the room was spacious, clean, dust free and welcoming. It smelled fresh. The bath was also very clean. You get two small soaps and one tiny bottle of shampoo.
The strip is just a little bit of a walk. The Circus Circus Hotel/Casino is the closest one to this hotel. I would definitely stay here again. Its hassle free. My room did not have a fridge. Next that i stay...i will ask for one. Walgreens,Dennys, Indoor Skydiving and Ross stores are within walking distance. Another helpful idea is paying $7.00 for the shuttle and it will take you where you want all day for the same price. No regrets!

I would say "not too bad". Very close to the strip. Very good price. Clean room. Nice pool. Only breakfast was below average. People were helpful and kind. Thanks to the Tripadvisor members for sharing their experience. It helped to make the right choice.

I booked a room well in advance, so I got very decent rate.
Rooms were impressively spacious (I have read somewhere, that it used to be Best Western), but they were missing firidge, coffee maker and microwave, typical for other Rodeway Inns. OK, as we changed the room I saw a fridge in one of the other rooms, so I guess it depends. Rooms were clean, perhaps not quite spotless, but acceptable.
The room we got initially (just after the reception) was adjacent to some VERY noisy fan located in the next building, but I asked for another room and we got it. On the other side of the building there is some restaurant, but fans were not that noisy, so it was ok.
The staff was OK, but you would not call them friendly nor very helpful.
Breakfast was poor comparing to other motels - just coffee, cereals with milk and some danish.
Location is fair - half a block away from Las Vegas Blvd. About 1-2 blocks from Riviera, Circus Circus and Encore. Sahara is about 3 blocks away. Taxi to the Bellagio area was about 12USD.
There is also a small pool, did not use, but we've seen some teenagers jumping into it. (It was about 70F at that time).

Upside: cheap, reasonably friendly staff, fairly good location (a half-hour walk to the center Strip), easy access to transportation, good ammenities in the block (Wallgreens, souvenirs, 7-eleven...), parking , internet and breakfast included.

Downside: a bit stinky, no frig, only a small shampoo bottle, someone passing by your only window every now and then, no elevators (2 floors), tiny breakfast room (you might need to wait to sit in the coldest days, when eating outside is not possible), very simple breakfast.

Bottom line: do not come if a bit of comfort is more important than saving.
