Las Vegas hotels in Downtown

Cons: It does not have breakfast

Cons: We checked in late they didn’t hold our room we had stay cheeper room and have to change a room next day

Cons: No in-room coffee maker, and the cafe stops serving free coffee at 9am. It would've been nice to sleep in and still have coffee without being charged $4 a cup. Good coffee, though. Bathroom was a little odd, not having a tub or shower curtain/door. I understand the desire to conserve water, however, and the shower stall was perfectly acceptable.

Cons: When I arrived, there were dirty towels and linens left on the counter in the bathroom. Furthermore, the toilet had not been flushed, much less cleaned (there was still feces in it). Midway through my stay, the television stopped working. Disappointing.

Cons: The shower. I get for design purposes that a half a door seems cool lol but the water pressure was so low it made a 10 minute shower turn into a 30 minute one. Kind of a hassle.

Cons: "included breakfast" was only for 2 people event though we reserved a room for 3... and really basic breakfast in a 5 x 5 meters room separate from the main restaurant. Bad water pressure in shower, poorly designed bathrooms. The complementary parking is across the street. Its a 10 minute walk from the parking lot to the room.

Cons: I think for the price there should have been more amenities, breakfast etc. The escalator was down for a day for maintenance and kind of cuts you off from the tower side of the hotel, I feel a Friday was not the right day for this. Providing ear plugs was tacky

Cons: The noise level of the bars below. Also, the facilities were not all functioning (elevators and escalators). Also the location of the room was not very convenient.

Cons: The location wasnt super close to the strip but there were at least some cool things in walking distance

Cons: As a downtown spot, it's a great stay. If you're used to the strip ammenties and atmosphere though you may be put off by any spot downtown

Cons: Small Casino & not to friendly staff. Some one stole our car Key in the middle of the night and no one had reported it and when we were about to get our car to go out and do side seeing we get a suprice new that the car key was stolen after 12hours No one care to report it to us. I'm professional

Cons: One server at the S+O restaurant was incredibly rude. She very obviously didn't want to be there, and we caught her rolling her eyes many times. This was the only staff member that we ran into that was rude, everyone else was great. Getting to the strip is a little difficult, but the downtown strip is just as fun.

Cons: Biker bar and Pawn shop beside hotel. Very loud when bikes leave at all hours and Pawn shop is a dump (what Pawn shop isn't).

Cons: Hotel rooms don’t offer much sound protection from the hallway or even the bathroom. The pillows were a bit hard for my liking.

Cons: I didnt get the fridge that I reserved

Cons: - The staff was mostly friendly and courteous. But during our stay, we encountered 3 hotel staff that were rude. - We brought our ROKU only to find out that the HDTV has a second HDMI port available, but it is DISABLED by the hotel (confirmed by staff). After looking around, we found the tiny set top box and HDMI junction box underneath the desk. We promptly unplugged the HDMI cord and plugged our Roku instead. Problem solved. - As other reviewers noted, the internet was comparable to 512k DSL speed. Streaming content was unbearable at peak hours.

Cons: The only negative would be the noise from Freemont Street. However, during our stay the bands were playing '80's music and we were fine with that, it acually helped us fall asleep.

Cons: Needs a coffee shop

Cons: Didn't expect the Fremont experience to be able to be heard through the building, but they provided really nice earplugs so I slept fine.

Cons: There was a huge street party going on and which sounded as if it were in our room. My five month old was not in the mood for parting so we requested to be moved to the other side of hotel or alow for us to check out, hotel would not accommodate either request, they offered ear plugs!

Cons: Not much of a complaint but I like to play poker so I had to walk to Freemont St to play.

Cons: The generator was struck by lightening and the hotel was out of power in the room towers and no A/C in the casino. There were no apologies and or notification from the staff.

Cons: I wouldn't bring my daughter to Freemont Street

Cons: There was a gap between the outer window facade and the adjoining room. We were "treated" to a lengthy telephone conversation from the guests. We solved the problem by strategically placing a towel into the offending space.

Cons: Dirty Room, Had ear plugs in room so you know what that means. VERY NOISIE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FRONT DECK. First time here will never stay again!!!

Cons: Those pillows are not comfortable at all. The drinks were not very strong - but hey, they were free. Can't complain too much.

Cons: no coffee maker no door or curtain on shower to keep warm air inside

Cons: The disconnect between players services and the promotions and also how the pool is always so ccold, even in the dead of summer.

Cons: Public hair found in shower

Cons: The beds were like a sheet covering a pile scrap metal! They killed my back! Won't stay there again!

Cons: Honestly everything

Cons: Loud music was playing whole night. Giving a pair of ear plug is not a solution.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a pool, but not necessary.

Cons: Stuffy odor

Cons: we stayed in the pavilion suites it was like been in prison it was on 5th floor above the car park the wall were paper thin you could hear everything north/east/south the music stopped at 3.30am from freemont st. and west the maid knocked us up at 8am when I put a no service required on the door DO NOT stop in the pavilion suites .the tower suites are 100 times better

Cons: Smoking

Cons: Extra charges for water, coffee.

Cons: New towels were not clean

Cons: No complaints

Cons: The bathrooms were small the carpets needed to be cleaned around the edges better the love seats needed to be replaced some looked old and tattered.

Cons: Very outdated. Uncomfortable bed. Stained couch. No outlets except in bathroom. Outdated bathroom.

Cons: Better check-in staffing on busy weekends. Only one person was there to check anyone in until they called a manager for someone that had a problem.

Cons: cigarette smoke in a nonsmoking room.

Cons: Staff

Cons: The fact that we requested housekeeping by leaving sign on door when we left room. When we returned ... no housekeeping ... had to call for trash to be emptied and fresh towels.

Cons: The service in just to get a room

Cons: At the front desk you will be surprised by additional fees that aren't mentioned while booking. The staff are unfriendly. The room's service was very bad.

Cons: Getting to our room with the challenge at times. Only one elevator working at one time and they were both slow. Our room have some small spots on the carpet but nothing that made it not want to stay there. While the water pressure was fine, the water was coming out more like a mist than the stream which made showering for my wife washing out conditioner from her hair a bit more difficult. I would have really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony on the 15th floor but the door was permanently shut with screws. Well I appreciated the super cold air conditioner from the heart Vegas heat it was difficult at times to get a perfect temperature we were either too hot or too cold.

Cons: Location of the room A/C heater and not sure if pulling fresh air from outside into the room. A suggestion for improvement for owners would be to check and maybe increase the air changes in the room.

Cons: Outside music ran until way after 2am and can hear in room.

Cons: It's very very aged. The room had a musty smell and it needed some upgrading.

Cons: called front desk told them toilet clogged she said she will send some one to fix. that was 6pm came back at 2am still not fixed had to call down again maintenance man came at 215am poor guy.

Cons: I booked online, and was offered an upgrade to a "Cabana Suite" for a holiday weekend. Mia culpa, I did not do extensive research since I know that a cabana is usually poolside and a suite is usually a large hotel room with a sitting area as well as a sleeping area. The El Cortez Cabana Suites are neither. It's an older looking motel that has had the name El Cortez slapped on it. My room was no more than a Motel 6 hotel room: a king bed, a chair, a desk with one of those metal-and-vinyl chairs you see in schools or churches, a dresser that you couldn't access because the mini fridge prevented the sliding doors from opening on one side (where the drawers were). The bathroom did have a nice shower, as some pointed out, but the location was behind the parking structure for the actual El Cortez Hotel. There was a security guard outside the door because the neighborhood was more than a tad sketchy. We couldn't have guests without coming to the lobby to open the door for them - they wouldn't buzz in our friends. When checking in (with bags in hand) they made me fish out my room key before buzzing me into the lobby; it was not very welcoming. Yes, there is candy on the lobby desk, but the person sitting at the desk almost didn't smile once in three days. Often at night it was a security guard talking on her phone with friends and didn't even look up to acknowledge us. I felt cheated out of a promise made by the name of the hotel - if you're going to offer someone who starts to book a room in the casino tower a "cabana suite" as an alternative, then it better have a pool or be an actual suite. A renovated Super 8 Motel is NOT what I think of when I read "El Cortez Cabana Suites". Had this hotel been $50 a night, I would have been tipped off, but at almost $200 a night for the holiday weekend (including their nightly "Resort Fee"), I was expecting MUCH more.

Cons: Couldn't open my curtains because windows face hallway.

Cons: The casino area smelled very bad and strong. To the point I was close to throwing up. Though once you are in your room that isn't a problem. The beds are very uncomfortable.

Cons: The price and the people playing rap music until 2:30 in the morning. I paid $73 on line for my room and when I got to the hotel I was told I would have to pay another $11 "resort fee" and a $40 deposit. I was awoke at 12:30 to the sound of rap music and assumed it was coming from Fremont Street. It woke me up again at 1:30 and again at 2:30. This time I had to call the front desk and complain. I guess they looked in to it because about twenty minutes later it stopped. I will never stay here again.

Cons: First I found a used blanket that has the smell of others on it, (sexual) . 2nd for dog poop under a chair,, seemed like it's been there for weeks. They moved me to another room and that too,, found some major issues, used condom,, behind the side table, , another under the dresser. The hotel didn't move me to anything better just from their cheat room to semi cheat room. They didn't refund any money nor comp anything for me.. they didn't even sound to concern of the the items I found.. These are serious health issues here and they didn't seem to concern.. I will not ever stay at this hotel.. I even left 3 days early,, and still have not received my refund for those days..

Cons: Noise level was high at times, the casino on the main floor smelled strongly of smoke and febreeze/air freshener. The ice machine may have been from when Bugsy owned the hotel. The $5 charge for Keureg coffee cups is ludicrous.

Cons: Elevator was very slow, felt like a Motel instead of a Hotel

Cons: Loud music on the street until 1 am

Cons: When I did check in, they did not have my reservation. I had to make a call to get them to contact the hotel, to get everything straight. I have never had this experience before. this was not a hotel error. This was an error of Kayak.

Cons: No refrigerator

Cons: Do not stay in the North tower, it is awful, desperately needs refurbishment, like going back in time about 50 years!

Cons: Nothing

Cons: the room was to small and the air system was poor.

Cons: Microwave and refrigerator in the room

Cons: Sometimes when you just want to stop and look at the surroundings.. there was nowhere to sit unless you wanted to sit at a slot machine. Rooms were dated, paintings were missing off the wall. But you only spend sleeping in the room so not a big deal.

Cons: Having a mini fridge would be amazing because the ice container is too small

Cons: The hallways and casino area had very strong cigarette smoke odors. At night the street noises were very loud and there is no way you could go to sleep before 1 am. In addition, the bed pillows were way too firm. Very hard to get comfortable and go to sleep.

Cons: The beds were worn out

Cons: Sometimes lengthy wait on elevators.

Cons: Stayed in December and no heater in the rooms.. Maintenance told us what do you expect from a 60 year old building. We were moved to the other tower with same results" no heat". Rooms were out dated and tiles were coming off in bath. Ceiling had water stains.. Not what you expect in a Vegas resort.

Cons: Are room had the an ac unit that was really noisy.

Cons: First day these the elevator in the parking lot wasn't working, had to use the stairs. The room smelled old and the music coming from Freemont street wouldn't let me sleep. Once the curtains were moved to look outside we found a McDonalds hash brown wrapper and pieces of has brown underneath giving us the impression that the room wasn't properly clean.

Cons: Even numbered rooms in North Tower can be a little noisy due to Fremont Street Experience being directly below - but hey, this is Vegas, who's in bed before 2am anyway? If you are a family with younger children this could be an issue though. You could try requesting a room in a quieter part of the hotel?

Cons: Employees were really rude

Cons: Access to parking. Access from the hotel lobby to the elevators was a maze through the casino.

Cons: The rooms are 30yrs old or more. The hallway carpet is nasty and all bubbled up. The doors to the rooms are beat up. There is zero space to be away from the smoke and casino. Even the Subway is in the middle of the casino floor. My kids got an education seeing someone passed out from alcohol poisoning getting wheeled up to their room! :(

Cons: I was given a smoking room, although I asked for a non-smoking room. I have stayed in the hotel in the past, several times, so at the very least, they should know my preferences. I was "upgraded" to a "suite." The "suite" was dinghy, ans smelled like poop!!!! When I complained and asked for another room, they said they cannot move me since their computers were offline. so they sent a housekeeper to spray my room. Thank goodness I only had to endure the room for 4 hours since I stayed up late, and had to leave early in the morning. The smell never left the room.... It was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel!!! Their only saving factor is their location and the price. And that's it!

Cons: The hotel facilities are a bit dated and the rooms could have been much cleaner.

Cons: water was off n on hot place stinks of cigs

Cons: Mattress was not comfortable....no conditioner....room smelled of smoke(non smoking room), way overpriced

Cons: Noise from Fremont strip.

Cons: Can hear the music till midnight on the week end in the North tower

Cons: Size of the room and bathroom, shower never got fully hot, the bed was old and lumpy, no workout room or gym.

Cons: Shower not hot a nuff

Cons: room was on Fremount St

Cons: Freezing cold air with zero options for heat/ the rude fat female Mexican front desk staff (the perpetual xitch face displayed by most undereducated las Vegas hotel industry women)/The room directly above the concert stage (earplugs given in room)/ The lack of attractive or tall men working at the property/No designated parking space levels for hotel guests/$9 wi-fi/cold air/super cold air/The front desk staff not being aware of temperature controls in room (how did YOU get your job?)$3 charge for parking/No private elevator from garage to hotel (must walk outside to get to check in)/The small town 80s look of the property/ Horrid cocktail waitress uniforms (not Vegas style or sexy or appealing)

Cons: I've spent plenty of time at the Four Queens over the years, but exclusively on the Casino floor. The environment was always friendly and their tables provided some of the best entertainment value in the city... On this occasion however I made the mistake of booking a room at the hotel. Within seconds of walking into our room we knew that we'd made a HUGE mistake. Though it was listed as clean, it was absolutely filthy. The beds were made, but pillows were strewn about. The carpet in both the hallway and the room hadn't been cleaned in weeks and there were dirty towels strewn about the bathroom. Bare in mind that had it even been clean, IN NO WAY did the room we entered resemble the pictures online, and this was in the "remodeled" tower. We left immediately and went downstairs to check out. They allowed us to do so but would not compensate us for any charges given that we'd purchased the room online. After contacting the Kayak vendor, we went back and forth for nearly 2 hours and the best they could do was to refund half of the purchase price. So essentially, I was forced to pay for a filthy room that I stayed in for a total of 5 minutes. Just don't do it... if you need to stay downtown go to the Nugget instead!

Cons: The room had a weird smell, not much of a view. And noises were constant.

Cons: Mold on ceiling

Cons: rooms are a bit dated but comfortable . charged for Wifi ten dollars a day seemed a bit much.

Cons: House keeping "Threw Away" My Rasberry Pi 3, the internet is wildly overpriced for 2016, They forced me to change rooms mid-stay. and Eric Eisenberg, Eric Eisenberg, Director Of Hotel Operations was completely unhelpful in compensating me for all that went wrong. His response to my missing hardware and move was "Can I buy you a coffee?" Just a nightmare but hey you get what you pay for....

Cons: The Registration area is like something from a youth houstel. it has a sign made of plastic hanging from twine. No one is happy

Cons: There was a leaking toilet, noises and keep us awake. Other than that it was ok.

Cons: Hotel registration is to slow. Restaurant is over priced. You can clearly hear outside noise inside your hotel room which makes it difficult to sleep. I would suggest another hotel to stay at.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Could use remodeling.

Cons: My wife and I usually spend 90% of our gaming time here due to the fact that my wife likes to play $3 blackjack, however, they never opened opened a $3 table. Not sure if they stopped the $3 blackjack completly or not. It was always a popular table. Not sure we will stay again as we like to start and end our day @ the tables.

Cons: Bad beds smokey smell everywhere rooms were smelly air conditioning did not work

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Mushy smell of cigarettes in the room.3 Super stuffed king size pillows rendered unusable.No decent window insulation you can hear the street noise all the way on the 7th floor. Level down this old buckled smoky thing and build nothing, orrr... keep squeezing the buck out of it like from a dying old horse.

Cons: no aiprot shuttle

Cons: that you can only ask for one extra pillow and it took forever to get it. and they need more 24 hour resturantes open. it was a busy weekend with concerts on fremont plus they had a craps tournament going and a huge line at their cafe at 3am. had to venture out to north vegas to get food cuz we didnt want to go back to fremont.

Cons: The valet and front desk personnel should smile more and remember that you need good personal skills in their field. All in all their service was good.

Cons: Been about 3 years since i last visited. I didn't realize that smoking was again allowed inside the Vegas casino's. That pretty much ruined it. I guess they need to do what ever they need to do to get business. So while understandable, not fun.

Cons: There was no microwave or coffee maker. I was kind of surprised by no coffee maker. I think curtains vs slats would be better for the window shades.

Cons: My first room was on a smoking floor. I had a headache all night. The shower was also clogged so I showered in pool by the end. I demanded to move rooms for my second night. The next room was on a non-smoking floor but it still smelled and ingot another headache. The shower in that room was also clogged and so was the sink. Both rooms had stains in several places too. The hotel itself caters to people from Hawaii, which I'm not. It can be a little alienating. It's also an older crowd and kind of sad. This is definitely no strip location. Fremont street is ok for a walk though.

Cons: The non smoking rooms smelt like cigarette smoke. Compared to a few other hotels, California was the worst. We expected smoke but it seemed like the ventilation needed some attention.

Cons: Bed was a bit hard and you could feel the springs. My AC ran all night to keep the room cool compared to my mother in laws room on the 19th floor. She had a newer ac system with a wall thermostat.

Cons: Rooms do need updating. We came with a large group and had quite a few rooms. Everyone ended up with some type of rash before leaving. Not sure if it was the hard water in the hotel, or whatever the sheets and blankets are being cleaned with.

Cons: The room appeared dated and the pillows smelled like smoke.

Cons: Hard to take a shower when the tub doesn't drain.
