The motel was clean, but there is construction all around. The room had a strong smell from cleaning solution and if we opened the window in the bathroom there was a dirt lot. When we booked they had told us we would be closer to the place we going to attend a convention then we actually were, so that was inconvenient, although they did give us a discount (when I asked) for the inconvenience. Also, beware of hidden charges. There is a sign that says there is a $1.99 per day fee for the phone charged in advance. We assumed that if we didn't use the phone it would be taken off-wrong! We insisted and the manager (who was very nice) removed it, but if that's a mandatory charge, why not quote that in the room price. It's not a lot but if you are staying a few nights it adds up. The room was clean enough, and the price was good, but there were some issues.

We had a surprisingly efficient and friendly check-in. The lobby didn't look like much, but the room was pretty okay, although a little small. The hotel's location, across from Circus Circus on the Strip, is excellent.

Four things have ruined our overall experience of this hotel. First, the blankets on the beds were VERY old and had mold on it. We only discvered this late in the evening when we removed the bed covers. What kind of hotel is this, if housekeeping doesn't notice the mold on the covers (or does not care about it)? One of the mattresses had coffee stains, too, but we can live with that: coffee stains do not threaten our health.

Second, the breakfast was the worst one we had on this trip. No breakfast area, and only a handful of Otis Spunkmeyer (!?) muffins, coffee and juice. If you don't have a breakfast area and are not planning to offer something whch looks like a real breakfast, don't say that you offer "Bear Bites Breakfast" ("Travelodge wants to make sure that you are fueled up before starting your active day or else you'll be hungry as a bear!" Yes, right.) This is very misleading. It is false competition to other hotels, which either say they don't serve breakfast or say that they do and actually serve something decent.

Third, the hotel does not offer free wireless internet access. When we made our reservations, we had the impression that the hotel had free wifi. When re-checking the website, we found that they are not clear that you have to pay to use the internet. It seems like there are two options: wireless internet in the rooms and a paid-for kiosk in the lobby, whereas there's only the paid-for options.

Fourth, we found it really annoying that every guest has to pay an additional two dollars for local calls. We didn't make any local calls, we didn't want to make local calls: why should we pay? It's not about the two dollars, it's about getting the feeling that you're staying in a hotel that tries to rip you off as much as they can.

To sum up: Great location and okay rooms. No service, no breakfast, no internet, but hidden fees. Decide for yourself if you would like to stay in such a place. We won't go here again.

ideal for our annual motor cycle trip to america,we have sopped here 5 or 6 times,very basic but suits us,we were able to leave the bike right outside our door not as though we have .had any problems in the past. its situation is ideal right on the strip.very cheap compared to the big hotels on the strip where some of the reviewers try to compare facilaties,if your wanting somewhere cheap,safe and clean this is ideal if not try the hilton

Stayed here during the second weekend in November. When we arrived the person who helped us was fantastic (Everett)! The hotel room was fine but no free internet and the bathroom was tiny. Weird thing is that they give you shampoo but no conditioner. There is a complimentary continental breakfast but they stop serving it by about 8 or 8.30 in the morning. We only tried it on the 1st morning but couldn't get out of bed that early for the rest of our trip. The hotel itself is quite run down and is in desperate need of a face lift. The window in our room faced the back of the property which is actually a construction site at the moment. If staying during a weekday there is plenty of noise from the construction site 1st thing in the morning. Luckily this doesn't happen during the weekend mornings. Is quite far north on the strip so cost ~$10 (including tips) to get to about the centre of the strip. Some cabbies try to take you a back way but that can cost almost 3 times the usual fare so make sure you go straight down the strip! Is conveniently located to Circus Circus (opposite it on the same side of the strip). Can also get a bus from Slots a million which is almost a part of Circus Circus. Ladies who checked us out had no customer service skills whatsoever. They were not helpful at all in resolving an issue we had and from their attitudes they really didn't care. Would only stay here primaily if I didn't want to spend too much money on accomodation, if I wasn't spending too much time in the room, if someone as nice checked us in and if I didn't have to keep coming back to pick up things or change shoes to go out because the taxi fare can become quite hefty.
