This is the kind of hotel that would be good to stay at if you just want to eat and gamble. the rooms are not nice - the bathroom is so small and even the non-smoking rooms smell like smoke - all the linens, towels, etc. smell like smoke. They do have some nice places to eat - the food court is great for a quick bite. The smoke everywhere is typical Vegas, but this is really much worse than other hotels I have stayed at. Also, if you are planning on going to the Strip, do not stay here. It is a $55 - $60 cab ride to the airport, and about the same to the strip. You will want to rent a car if you will be going back and fourth to the strip. I would just spend the extra $20 or so a night and stay on the strip. No room service - although they advertise they do have room service - they do not. This was just a bad stay all around - bad neighborhood, too. The pool is so small and hard to get to it's not even worth using. Ugh. I will not stay here again and will not recommend this place to anyone.

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.
