When choosing a hotel you have to ask yourself what is it I am looking for. Vegas especially offers a very wide array of choices, so you really need to ask that all important question. Do you want glitz and glamor, pretty people and high end entertainment, spas and shopping? If so then the strip is the place to be. If I were treating myself and my wife to a fun vacation trip probably that's where we would head. Or if we were looking for just a basic, more budget minded, gamble a little play a little trip, then downtown might be our choice.

This trip was a business trip, and downtown was simply more convenient, to say nothing of less costly. This was my first stay at the Fremont and it fit the bill very nicely, thank you. The room while not large was more than adequate. It was clean, as has been mentioned in some other reviews, tastefully redecorated recently. It was a nonsmoking room/floor and I didn't detect any smoke odor in the room although a little from the main floor does make it's way into the hall around the elevator. The bed, pillows and bedding were comfortable. The bath room was small, while I had no problems, it is a one person at a time proposition. Loved the water pressure, huge plus for me. Restauranting downtown offers a pretty wide choice, I opt mostly for sandwiches etc when not entertaining. People-watching under the canopy of the Fremont Experience is almost as good as any number of the shows one can see on the strip. But as I have said this was first and foremost a business trip. The staff was extremely friendly did their job well. Housekeeping missed servicing my in-room coffee, front desk handled it in a timely fashion. Check out was a little slow with only one person on station.

Al in all have to give it a thumbs up. Not fancy, but the equal of any mid-range Motel chain. I booked as a Flight/Hotel package and was very pleased with the great value for the money.

We stopped by here on our last day of gambling to experience Fremont street... I said and played roulette for a few hours and had a pretty good time... The downer for me was the Angry looking little men ( the Pit Bosses) that kept yelling at people and complaining about their jobs to each other... It ruins the fun if you keep getting distracted by grumps.. I would've stayed and played a lot longer if the mood had been more fun..

We recently stayed at the Fremont Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. Although the property is old since it goes back to Vega's origins, it's still a nice play to stay. If you are looking for luxury then look someplace else. If you are looking for an inexpensive fun place then this is the place for you. The rooms are cozy and clean. The TV is old but we only watched the news while we got ready to go gamble, eat or cruise around downtown. Downtown is great and a lot different than the glizy strip but it's still a lot of fun and the casinos are close to each other. The casino is small but the dealers are fun and friendly. We even played $3 craps and blackjack.

This is one of the best locations in Vegas, if you want to stay downtown. I LOVE downtown, and the Fremont is always my first choice. I stayed there three times in 2011, and expect at least twice in 2012.

The rooms are small, but have always been clean, and well kept. The staff is friendly enough at check-in, we always use video check-out. I don't go to Vegas to watch TV, so I don't care about that.

The food is fine. There is a little food court with a Duncan Donuts, and Lanai express for a quick bite, and they have a candy shop in the back that is good. Tony Roma's has nightly specials, and late night specials. Never taken the time to eat that the diner. The buffet is fine for the price. Certainly beats the over priced buffets on the strip.

The biggest draw of this hotel? THE LOCATION! You are right in the center of Fremont Street, for a reasonable price.

If you are expecting a suite on the strip then this is not the place for you, but if you want a good value, clean room, and great location, Fremont Hotel and Casino is perfect.
