    "The price was great and the hotel served my purpose." source Priceline

  • Clean: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "The bathroom was pretty clean but the room itself had a very poor odor and the carpet definitely needed to be replaced." source Priceline

    "It smells like they pump Febreze through the air vents - clean & fresh. The whole place was clean, impeccably kept, and the service at every spot was great." source Travelocity

    "The hotel has ample free parking in a clean and safe multi-storey, but there is public transport from then airport, and the bus terminal is just a block away." source Expedia

    "Room was clean, quiet and relaxing." source Priceline

  • Location: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "We have never felt unsafe in the Fremont East area, and it offers several good bars, not to mention the terrific steakhouse in the El Cortez." source Orbitz

    "The cafe was very nice to have on location and was open 24 hours, but has a limited menu overnight. Walking distance to Fremont Street Experience." source Travelocity

    "we were very close to downtown las vegas but if we had it to do over agian i would spend a little more to stay on the strip." source Expedia

    "It seemed like it was in a bad area but I was tired of driving around and everything else seemed too expensive for a few hours sleep or they were sold out." source Travelocity

    "clean, very friendly, rooms great size, could not ask for better in downtown area." source Expedia

  • Value: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "I upgraded to the tower rooms for a very reasonable price and was completely satisfied." source Orbitz

    "I found a very inexpensive room at El Cortez but was very cautious thinking it was too good to be true." source Expedia

    "The price could not be beat." source Hotels.com
