Las Vegas hotels in Downtown

Cons: Beer selection at the main Video Poker bar. Need draft beers and a better variety.

Cons: The facilities.

Cons: Showers, not tubs, but glass does not slide to close

Cons: Needs a coffee shop

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

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

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 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: There was nothing we did not like

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: 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: 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: The showers are a little odd, with their half-glass "door", and the water pressure left a bit to be desired. But the cleanliness more than made up for it!

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

Cons: There wasn’t much I disliked, about the hotel honestly. I can’t even complain, the only thing I can say when all guest check in give a guide of everything in the hotel. I didn’t mind walking around though, for real the hotel was really nice.

Cons: They put us on the 18th floor, which is the top and by the elevator... it was a Monday/Tuesday booking, the hotel was not busy. We had to deal with a warm room due to the fact it was the top floor, and elevator noise all night, it sounded like there was a trash truck outside our window all night, made it difficult to get to sleep.

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: I don't like hard, overstuffed pillows for sleep. Ask for soft and flat at check in as they have them available.

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: the long walk from the lobby to the rooms in the tower.

Cons: Next to smoking room

Cons: It does not have breakfast

Cons: Enjoyed my stay.

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

Cons: It was excellentNancy

Cons: Public hair found in shower

Cons: Stuffy odor

Cons: no conplaints

Cons: check out lady

Cons: Everything

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: Dated furnishings and tricky to know how to run the elevator.

Cons: They are not organized at all.

Cons: New towels were not clean

Cons: Smoking

Cons: They got rid of kareoke.

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: I missed having a microwave in the room (was expecting one). No popcorn at night.

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

Cons: Rude registration staff, unfriendly bar staff and put in smoking room after requesting non-smoking room.

Cons: There wasnt anything i didnt like there is nothing baf to say about this hotel and casino

Cons: The staff was absolutely horrible and unfriendly. Beware of hidden fees NOT visible in the fine print.

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: 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: no free wi-fi

Cons: Very noizy.

Cons: Showers in the rooms did not regulate temperature.

Cons: no coffee machine, no internet, shutter on windows so room was not dark and could hear freeway traffic

Cons: Minor fault which plagues almost all of Vegas, strictly Pepsi products, no Coke.

Cons: No free wi-fi, no free water or coffee. Sketchy neighborhood.

Cons: The free buffet in the morning.. Awesome

Cons: Requested non-smoking room which I verified again upon check in at front desk. The clerk even dblchked w/me on non-smoking preference. Got assigned a smoking room on the 15th floor which I didn't realize till the smoke came whiffing down the hallway couple of days later when new guests choked in on the floor. Housecleaning had to open the exit doors at both end of the hallway to get fresh air in and smoke out. Found the remainder of my week's stay irritating dealing w/the smell but had situated myself in the room already, thus, did not want to move rooms. Brought to front desk attention upon chk out and not even a apology. Her attitude was like "Oh Well"

Cons: No continental breakfast. Channels on the TV sucked. Wifi was not free and worse super expensive.

Cons: It takes a very long time to validate parking everytime we return... Constant waiting in lines and waiting on staff to overlook the ticket... Took much longer then it should have twice a day.

Cons: The dirty room. Woke up with red puffy face from all the dust in the room.

Cons: Our room faced the freeway which was very loud. It's a few blocks away from Fremont street, which is okay during the day, but would not want to walk alone at night. Fortunately, I could cut through the California most of the way.

Cons: Noisy room if you are on the fwy side.

Cons: you can't get away from the smoke. I don't smoke and it still permeates the building they still allow smoking in the casinos.

Cons: Very close from train tracks, trains woke me up several times at night night. The hotel (at least the rooms that face rail tracks), doesn't serve its primary purpose of providing quiet sleep conditions Bathroom fixtures haven't been updated for a very long time, shower was difficult to adjust

Cons: -Was forced into a smoking room -night time clerk was really rude -showers are luke warm -pillows and sheets smelled of cigarettes -

Cons: Did not have a sports book, but there are others close by.

Cons: Showerhead is chest level.

Cons: shower heads are placed low, no blackout curtains.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: No refrigerator

Cons: They never refunded my security deposit of 25.00 dollars.

Cons: room was on Fremount St

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

Cons: No pool No massage services

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: Shower didn't work, unbearable noise from the street until midnight (they actually provided earplugs - instead of mints). Foul odor in hallway and room. Anything extra (refrigerator, decent TV channels, etc.) would cost extra. You get what you pay for - not much!

Cons: That when it says "free cancelation included" it's not really free. It should be more clear with the rules on the "free cancelation policy" and maybe have the rules right next to it in parentheses, instead of at the bottom of the page. Kind of sneaky how it's placed.

Cons: No gym , pool was not on property , older hotel

Cons: PRICE

Cons: Employees were really rude

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: It’s a little loud at night when going to bed but hey your in Vegas.

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: The hotel is going through a remodel during my stay therefore it was very load

Cons: Casino took my money haha.

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: Sometimes lengthy wait on elevators.

Cons: The rooms cleaner they smelt bad

Cons: Morning service for a cup of coffee would be nice

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: Even on the 16th floor, the noise from Fremont Experience could be annoying. But on the weeknights during which we stayed, it quieted down considerably after midnight. So overall, it proved not to be an issue.

Cons: Microwave and refrigerator in the room

Cons: If you are low in the hotel or on the Freemont side, you will hear the noise till the bands quit playing.

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: 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: Had my room over the Freemont concert stage, music was really loud until well past midnight

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

Cons: I didn't like anything about the 4 queens in would never stay there again

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