I was looking for a weekend away from Las Vegas and went to Boulder City. This motel is in the Historic Downtown and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and bars. The room was quiet and clean and the lady at the front desk was very helpful

Very nice clean and quiet motel just off the main street thru town. It appears newly renovated. Our unit with twin queens had a separate room which had a refrigerator freezer coffee maker and microwave. The room was quiet, even when a douche bag came in after 11 pm slamming doors and talking loud we just heard muffled noise. The central location to many restaurants was a plus. When we return we will gladly return.

This motel was great, at least in the room I stayed in. It was really big, a firm bed, and a cute little fridge. The lights flickered a little bit but straightened out after remaining on. The bathroom had a fan that struggled a bit and I did have a bit of struggle figuring out the tap on the shower. But overall the stay was fantastic and the lady did ask if there was anything she can do for me when she caught me outside.

neo-retro, with a small and dark shower.

The room was comfortable, clean, and nicely equipped. My only criticism is the bathroom is small, with a tiny unlit shower stall. Considering how spacious the room is, the bathroom surprised us.

The rooms are remodeled. This motel is on the road in “historic” part of town. There are several nice restaurants within 3 minute walk. Parking lot is big and you can part in front of your room which is great for those, like me, riding a motorcycle. And the “price point” is great. Much better quality rooms than typical branded low end hotels.
