
This hotel is located along Boulder Highway in an industrial area. The biggest tip I can give anyone who might consider staying here is to ask for a room on the parking lot side of the building if you are a light sleeper. The highway noise is VERY LOUD when a big truck or motorcycle zooms by. And, like any highway, travel is consistent all night long. The parking lot side of the building is much, much quieter.
Also, just like any casino hotel in the Vegas area, the smell of smoke is everywhere, even though the hotel has all non-smoking rooms. As most people know, cigarette smoke permeates anything and everything so you can smell it in the hallways of the hotel, but not in the rooms.
The place looks like it has been recently updated and remodeled. It’s quite clean and everything looks to be in very good shape and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable and the room had a nice large television.
We ate in the restaurant twice for breakfast and once for dinner. Ham and egg special was $5.95 which was quite a bargain and the dinner special at the time was prime rib for $13.95 which was also a super good deal. We ordered cocktails, which were very reasonably priced.
We were there on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, and they had live music in the casino bar area, which was pretty cool.
