We booked into Travelodge as we have been to Vegas many times and didn't really want to pay last minute weekend prices for a strip hotel.

Travelodge was brilliant. Really great value for money. Its close to the strip, much closer than the motor manor lodges at Circus Circus which are about the same price. The rooms aren't big, especially by Vegas standards, but the bed was comfortable and bathroom amenities provided.

We booked a smoking room, and it did have quite a strong smell to it, but this was our mistake when booking and really I shouldn't complain.

Our room had coffee making facilities - the first time I have seen this in any hotel in Vegas, so was quite happy about that.

There was a pool! Really wasn't expecting that. It got sunlight quite late into the day and there was no one else in it. A private pool in Vegas, you don't mind that often!

The rooms had complimentary wifi which was another unexpected bonus.

In fact everything about this Travelodge surpassed my expectations. I booked it a little disappointed that I hadn't got my act together and booked a hotel, but the Travelodge proved a great success and when I was sulking about my room in the Flamingo a few days later, I wish I had gone straight back. The staff at the Travelodge were lovely!!

Don't rule Travelodge out for your stay in Vegas!

This is the 2nd time that i've stayed at this Travelodge and I must say, I was even more impressed than last time! They extended the wifi to the pool area! I love this place because the service is always amazing, the rooms are great (IMO its worth the extra $$ for the suite) and its on the strip. A+

In a town with thousands and thousands of rooms at every price point why would anyone stay in a motel that's seen better days? Personally, I prefer a direct-exit where you can park in front of your door for easy access to your vehicle. Few and far between amidst the plethora of high-rise hotels & casinos.

Good news, Michelle and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The accomodations, while a bit dated and rough around the edges, were comfortable and adequate. My smoking room actually had a clean, fresh smell with just a mild odor of disinfectant spray.

Not so good.... unlike almost every other place you check in these days there was no microwave or refrigerator in the room. A portable refrigerator is available for a reasonable additional charge. Try finding a place to plug it in! All of the wall plugs were two-prong only, the fridge requires the 3rd ground hole. The maintenance gentleman finally resorted to plugging it in around the corner in the bathroom. Speaking of outlets.... a nice work desk for working on the computer... with no outlet anywhere within reach! The WiFi range was extremely limited, although I wasn't far from the office I was able to connect sporadically and experienced frequent disconnects. A friend staying at Circus Circus across the street gave me their password and I used their WiFi.

The worst... the floor of the shower was absolutely disgustingly cruddy! As is seen frequently in many mid-priced motels, housekeeping staff spritzes some cleaner or disinfectant in tubs and showers and gives them a wipe making them *appear* somewhat clean. The floors rarely get the good scrub required to keep the crud from being embedded. The first morning upon discovering this I showered in my socks because I forgot my flip-flops and I didn't want any part of my body touching anything in that shower stall. I picked up some shower togs locally as well as some Soft Scrub and an abrasive cleaning pad and my efforts didn't put a dent in the crud on the shower floor!

One other not-so-hot feature, there are several enclosed stairwells leading to the 2nd floor. If you get a room located behind one of these enclosures you won't have a clue whether it's night or day when you open your door. They totally block the outside world.

Would I stay here again? Possibly, if it was important to have easy access to my vehicle. I'd take a closer look at the room before unpacking though. I'm not one to complain too much although I'm sure the staff would have changed my room if I had asked. As I said, the employees were a high point!

We stayed in one of the ground floor rooms (very convenient parking at the door) in November of 2009. The room was satisfactory, functional, clean. The workers were terrific. As to location ... RIGHT ON THE STRIP. Handy but it requires some walking as the strip is a street, not a spot. Recommend this hotel when the price is low. Too bad the cost bounces sometimes. Like in two Saturdays when we will be staying somewhere else with uniform pricing. Overall rating VERY GOOD due to location and value.
