My wife and I stayed here while we were intown visitng family. There are two parking garages . Valet park and park at the one next to the lobby check in. The other one is way on the other side from where you check in, if you park there you will have a looong walk with your luggage. I think it would be shorter to walk to the strip then the check in area (being sarcastic here).

The room- The room was average, bathroom small and very little counter space. To me it smelled like smoke, my wife said she didnt really notice it. The towels provided were small. No fridge in the rooom but a lot of hotels dont include those anymore. The one thing about the room that drove me crazy was that in december it is cold in vegas which means you have to turn on the heater. It seemed like it would never shut off! so we had to turn it off when we went to sleep and turn it on in the middle of the night when the room became Ice cold. Which meant we were getting in and out of bed to turn on and off the thermostat.

Food- We only ate at the grand cafe once. service was horrible, and the food mediocure. It took over an hour to get our order and there were not many people in the resturaunt. We ate most of our meals somewhere else. In the past we have eaten at the Charcol room and that was very good but also very pricey. Would never eat at the cafe again!

Ammenities- It was nice that they had a movie theater attached so we were able to see a couple of movies after spending time with family. We didnt use the bowling alley and it was too cold for the pool. This is a locals hotel so dont compare it to the ones on the strip. Its not glamourous.They do have penny slots-havent seen those in a while.. They also have a starbucks in the casino which was very nice for my morning coffee!

Overall- this hotel was fair, not the worst I have stayed in but not the best either. They have room for improvement. They should move the parking garage back to the other side so you dont have the long treck to the room. I might stay here again because it is close to family I was visiting. If your visiting vegas for the action on the strip this hotel is a long way away and I cannot recomend it for that. Overall its not a bad hotel.

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!!!!!!!!!
