Think of it like a high class Motel 6...lol. What did you expect for something that is well under $100 a night in one of the most touristy cities filled with hotels and inns? not to mention competition from the likes of locals with vacation rentals?

Location, location, location...

If you want to get away from the strip...albeit not too far away then El Cortez is a solid option. You can walk to Fremont st. or all the other desirable spots in downtown and parking is a plenty, since it's free for hotel guests. There are two parking structures to choose form. IMHO the Cabana Suites are a much better place to stay instead of the regular El Cortez which is actually across the street. From my experience all the issues I had were a direct result of the guests staying there, not from the hotel itself.

The suites are non-smoking, even though some genius decided to light up in the exit stairwell because he/she was too lazy to go outside and smoke. The room itself was a decent size and comfy. Everything worked just as advertised. There is a mini refrigerator built into the furniture / TV. The staff cleaned the room and maintained everything well. Just a heads up; they don't allow an extra cot or bed in here.

I wouldn't have a problem staying here again...
