If at all possible avoid this low-low rent version of a casino. The pool area is lower grade than a motel 6 and everything stinks (smells bads) and looks very used. It is too far from the stripo to even visit because a cab fee would be outrageous.

I stayed at the Sante Fe Station on business on July 5th-9th after spending the night of July 4th at the Golden Nugget. As we arrived I wanted to go back to Freidmont Street, but this is where our company put us so here we stayed. We had a room in the upper 20's so the trek to and from the elevator was fun (not). The room was decent sized but the bathroom was SMALL, and had very little counter space. The room was clean, the towels and linens worn. The pool was small, full of unsupervised children, a VERY LONG walk around the building (no direct access from the hotel), The food court wasn't bad (the Wing Stop was pretty good, and FatBurgers shakes were delicious), The Cafe was decent, (only had 1 meal there) and we ate at the buffet on our last morning. The food on the buffet was questionable. there were bagels and bread with no way to toast it, no cream cheese, but they had lochs and no cream cheese??? We ate off property ALOT! We ordered room service the first morning and found the menu limited, got a croissant that was cold and hard. It took 3 calls to get anything done and finally a semi warm softer croissant.

The casino surprised me the most, apparently it caters to locals which is fine, but I am accustomed to complimentary beverages when gambling (slots, blackjack) but had to pay for a DRINK!!!!!!!! The only time I received a complimentary beverage was in the poker room, and I spent ALOT more elsewhere in the casino!!

The one ammenity I did enjoy was the bowling alley which was fun. But I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

We spent 4 nights at the Santa Fe Station hotel after working a tradeshow in Las Vegas.
The hotel looks very nice...decor, size, amenities, but we were not impressed.
We had requested a Non Smoking King room. When we checked in, they put us in a Smoking room with a view of the parking garage. We asked if we could change rooms the next day, and we were told yes, just call us after 10 AM and we will switch you. I then called the Front Desk and attempted to do that 3 times the next morning. Each time, I was told "call back later". The 3rd time, I was told "you can ask when you come to the Front Desk, but Good Luck, because we are booked and they won't want to switch you". Also, there is only one elevator to each wing, so if you happen to get rooms 40-50 on any floor, it is a VERY LONG walk to/from the elevator and Ice Machine.
The pool area is stuck back by the loading docks (no view), and is about 1/3 the size it should be for a property this large. Obviously they don't want you spending time at the pool when you could be spending money in the Casino. The only quick option for morning coffee is Starbucks, so be prepared to pay $3.50-$6.00 for a cup of coffee. I will definitely try a different property next time I go to Vegas.

My husband and I are of two minds about this hotel. We are not sure if we would stay there again. We have family living near by and that is the reason we chose to stay there instead of The Orleans (which we really love). The down side and I really mean the down side is the smoke in the Casino. The owners really ought to do something about that. The room did not smell, but your eyes were burning from downstairs that it did not make any difference.

Food-wise, we ate two breakfasts at the Cafe. One was perfect and the second day, I could not even eat any of my food. Don't order the cheese and ham omelet. The tiny chopped up pieces of ham are impossible to bite into and the cheese is draped across the top of the eggs. The waitress asked me when she saw I hadn't eat anything if I was a petite eater. Hey, I felt like saying take a look at me, I am anything but petite. The breakfast Buffet looked like the food was sitting there from the day before. However, the fruit was fresh and tasy. To finish off my review of the food, the barbeque restaurant had delicious ribs and plenty of them. Don't order the cole slaw, however.

On the plus side, the room was large and clean. The counter in the bathroom was not large enough for all our toiletries, but we managed.

Staff was very efficient and, best of all, security was good. Our daughter picked us up outside and while we were sitting in the car trying to decide which entertainment spot to go to, we were approached by security as to why we were there so long and quite frankly we were appreciative of them noticing.

Slots by the front door of the reception area were hot and we won a few bucks.

Would we return there again? Not sure, maybe I would call and see how their ventilation system is working.
