Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 22, 2008

The location was in a very questionable neighborhood, and rather hard to find (off the street). There were no amenities within walking distance (except a strip club!). The staff was very nice and courteous, however, but I would still not recommend it to anyone due to the location.

Reviewed by Virginia of Bean Station on May 31, 2008

It is located on a back street in a questionable location. The back is ajacent to I-15 with constant traffic with a "BULLET HOLE" in the window. The 1st room we were given still had occupants in the room. The 2nd room we were given the door key DID NOT WORK and we were treated as if we were at fault. When we tried to locate an Ice Machine we had to go to desk and they went in the back and got us a half of a bucket of ice. We made sure we got in before dark and left early the next morning.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 7, 2008

I went hoping for a clean and confortable place to stay for a few days on my trip. What I got was a run down hotel. Thou the room was semi clean, the shower was dirty and the drain plate needed to be replaced. Maid service came into room while I was in the shower and my friend asleep at 9am. Cause we werent ready for them to make up our room, we didnt get clean towels for the remaining part of the weekend. All soda machine where out of order. Unbelievable!! For the rate that I paid, I could have stayed somewhere else and had a better quality. If I hadnt have pre-paid with a no money back deal, I would have left the first hr i was there.

Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Bad location"

Reviewed by Kelly of Grangeville on Apr 2, 2008

Despite the fact that the Palace Station is right across the street, no one in the area, including the cab drivers, could find the hotel. Having two names (The Vagabond INN and Sahara Westwood) didn't help matters. Going by the address didn't help either, as the side street seems to be unheard of. The hotel was fairly clean, but had no working vending machines. There are no restaurants close by, and calling for delivery was a challenge because of the above-mentioned dilemna. The staff was friendly and the rooms included soaps, coffee pots, hair dryers, and a safe (if you can figure out how to operate it.) I may stay there again, but for the price (around $50.00 per night) I bet I could find a better deal in Vegas.

We were not satisfied with this hotel at all. There is nothing (food, gambling, etc.) within walking distance, but you probably don't want to walk in this area at night anyway. The pool was out of service and the rooms have not been upgraded at all. There was no phone in our room, the beds were uncomfortable and the shower was hard to turn off, then still leaked. You can hear the freeway through the windows all night too. You can find something better for the same price.

The hotel was under renovation, but more than adequate for my needs (a comfortable and quiet place to sleep). The hotel was off the beaten path but not inconvenient at all. I am very pleased with my weekend stay. Had I been traveling with my family (wife and kids) I would have chosen differently to begin with. This was a no frills endeavor with quick access to non-casino eateries and the Interstate. I would definitely stay here again.
