Small rooms, but very cozy. Nothing fancy, but everything you need: apartment-sized refrigerator with a freezer, microwave, lots of plugs on both sides of the bed, roomy shower, and a comfortable bed. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and will come back.

This cute, retro hotel was near a beautiful shopping area in the old town of Boulder City. Very friendly, welcoming staff, and spacious room. Safe and quiet. Everything in the room worked and it was very clean. A nice, fair rate, especially considering the area. Our only complaint was that our room had limited supply of hot water for two showers, but we'd stay again even with that. This is because of the great room and grounds, room delivery of one extra blanket, very, very fast Wi-fi, and easy check in and check out. Safe, available parking in the lot. Highly recommend!

Great !!! 👍

I had a wonderful stay at this motel! The welcome was incredibly warm, the staff were always smiling, friendly, and ready to help. They even let me check in earlier than expected, which I really appreciated. The room was clean, super comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location is also perfect, just next to the Hoover dam. I highly recommend this place!
