Shalimar Hotel

Can’t give any more than one star. I was so disappointed to come to this hotel that I booked online and looked nice enough. When I came here in December, there was mosquitos in the room. The beds were very small, and God knows that dusts were coming out of the enormous A/​C. The room is small, no microwave, no refrigerator, the chars were disgusting to even look at. I couldn’t even sit on them or the bed. The bed comforters were so thin and it were burnt by ironing. The bathroom walls very stained all the way. Just horrible. The carpets were stained and dirty. It’s bad smelling. Just don’t go here I ended up changing my hotel right away. They charged me for the night.

This is the best value in Vegas. The staff is very accommodating. The concierge referred me to some first class entertainment venues. Room was spotless and very quiet. Rumor has it that Ricky Ricardo used to frequent their excellent Cuban restaurant. If you are in the mood for romance they have a very intimate wedding chapel on site. Howard Johnsons has always been an oasis in paradise for the weary traveler.
I was disappointed that there was no mint left under my pillow when I returned to my room.

Ants, gross carpet-​wore shoes whole time, phone didn’t work, beds very small… not queens, smelled of cigarettes everywhere, DOES NOT look like pictures, remote control and table had disgusting gunk all over it. I literally wiped down every surface before touching anything. We didn’t sleep in the beds.

HORRIBLE AND DIRTY!!! Save your money and don’t stay here! This place is NOTHING like the pictures!!! I read the reviews before booking there, but the pictures looks so nice that I decided to call the hotel and ask about the comments people were making on here. The owner said «please don’t listen to those. We have been in business for over 30 years and our rooms are very nice and clean». So, I decided to give it a try. I booked two rooms last Saturday night. I booked directly through the owner (at least she said she was the owner). She quoted me a price and said she would email me the confirmation, but I never received it. I called the following day and asked them to send again, but still no email. Now I know why… when I got there, they charged me $ 14 more for the room. I showed them my notes with the price and the name of the gal I made the reservation with. This time is was an older lady and she said she was the owner and that was her daughter-​in-​law and the price she quoted was wrong. At this time, without that email confirmation, I had no choice but to pay it. Once we got to the rooms, it was horrible!!! The bathroom was so dirty with holes in the walls and floors. I can’t believe they posted those pictures on the site… not even close! The blanket (the thin one) over the sheet was seriously dirty with stains, dirt, and hair. I called and asked for a clean blanket. The male owner came to my room and said «what’s your problem.» I showed him the dirty blanket and he said they did not have any more blankets but he would check housekeeping. I asked him how he can even use that dirty blanket. He said they do not clean the blankets after each guest visit. They clean them monthly but they do clean the sheets daily. What!!! He appeared shocked that I wanted a clean blanket. He brought me a couple of sheets and said they did not have any more blankets in housekeeping. The ceiling had huge water stains on it, it was stinky, and the bathroom was disgusting! Finally, they say they would have a microwave in the room, they lied there too! I warn you, don’t waste your money and sleep there!

This Hotel is located just a short walk to the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino area and The Arts District. It is a great value for the price. On a Sunday we got it for around $ 60 a night with no resort fee and free parking.
There is a Cuban restaurant called Florida Café Bar & Grill Bakery & Coffee Shop, an outdoor Swimming Pool, Guest Laundry, Wedding Chapel, Banquet Room.
We had booked it on Expedia for a room with a Queen bed but they gave us a room with a King bed. It were spacious with a nice size balcony facing the swimming pool area. It was quiet and I had no complain. I would def be back to this place if I need just a room to sleep in.

Cuban vibes to the core. If you want «5 star» feel you don’t pick a place like this… if you need a place to lock your stuff or a roof to cover your head for the night this is it. Bartenders, front desk, servers are all extremely friendly.
Michael at the bar is as real as they come. English is the second language so if you can’t handle that. Go elsewhere. I love to authentic feel of Cuba here.
Take it for what it’s worth. Live in the moment and smile… this place isn’t the MGM. but on a scale from 1 – 10 of real…10.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! Worst hotel room I have ever stayed at and I am not prissy at all! There was a live roach upon arrival and the water was coming out black! At checkout when I notified the employee about the roach his response was, «was it alive or dead??!», as if that matters. Put it this way I had to squat when I used the restroom & we used water bottles to brush our teeth! Only giving one star because it is the least we can do !

User Ramona M. is a LIAR! The picture posted are NOT the Shalimar Hotel. Those room would be great, the rooms we got looked nothing like that, they were MUCH MUCH WORSE!
We spent $ 88 for a complete $hithole. Any further description would be a waste of time but
don’t take my word for it, as you yourself drive from the airport onto Las Vegas blvd toward the Shalimar Hotel you’ll see exactly were you are getting to… believe that gut feeling of yours and either keep going or turn back.

Our stay at this «hotel» was less than satisfactory to say the least. The first room that they gave us stunk strongly of weed and the air conditioning was not operational. We told them about it so they gave us another room. This room had working air conditioning but the carpet was dirty and it looked unsanitary. The beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. The entire hotel itself was disgusting and had a weird aroma. Both of the rooms didn’t have soap and only came with two little bottles of shampoo. If you’re thinking about spending the 70 dollars a night to stay here, you’d be better off sleeping in your car. Don’t let the pictures deserve you.
