our prior experience in LV was at the Cosmopolitian, so this was quite a contrast, but I enjoyed "the Cal" a lot. Very friendly and helpful front desk. Belldesk helped us secure a (free) wheelchair and rent a power scooter (very reasonably priced). Rooms were simple (like a Holiday Inn Express), clean and more spacious than expected.

Housekeeping staff is very friendly and accomodating to our needs. front desk efficient and accurate. Checking in and out fast. Bathroom size was small but okay for our needs. in room refrigerator was nice. We loved the ox tail soup @ the market Street cafe, but the waffles was cold like it was frozen type. We are non smokers so... More

Don't know anyone outside of my family who doesn't stay here...everyone does. We got a good rate through hotels.com. Got a nice room down the end of the hall so no noise from people coming in and out of the elevator. Our favorite place to eat. Korean chicken upstairs is the bomb. I wait all year for it or have...

I have been downtown before and while I like Fremont Street, some of the hotels in the area have a reputation for being mediocre and even "trashy". I was pleased to stay at the Hotel California. It appeared that the room... More

I had read several mixed reviews about The Cal before I booked the rooms. I spoke with a girl a the front desk named Erlinda before I booked. She was very helpful and patient with all my questions. They do not allow the front desk to make any promises before you show up, but she gave me some great tips.... More

Easy to get comps for food and rooms,no pressure to play alot of money

I stayed for three nights during the CES convention (busiest time during the entire year for Las Vegas). The hotel is within 2 blocks of the Fremont Experience and the SDX bus stop. Although there are a couple of homeless people walking around in the neighborhood (the same can be said for all the hotels in the area), the hotel... More

Pros: the price is right, although a fellow visitor told me to try the 4 Queens for value. Room was clean, a problem with housekeeping was resolved professionally. Editorial comment: Hawaii people, you have to complain if there's a problem. Don't be so nice. You'll just prolong the problem. Staff attentive. Good location, near Fremont Experience. Good place for Hawaii... More
