This hotel is now called "Fortune Hotel and Suites" - so hopefully it'll be updated soon so that people can find the reviews (as I was unable to do before booking, unfortunately).PROS: - Cheap for its location (near the strip, but barely within walking distance, better off hailing a cab out front).- Smoke-Free and Casino Free - a (relatively) quiet place to retreat to after a crazy night on the strip.- Family friendly (if that's a pro for you - personally do not prefer the abundance of children, but they didn't bother us either)- Air conditioning (once you get it started) works like a champ and is not too loud. - Decent sized room (for the money) with a refrigerator and mini kitchenette area separate from the bathroom. Nice sized vanity/dressing area also separate from the bathroom. - Free ParkingCONS: - Check-in took forever. There were only 2 couples in line in front of us, yet we stood there for a good 20 minutes. They had only one woman who knew what she was doing (Skip, and she was awesome!) and actually checking people in, while some other guy (manager? relative of the owner?) buzzed around her and even jumped in to "help" and messed things up. While we were standing there, someone who'd just checked in came back to say they had been checked into a dirty room, so that took even longer.- You may walk in on someone or have someone walk in on you. Remember that guy buzzing around? He actually jumped in (without her asking) during check-in and issued us a room key while she was finishing the computer work. ...a room key for a different room than she had checked us into. Luckily we had read the reviews on the travel agent's site and seen that several people had this same problem and actually walked in on people, so we were on guard and caught this, and Skip fixed it for us before walking away from the counter. We kept the deadbolt locked the entire time we were in the room in case they issued our keys to someone else later.- The cleanliness is iffy. Our bedding and towels were clean and crisp, but the floor was not vacuumed (as evidenced by the remnants of orange crackers crushed into the carpet from the previous occupants), walls were dirty.- The parking is not in a covered or secured lot.CONCLUSION:This was a clean(ish), safe place to stay for pretty cheap, and other than the delayed checkin, we had no problems. I've been in some MUCH WORSE hotels in Vegas for this price (bugs and nasty stains), so relatively speaking, it could have been worse. Would I stay here again? Not if I could afford it. But if it's all I could afford and it was a trip out of necessity, I would probably do it again. I understand the hotel is under new management and that may be the source of the service/cleanliness problems we encountered, maybe they haven't figured it out yet... Hopefully they'll get it together because the in theory a cheap smoke free hotel near the strip would be a great place to stay.

This place is called fortune hotel and I dont recommend it at all very ugly room old bed and nasty carpet. I paid for two nights but left after one night due to how unsatisfied I was. Also the pictures they use of the room look nothing like it.

When bf's closest guy friend was in town for work, and we needed a cheap place to stay that was close to the Convention Center, we found this on Expedia. From the looks of other reviews here, rooms usually go for less than the $86/night we paid, but there was a convention going on so that might have driven the prices up for this weekend.We checked in super late on a Friday night, and parked pretty easily near our room. An elevator took us up to our floor, and our room was right down the hall. When we walked in, the room was HOT - almost like the heat had been on, blah. It took a while for the room air conditioner to cool down our relatively small room, especially since the drapes in the closed position blocked the cool air's flow into the room.The room itself was decent - a tube tv, 2 queen beds, coffee maker, fridge, little bar sink in the main part, a closet area with a makeup mirror and table, etc. The beds were decent - the covers were duvets, so they likely get washed more than the traditional crappy bedspreads hotels have. The bed we slept in looked pretty clean, but the other one's duvet had some questionable-looking stains on it.Other than us getting short-toweled (small face towels) til the maid cleaned our room the next day, the room was what we needed - close to everything but off the crazy strip, fridge, mostly comfy bed, hair dryer, free parking. Wifi wasn't free, but it's okay. They had a shuttle to take people to the Convention Center and The Flamingo that we didn't take advantage of, but was nice to know.I'd stay here again - especially if the rate was as low as other reviews say. But next time, I'd ask for a room with a king sized bed.

Not bad and not the best that is the best way to describe the hotel. Located about two blocks off the main strip it is an alright location and the right price. When compared to some of the other hotels on the strip this hotel isn't much to look at, but when you are just using it as a place to sleep it more than passes. We stayed in the King Suite which had two tv's, and a jacuzzi/shower combo it was pretty good especially for the weekend we paid about $70 a night. Included with all of this was also a complimentary continental breakfast which had eggs, sausage, coffee, juice, pastries, and even a waffle maker. So while not the best this place definitely had good value and a good price. If you are looking for a place just to sleep for a good price consider this place as I know I will the next time I go to Vegas.

Not the fanciest Hotel in Vegas, But was pretty decent. It was a few blocks from the strip, so it's within walking distance.... Not that I ever walked it!I had no issues, and it is in a great location. target and Starbucks are right down the street. there are restaurants all around.i would stay here again.minus 1 star just cause it could use some remodeling....

Oh helllll no. This is just some dive waiting to be condemned. We got a suite on the first floor in building #2. It looked nice at first, jacuzzi tub, mini fridge, small kitchen, two tvs, etc. The bed is harder than the floor. I asked for two blankets to put on it for some additional padding and stepped outside to smoke, my key didn't work in the door so we had to walk around the building to get back in. We got back to our room (it smells like kitty litter) and started to remake the bed. There is cheese under the fitted sheet. Yes cheese. Looks like Colby jack, not sure exactly. No mattress pad. I was really excited to take a jacuzzi bath with my boyfriend, until he noticed long brown hairs in it.If rather sleep in the car if this wasn't in such a bad area in Las Vegas. I'm really looking forward to the continental breakfast in the morning. I'm pretty sure they serve cheese.

ok, you have to understand this hotel is a blast from the past ... the whole place looks really 80s, which is kinda funny. laminate green marble graces the elevator, a tacky, teal, abstract, plastic stained glass work of art is the focal point at the front desk. a grand staircase in green with a non-working water feature complete the lobby. i would venture to guess no renovation has been done since the place was built. the room was definitely older, with outdated furniture and bathroom decor, but it was functional and clean. very clean. there was new bedding on the bed ... triple sheeting with a duvet instead of a hideous polyester quilted thing. the bathroom towels looked really old but they did the job. the pool area was filthy and the pool ice cold, but when it is 100+ in vegas, ice cold is a good thing. the hotel itself was very humid, but the in-room a/c worked well.the barely off-strip location is really, really excellent - it was only a short walk or cab ride to the strip. the hard rock hotel was very quick walk away, as was terrible's. we've been traveling a lot lately, and really needed to do a vegas weekend on a budget, hence our hotel selection. but seriously, if you can do without the newest room and the greatest amenities and just need a place to crash for a couple nights, this place does the job.

Perfect place to stay with a family and kids. Close to the strip but also convenient to stores and restaurants (like Target, Starbucks, IHOP, etc.) The kids loved the pool with the fountain and the rooms were secure as you had to use your key to get into the separate buildings. It is a bit noisy with all of the families, but since we had kids with us, we just adjusted and remembered that kids are fun and noisy :-) We'll stay here again when we go to Vegas.

I was expecting the same service as last time my husband and I went in January, but it didn't turn out that way. We stayed a little longer this time, compared to one night last time. But my husband really enjoyed his stay in Jan., so I booked our room for the Yelp Spring Break. We got to check in early, which was nice cause we had been up since 2am and we wanted to take a nap before going to the Cathouse. When we arrived in our hot tub suite and I laid my head on the pillow, I was about to close my eyes when I jumped up after seeing a little tiny bug. Now, it could have been a bug from the window cause it was windy outside, but we were not going to take any chances. So, we had to move rooms. But we got the bottom floor hot tub room and that worked out better. The rooms are old school 80s style. Nothing fancy. Beds are super comfy. Didn't have a lot of room to set my clothes down on. It had a closet, but when I'm on vacation I do not want to hang up my clothes. We stayed for about 3 nights. Location of the hotel was good for the plans we had. Hot breakfast was still good and our man Jason was still working there. He's so nice. Now the one day I wanted to go swimming and the pool was cold, the water was clear BUT the pool was dirty at the bottom, like a lot of dirt. So, no relaxing swim for me on my vacation. The AC was near the top of the ceiling which was weird to me, but it went out on us a couple of times, but the maint guy was super fast to the rescue. The price was good for the three nights, and they did comp one night for having to move us due to buggies and for the AC issues. That was nice and that's why I gave 3 stars. I would recommend this place, if you are on a low budget like I was.
