If you are looking for a fair to decent room that won't break your budget this is a good place for your dollar.  We like to spend our money doing other things then just paying for a room.  If you like the atmosphere of the strip, don't stay here.  This is downtown.  It's a revamped old school Las Vegas when rooms, food and alcohol were cheap and you spent your money having fun.  These are the original vegas hotels some built in your great grandmother's time, they are not going to look like the Aria or Bellagio.  But for us our room was clean, the room was non-smoking and we could walk right across the street to Freemont Street, do people watching, eat cheap food, buy cheap liquor, listen to tunes and hang.  Good for old school vegas people, rockers, and adult getaways.  I'm also a parent, so I would advise staying someplace else if you have kids.
