Stop over to Las Vegas

Really good hotel on our stop off over to Las Vegas. Rooms where large and clean and beds were comfortable would definitely recommend this hotel. Breakfast was good and the children loved making the pancakes and waffles.

Clean, comfortable and a free breakfast!

We have come here several times to break up our driving trips. The rooms are immaculate and the beds are comfortable. We always get a great nights sleep. We come here for the excellent free breakfast too. The fresh ground coffee is better than Starbucks!

Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Great breakfast! Not the greatest location, no good places to eat outside of the hotel. Lots of homeless people in the area. My sister and I were in town for a comedy show, the area didn’t feel the safest. But hotel was great and so was the staff.
