With tens of thousands of rooms in a city, there is no reason anyone should chose this hotel. The place is smokey and nasty smelling.

The long line to check in is staffed by one person who is working really hard to get everyone through, but also appears to operate the switchboard and answer incoming calls. Seeing the long line, a manager walked right by and didn't even help the poor lady at the desk or the customers in line.

The rooms are dark with the usual mystery stains on the carpet. The casino is ok and there is one nice restaurant (the Charcoal room)

This place caters to people who haven't been to the city much or often and those who aren't too concerned with their surroundings. The casino seems to have a lot of locals which might be a good thing.

Anything more than $49 a night is a rip off for this place.

We had 2 rooms for 3 days in this hotel. The first night we arrived very late and the toilet did not flush in one of our adjoining rooms. We were too tired to pursue and had a 2nd room bathroom to use. The next day we informed check-in and were moved to another floor with a beautiful view of the mountains (and the roof a/c units if you looked down, but we didn't). I believe we were on the 23rd floor and the view was amazing from anywhere in our room. They compensated us for the inconvenience of having to move and had our bags moved for us.

We LOVED the casino. We have stayed many times at casino's where you get really bored of the casino by the 2nd or 3rd day, but this is not the case here.

We were members of the slot club and got our amazing buffet breakfast comped daily by earning only 100 points (very easy to do).

All in all, we will definitely consider staying here again. The rooms were also very clean. Our only real complaint is that the bathrooms are really small! You would not want to put more than 2 people in a room for this reason. We had no place to keep toiletries because the sink had no extra counter space.

After reading horrible reviews about the Santa Fe Station, I feel compelled to write about my recent stay and come to it's rescue. My daughter, myself and my boyfriend got a comped room through my son's friend at the Santa Fe Station after last minute plans to stay elsewhere fell through. The Santa Fe is located about 20 minutes north of the strip in a suburban area of Las Vegas where I have never stayed before. After reading the Tripadvisor reviews I expected a complete dirty dive, and nightmare experience, however, the total opposite was what we got. The hotel is very nice and done up in a Southwestern style decor and theme. We stayed on the 3rd floor non smoking. The room was very clean, basic and made up nicely. They have several very nice restaurants and a small food court complete with Starbuck's. There is also an enormous 24 hour bowling alley which we had a blast at. A huge movie theater is also located inside the property as well as other kid friendly areas. The pool is small, but this is not meant to be the draw for this hotel. It has a small pool and jacuzzi. In general, everyone was friendly, parking was a breeze, access to the 95 Freeway was easy on and off and we loved it!!! It only took us 20 minutes to drive to the strip to meet the rest of our party. If you are looking for crowds and traffic which is typical on the strip, and or, elegance such as you'd find at Bellagio, Venetion, Wynn, the Santa Fe is not for you. But for a basic off strip Casino/ Hotel, the Santa Fe was GREAT!!! There are also several "Station" hotel and casinos in and around the area, "Santa Fe" being just one of them.

Check-in was fine, but that was about it. Rooms were unclean, my 4 year old found 2 moldy grapes under the desk. Light on desk was missing it's light bulb. Beds were really worn and uncomfortable.Carpets were stained pretty badly and Cigarette burns on counter and furniture -Non-smoking??. Also their "Best of Las Vegas" coffeshop award is a joke!! Both times we went to the Grand Cafe, our order was wrong, service was slow, and the price a bit high. If I didn't have a 2-for-1 hotel coupon, I would have left after the first night!!! It's a pity, when we stayed here 5 years ago, pre - STAITIONS, it was very nice.
