If you are looking for a place with a ton of amenities on site then you won't want to stay here. If though you are looking for a clean room with a nice little pool for the kids then this is the place. The room was extremely cheap and was right in the middle of everything so if you enjoy a nice walk and shopping at all the stores this is the perfect place.

Travelodge was a very clean and reasonably priced room. They quickly and efficiently got us a room. We tried to stay at the quality inn across the street to only find they were gouging prices and did not honor their web pricing. Thank you Travelodge we will be back and will share our experiences.

Last minute find for us late at night but it was pretty nice after a long drive. The jacuzzi tub in an entirely separate room was awesome!! Very relaxing! Beds were kinda hard but not a deal breaker! Would stay again!

The room itself was fine. The bed was mildly uncomfortable due to it sitting on something metal, and the mini fridge didn't work. Otherwise, I have no complaints. The price is decent for the location, considering it's right on the strip. But try to plan your stay when it's not going to be extremely busy, because you'll have a very difficult time trying to get out of the parking lot

We enjoyed our stay. The gentleman that checked us in was friendly and they were fine with us arriving at 11:30 pm. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. You can hear traffic but that is no big deal for us we knew it would happen being on the main strip. We saw no bugs at all in the room which is great. We will definitely stay again when we come back in November.

The room is clean and you have what you need. No extra's. The bathroom is a little dated but clean.

Hotel was good.. Rooms clean. Bed was noisy when you got on and off it. Good parking and quiet. Good location. Make sure you use a credit card not a debit card as they will charge you $50 extra over the price you pay to Capital One Travel. In my case they had a system error which resulted in a $100 charge. Will give credit where it's due that the hotel manager did call and tell me about the extra charge.
