I booked one of the renovated tower rooms, and it was great—clean, spacious, affordable, and secure.
We love the El. We like to get away from the madness of the strip, and we want to stay somewhere that is free of little kids running around. Adult time in a casino and hotel is the goal. The El is very generous with comps, drinks are essentially free if you’re gambling. Discounts are good. Staff is friendly. The casino is clean and comfortable. We stayed at the Cabana Suites. We love how quiet they are. Drawback is the room was not very clean. Shower stall was soap stained, the floor was not vacuumed very well. Linens are getting worn, My pillowcase was shredded. Coffeemaker was broken and we only had decaf, BUT when I brought attention to any problems they were corrected IMMEDIATLY. I think that is important. They do listen to their customers and we’ve stayed at the El a half dozen times. Bonus is the free shuttle to the airport. If you’re looking for a place that’s a little quieter, and you want to explore the new businesses at the east end of Fremont. Stay at the El! There are a lot of wonderful upscale and unique restaurants in the area. Le Thai, The Parlour, 7th and Carson, The Donut Shop, La Mona Rosa, etc. Very walkable!
classy old placewithin the cassino. dogs barking domestic hallway arguments poor shower functioning
Did not like the change to a wristband for a key to room.
Our room faced a nightclub that blasted DJ music until about 3am. The room next to us asked to be moved as did we and the staff was unwilling without us paying an upgrade fee. I even had Orbitz reach out to them and they still refused to move us. We were really excited to stay at this historic place but boy was it a huge disappointment.
First time staying Downtown and this will be my go to Hotel! Absolutely love! Convenient. Safe. Quiet! Only thing, our keurig didn’t work but there were plenty of places to get coffee!
They advertise a shuttle but it is only to the airport, not pickup from the airport, and the shuttle to the airport doesn’t begin before 7:00 a.m. We had to hire an Uber both directions which was expensive and disappointing because we only booked this hotel because it advertised airport shuttles. The noise from other guests is loud on the balcony, like they’re inside your room. The shower was so dirty looking we didn’t want to step into it. The employees were all friendly and we had a good dinner at the on-site restaurant but won’t ever book this hotel again.
DON'T DON'T DON'T STAY HERE!!! Worse hotel stay ever! The noise from a bar across the street was deafening at 12:00 midnight - the walls in the room were shaking! The front desk moved us to another room but only after we paid an additional fee. The hotel is well aware of the noise, yet continues to assign guests to those rooms. The front desk clerk couldn't care and said that her management doesn't care either. Avoid this place at all costs!
Two of the front desk staff were not customer service friendly. The first took a customer from behind us in line and the second did not greet instead just a clipped ID…that’s how we check you in. No non smoking rooms available. We were in the tower over the parking garage so we were on the Fremont Street side. It was noisy but doable. The facility itself is older but there is a nostalgic quality. Smaller casino so a lot of smoke with no where to go.
Awesome hotel a great gambling experience. Slots were definitely paying out and the minimum bets at the table games are very reasonable.
This was one of the worst hotels I've ever used. The shower was warm at best with almost no water pressure so it was essentially a mist. My room went from no heat to an 85 degree sweet box. There were no heating controls and it ran constantly.
Room was fine, but the shower was only lukewarm and guests are unable to adjust the thermostat, so it was kind of hot and stuffy. Coffee maker was broken, but housekeeping brought me a new one. Frankly I was surprised there was a coffee maker at all --most Vegas hotels make you go down to the casino for it. I almost certainly will not stay here again, just because of the hot water issue and the thermostat thing.
Next building had a roof party disco. The nonstop music Soo loud till 5 am.
We were very surprised by how nice the rooms were. Would definitely stay again.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Great value for the Money. Close to Downtown Las Vegas.🤗👍
