I've always returned here on trips to Las Vegas owing to good value for money and the central location, close to the Strip and all amenities. That said, don't expect someone to put a chocolate on your pillow, or come in to turn down your bed - this is a budget hotel. There is a security guard who actually gets out of his office and does the rounds in the grounds, so no-one should fear for their safety here. All round a good value hotel in a great central location. Never had a problem here.

It was just my friend and I (both females) that stayed here. It's sandwiched between two Motel 6's, and the people staying at those motels were kinda shady. On our walks to and from we were often "harassed" ('hey ladies where ya going?') by drunk men driving or walking by. One night we were being followed home so we ducked into Coco's restaurant for awhile so that they didn't try and force themselves into our room. I would not stay there again if I didn't have a male with me. We had to make sure no one was watching or following us every time we entered our room so that no one knew where we were staying, just to be safe. There are some rent-a-cops who piddle by every now and again but they aren't too scary-looking driving golfcarts.

For quality comparison, it's about equal to staying in a Motel 6 or a Super 8, so if you don't mind staying in one of those rooms, you won't mind staying in one of these rooms. I found this place to be a bit cleaner than most of the Motel 6/Super 8's I've stayed in though. It's a great location. It's on the nicer end of the strip by MGM Grand and NYNY. Maybe a 5 minute walk to MGM?

The staff was very friendly, they let us check in WAY early (we arrived at 7 a.m. and were exhausted from traveling all night) because they luckily had our room clean and ready already. They also will call you a cab. We had a run-in with a jerk cabdriver who was trying to charge us almost $30 to take us to MGM because 'it cost him that much to put his taxi on the road and we could walk there in five minutes' (we were in high heels and it was late so we didn't wanna walk). He drove away when we refused to pay that ridiculous price for less than a mile, and the lady at the front desk was quite irritated at the driver and apologized and called us a new one who was much happier.

If you're just planning on sleeping, showering and changing there (which you should - you're in Vegas!) then it's good for it's price. If I had the extra money I would stay at MGM. Ladies - be careful, don't stay here without a guy.
*Note* The pictures are from after a few days of being there, the messiness is our own fault. =)

booked this hotel at $40/nt over the internet. I did not see any shady people around. The shower water temp fluctuated but was manageable. The bed sheets looked clean. room looked clean enough. i did not smell anything. The heater only took a long time to heat up only on the first night. After that it was ok. This is a bare bones hotel ,like roadway inn, motel 6, i.e. no kleenex box. I did see a hair in the sink after room service, after i was there 3 days, but it was mine. The TV worked.There was wake up service via the phone. The door locks worked ok. You need to make sure to pull the door shut though.

I've stayed at this motel in August 08 for a week and overall I'm happy what I got for my bucks. My room was clean, aircon worked well and the location opposite the MGM was excellent. Unlike to other reviewer's experience, my door DID lock properly. Also, I couldn't spot any shady characters lurking outside. The rooms aren't very big, I'd say they are fine for 1 or 2 people and absolute max 3.

Only problem I had was the curtains, I had to put the yellow pages on them, otherwise someone could have seen me snoring inside! In addition, the aircon was rather noisy. But I didn't notice that when coming home late at night, as I was tired, happy and tipsy. It's Vegas after all, I only went back to the motel to get some sleep or for having a shower.
