“One of the BEST!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This motel, although quaint and staffed with older Las Vegans, is neat, safe and very clean. The staff is older as I mentioned so getting checked in and out is like visiting your older aunt in Alabama but as for helpfulness and willingness to assist...they do their jobs. The motel has 24 hour security with cameras all over the place. It is located next to El Cortez which in my opinion for the money is not a good price for the money. Some of the staff at The Downtowner has been there over 25 years, like Ms. Essie. I happen to have been there with my children when they were celebrating her 27th year of service. My children were all comfortable with the area and there were several places to eat and have delivered. You just cant beat it for $29.99 a night...two double beds, closet, kitchenette, bathroom, cable, central heat and air. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

“Nice Retirement motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2008

people found this review helpful

This motel is okay for people to retire in it fits their budget and is close to everything they need, including trolley ,DTC bus lines, and within walking distance of Fremont casinos and restaurants. The service is good, front desk clerks could use some improvement, such as dress code and manners or politeness to customers, also they are slow at check in and check out.

  • Liked — WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF MOST ENTERTAINMENT.
  • Disliked — FRONT SERVICE PEOPLE

well checked in and actually was surprised how this motel has gone thru changes. the rooma have been totally remodeled
new bathrooms and furniture, the desk people and managment could not have tried harder. it seems like they have cleaned up this motel and put some care and pride into it , i would recomend it for the budget type people with a good location next to the new fremont st arts area

“never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2007

people found this review helpful

Well, at least the linens seemed clean and the maids did okay. But I had expensive stuff UPSd to me while I was there and they said they didn't get it. When I got home I found out they signed for it and I had a name. I called them and they said they would forward it to me but they never did. Dollar loss: $300. The stuff probably ended up in a pawn shop since there are plenty of those nearby. .There were people coming and going at all hours. I heard people in the lobby talking about "this police report," "that police report.." No surprise to me as I think I saw hookers and johns and drug dealers/users lurking around. They have a guy who wears a baseball cap who calls himself the "security guard." He also apparently acts as the night maintenance man because they finally---after I went to the desk four times to complain that I couldn't get any cable on the TV---and he yelled at me telling me he was not a TV expert. They never did fix the TV. My third day there I told them in the morning I would be staying two more days. But they went into my room and cleaned it out anyway. They finally found me another room that exited on the street. I parked my car on the street in front of this room for about half an hour in the middle of the night and when I went to move the car I had a parking ticket. The neighborhood is one you do not want to be in at high noon let alone at night. I double-bolted my door and hoped for the best. Nobody at the desk has a clue about anything and you wait there and drum your fingers while the desk-person does this or that, talking on the phone etc, treating you as an undesirable imposition.. And the two extra days I was there they nailed me for over $100 instead of their so-called bargain rate of $30.00/night. Altogether I think four nights there cost me $230. They have an adjacent offstreet parking lot. You feel like running from that parking lot to your room expecting a hail of bullets from shoot-outs. Bottom line: If this is the best you can do on a trip to Vegas---you can't afford to go to Vegas!
