Best deal in town!

I was totally pleased with this little place! Well worth the money. I paid $66 to camp and $97 for a double Queen that was clean and comfortable in every way. No more camping for me. Sure, it’s a little old but it is VERY clean, everything works well, no bad smells, great location, people are helpful and friendly. Great price. Why would I stay anywhere else?

We stayed two nights and had a hot tub room, we enjoyed our stay and it was the first hotel smart enough to put the hot tub room in the basement! I enjoyed the fact that we didn't hear any neighbors and our room was a nice place to relax. I've stayed in several places on that strip and I'd book there again. My only complaint was how tiny the shower was and how intense the water was in there but the big jetted tub was great. Nice staff and convenient location.
