The hotel is off the Main Street but the trolley actually stop right in front of the office, rooms are clean ours looks like it had recently been remodeled, I wish I had gotten her name but the front desk person was the perfect example of what CS should be, she has a beautiful smile and addressed each concern I might have had. The only problem we had was that we lost hot water the day after we arrived, we were offered another room or the access to an empty room to take our showers( that was our choice). Overall great experience, especially for the price 😊😊😊😊

This is a great budget friendly hotel! We have stayed here multiple times and we will do so again. It is not the newest but felt safe and clean. It is off the strip but was a 20 minute walk or trolly ride home from the aquarium.
