I should have realised by the price that I was taking a chance. We booked for the location, and Hoover Dam and Lake Mead were fantastic.
When we arrived the air conditioning was not on, despite the 100+ temperature, and it took until the early hours of the following morning for the room to cool down, by which time I had not had any sleep! I booked a room with a spa, but this looked very old, and none too clean, so we did not use it. The breakfast (I think this is what they called it) is not worth the effort. Apart from the convenient location, boulder city was a very short drive, and there were some nice restaurants. As you can tell I was not very impressed.

stayed 2 nights
Very helpfull and friendly staff in every possible way.(Jennie is one of them)
Pool was nice as it was 102 F at least.
Clean rooms and comfortable
Hotel is going through renovations and front lobby is temporarily displaced to the breakfast area.

No bad surprises good value

This is a 1960s style hotel that was undergoing mild renovations when I stayed there.

The pluses:
-Large rooms.
-Probably the only hotel in town with a view of Lake Mead.
-The carpet and bed in my room looked new, and the room had been repainted recently.

The minuses:
-The office was closed for renovation, and it was extremely hard to find the temporary office (it's in a nearby building with a fake lighthouse on it).
-Overall, the site looks run down. For example, the landscaping is seedy.
-I was told I had a "ground accessible" room, but I still had to climb nine steps to get to it.
-There was no phone in the room.
-Mattresses and rolls of carpet (apparently for the renovation) were piled in the parking lot, on the ground.

Not a terrible stay, but understand that you're getting a budget hotel with very few frills.

The hotel was in the midst of redecorating and exterior painting, soon to be associated with Choice Hotels. Spacious room, but loud air conditioner and slow to cool down. Lovely view of the lake. Friendly staff and good rate.
