Pros

Within 0.3-0.5 miles of multiple dining options including Kanpai Sushi, Roberto's Taco Shop, and The Habit Burger Grill

Walking distance to major casinos along North Virginia and North Sierra Streets

1 mile from cultural attractions like Nevada Museum of Art with its sculpture gardens

Cons

4 miles distance from the airport requires transportation planning

Limited on-site amenities compared to nearby casino resorts

“Staying here could be a gamble. Limited parking might mean a long walk after a night out, and thin walls mean you're at the mercy of other guests. While budget-friendly, reports of cleanliness issues and safety concerns suggest weighing costs carefully against peace of mind.”
