“Loved it!”

Front desk staff in the evening is really nice, a girl named Colby works the PM, night auditor Don is nice, too. "Colby recommended a really good sushi buffet, called Yama Sushi, and even printed out driving directions for me. She went the extra mile for me and my family. The hotel is easy to find, you just have to look for the Statosphere as your navigator! The rate was affordable, and they have a really nice pool with colorful paintings along the walls, the water was just right!

I had a coupon for $5 off a room at a Vagabond INN that I got in the mail, so I decided to redeem it on a weekend getaway to Las Vegas. The hotel is older, but the room was clean, and the front desk staff made it feel like I was at a 4-star hotel. Even just to have someone to chat with on my way in and out of the hotel really made me feel good, that is what good service is all about. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice experience!

“Never Again!”

Sahara Westwood Hotel

Apr 27, 2006
4/6 found this review helpful

This is the dirtiest, ill-equipped hotel we have ever stayed in. What a disappointment. Please know that their website is so misleading. They advertise that they have microwaves, irons and ironing boards in every room. That is not true.

Microwaves and refrigerators may be put in a room for a $10 fee per night.

After securing a guest's driver's license, the person at the front desk will give them an iron. The first one they gave us was broken, and I had to return it to get one that would work.

To actually use the iron… plug it into an outlet…it was necessary to move a bed to get to an outlet, unplug a lamp, then I could plug the iron in.

We never could get an ironing board; I had to iron clothes on the bed.

The room was dirty .. so dirty, in fact, I was afraid we'd have bed bugs in our bed.

There was a small coffee pot in the guest room, but no coffee cups, and the coffee pot was nowhere near an outlet to plug into.

There was no way to dial the front desk from the guest room … no instructions in the room and no combination I'd used at other hotels across the country seemed to work.

The tub and sink looked filthy. They may have been wiped clean, but the stains and dirt that seemed to be on them was obnoxious enough to eliminate any thought of sinking a weary body into a tub of hot water at the end of a day.

The shower had a measly little spray that came out of it … pretty sad; not enough water to even wash my hair.

All in all the stay at this hotel was way more than disappointing. It's advertised as the AmeriRest Travel Lodge; however, there is a different hotel name on the iron, and a "Vagabond" Hotel sign above the hotel. It's really something else. We'll never stay there again. There are only two requirements I've ever had or wanted when securing a hotel: 1) The guest rooms are clean; and, 2) The beds are comfortable, not hard as a rock. I don't ask for too much … in this instance, however, I think my two basic requests were way over the top for the hotel's management. Pretty sad. Pretty sad.
