After reading some reviews we stil decided to stay at this Howard Johnson. I didn't expect much...BUT I was surprised when I got to the hotel!!.  I had originally booked this hotel for 1 day. I ended up staying for a week. Staff was very friendly and helpful specially the manager Omid. For the price this hotel was outstanding, they have a huge lobby and a very nice Cuban restaurant. My room was clean and was very spacious with a balcony and free internet. was very spacious with a balcony and free internet. internet. Location was ok; the hotel is conveniently located between Las Vegas Strip and Downtown, just 5 to 10 minutes away from the main casinos and parking is free everywhere. For what we paid we felt like it was a great deal. I would definitely consider staying here again. We were very pleased with our stay.

The services were okay, did not like the room at all.
The location was too far from the strip.
Needs a lot of work! Was rather old and seedy:(

This was the worst place I have ever stayed in Las Vegas. Parking is outback and you must walk around the building to enter. In the most dangerous place in town employees warn not to walk alone. Rooms are clean but the cock roaches will keep you busy trying to avoid them.
Facilities close at 10pm and doesn't open untill 9am. Place is surrounded by strip clubs so it's not a good place for a family visit. Only good thing about the place was the Las Vegas police occupied the sidewalk in front of the building after dark.

We chose to stay here because we were driving home from california and got tired on the drive, we didnt need anything too extravegant, we were only going to spend the evening there and then wake up early and get back on the road. The lobby was nice and the price was right., but we were quickly dissapointed when we were put on the 3rd floor and it took forever to go through all these hallways that were about 95 degrees. Our room, when we arrived was so unbearabley hot we had to stand on our balcony. We could not get the air to turn on so we had to call maintanence to get it it running, and it took at least an hour for the room to get remotely comfortable. We turned down the bed and there was long hairs in the sheets like they were not changed from the last visitors. There was no clock anywhere in the room, the tv speakers were blown, and the corners or the rooms where filled with dirt. The worst of the night was that the people next to us were so loud and going in and out of the hallway slamming their door so loud! Time after time this went on through the night, and then at 4am they are screaming so loudly at each other that we can hear word for word what they are fighting about,. the police came and handled the situation. But overall the location seemed a little dangeous and as a woman i was not comfortable to even leave the room.
