well checked in and actually was surprised how this motel has gone thru changes. the rooma have been totally remodeled
new bathrooms and furniture, the desk people and managment could not have tried harder. it seems like they have cleaned up this motel and put some care and pride into it , i would recomend it for the budget type people with a good location next to the new fremont st arts area

Well, at least the linens seemed clean and the maids did okay. But I had expensive stuff UPSd to me while I was there and they said they didn't get it. When I got home I found out they signed for it and I had a name. I called them and they said they would forward it to me but they never did. Dollar loss: $300. The stuff probably ended up in a pawn shop since there are plenty of those nearby. .There were people coming and going at all hours. I heard people in the lobby talking about "this police report," "that police report.." No surprise to me as I think I saw hookers and johns and drug dealers/users lurking around. They have a guy who wears a baseball cap who calls himself the "security guard." He also apparently acts as the night maintenance man because they finally---after I went to the desk four times to complain that I couldn't get any cable on the TV---and he yelled at me telling me he was not a TV expert. They never did fix the TV. My third day there I told them in the morning I would be staying two more days. But they went into my room and cleaned it out anyway. They finally found me another room that exited on the street. I parked my car on the street in front of this room for about half an hour in the middle of the night and when I went to move the car I had a parking ticket. The neighborhood is one you do not want to be in at high noon let alone at night. I double-bolted my door and hoped for the best. Nobody at the desk has a clue about anything and you wait there and drum your fingers while the desk-person does this or that, talking on the phone etc, treating you as an undesirable imposition.. And the two extra days I was there they nailed me for over $100 instead of their so-called bargain rate of $30.00/night. Altogether I think four nights there cost me $230. They have an adjacent offstreet parking lot. You feel like running from that parking lot to your room expecting a hail of bullets from shoot-outs. Bottom line: If this is the best you can do on a trip to Vegas---you can't afford to go to Vegas!

I thought this was the perfect spot for an Admissions Meeting. The motel is close to everything, especially the plasma bank, gun shop and billiards hall. And the food at Church’s Chicken can’t be beat! Thanks for everything, can’t wait until next year.

My wife and I stayed here and the place is fine, for the money. Sure it's kinda run down, but for the money, this place was perfectly fine - as the cheapest option for the Friday night we stayed in the Vegas area. Fairly clean, fairly quiet, although the area immediately around the motel is a bit scary with all sorts of shady characters walking about at all times day and night (especially night). But once inside your room, the place is perfectly fine - for a cheap motel. And that's what it is, an affordable motel! I know there are rich people who often pay upwards of $80 a night (or more!) for a room for a night, and for them they can have their fancy rooms with spotless toilets, squeaky clean sinks, fresh bright white linens, ice-cold air conditioning - let them live in their expensive luxury. For the rest of us, there's the Downtowner motel, a great way to save $$$ in Vegas!

Really nasty place. There was smell of smoke all over; linens are in terrible shape. One good this is that they have a security guy watching over parking lot. Considering the shady area around, I would say this is a plus.
