California Hotel and Casino

I wish all the casinos would go to non-smoking - who smokes anymore? - the smell is nasty and taints the hotel lobbies through and through. That being said, we like the California Hotel, it, like the other downtown hotels, seems to relish in the Las Vegas style of old; outrageous marquis lights displays that are almost like works of art, fun and lively vintage style on the exteriors, as opposed to the dumb theme park gimmicks of most properties on the strip. The Fremont Street Experience is totally lame and vulgar, they should remove that light show canopy and let the casinos relish in their period style, but on the street beyond the 'experience' are some good restaurants that are proving that Las Vegas can be a real city also if it wants to. Our room in the California was modern, well appointed, and clean. There were no weird odors of sewer pipe and such like you hear about in reviews of other downtown hotels. There were a few articles of clothing left behind by a previous guest and overlooked by the cleaning staff. This freaked out my wife. We were actually just passing through, but you can get a lot of comfort for your money in a Las Vegas hotel on the right night.

Room didnt seem like it was vacuumed upon check in. Crumbs around the chair. An average stay for an average rated hotel.

It was great. The room was nice and clean. Me and my family have a fun time at the casino.

Pool is closed, but that was not mentioned. A dirty washcloth was on the dresser in the room. They are doing a great job being safe and sanitary, though. Check in was a hassle; I had to check out and check back in for my second night.

If you want to be downtown Las Vegas this is a very good choice. It’s in a good location only a couple of blocks from Fremont Street.

First time I've ever stayed here but I enjoyed it very much. Friendly staff. Would give 5 stars but for the fact I have 2 movie charges I did not use. How can I watch a movie at at 3:54pm and another at 4:17. I was told I had to accept 3 times which I didn't do. Anyway great stay, if I do ever stay again I might just not touch the tv.

I was pleasantly surprised on how nice this hotel was. The rooms are big, nice, clean, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent personal, they are very friendly and nice! I lake de hotel

The awful people were unique, security was unique... how much would you like to pay the unique residents and workers of vegas to know youre a nuisance?
