we stayed here in march this year. it is great, no check in time, what we saw at the greater hotels on the strip.
it is only a few steps away from the strip and the busstop.
around the corner there is a walgreen and a dennies. and a lot of souveniershops.
the riviera is only 3 minuts away.
we were from the netherlands and stayen in our big rooms only the morning and the night to sleep. all the personal was verry kind asking for an other rooms was not difficult.
if were going again to LV, then surthenly to this motel/motel.
and ther is always thea and coffee in the loby and indeed free wireless internet.

We read reviews on this place before choosing it, so we knew we weren't heading for the Taj Mahal or anything. We booked it through Travelocity. Our check-in was completed by a young woman on the phone the whole time, without any real professionalism or greeting.

Our room, however, was clean, spacious, conveniently located and most importantly to us, quiet. There's a 24 hour Walgreens down the street, as well as a 24 hour food court in the Riviera Hotel, which is not a far walk. There's a Denny's nearby also. We bought food at the Walgreens and were able to keep stuff in the mini fridge the Villa Roma provided. There is a microwave in the lobby.

We woke up the first morning of our stay and there was no hot water. We were informed the hot water tank broke and they moved us to another room, which had a different tank connection. I started packing our stuff and my husband checked the water in the second room. It also lacked hot water, so we were given another room to move to. We moved all our stuff to the new room and went out for the day.

The next day, all the water in the whole hotel was shut off. Originally they said it would be fixed at 3pm. We came back to the hotel around 6pm to a hoard of angry guests in the lobby complaining about the lack of water. After we had been moved out of our rooms, the hotel continued to check people into the very same rooms we were moved from, knowing there was no hot water.

My husband and I called Travelocity to arrange a refund and we checked out of the hotel early, not wanting to have to worry about hot water for the rest of our vacation.

If it weren't for the hot water issue, we would have stayed at the Villa Roma. It was nothing special, but it was cheap and convenient, not far from the Strip.

We did not use the pool (it was much too cold when we were there) but it was clean.

"Rooms have all been remodeled, are clean and very big. For the price it is great! No fancy extras though if you are looking for that kind of thing. Only a block off the Strip so easy to get to as it is right before the Rivera as you head north on Las Vegas Blvd. There is a Walgreens, Dennys & the Peppermill restaurant all within a block which was nice.

We actually took the City Bus(the 108) from the airport (ask for directions of how to find the stop at the airport as it is kinda tucked away on the 'Zero Floor') to the Convention Center and walked the block and half to the hotel only a $1.25 each! Great deal if you are looking to save your money for gambling or food. =) It takes some time though on the bus, so if you are in a hurry to check in, take a taxi."

Feb 2008 for 3 nights
Since it was winter could not use the pool but I guess I would not have used it anyway, it's not tempting: small and caged, not many room for sunbathing.
The frontdesk attendants were incredibly helpful!
Complimentary coffe is ok.
Be aware that the wi-fi internet access is only available at the lobby, they should change that to the entire motel. I don't see the difficult of that. However, it worked ok.
Stayed in a single king sized bed, non smoker. It was clean, no smell, and huge. Heard no noises, great!
Bathroom was very nice!
Roomservice was excellent.
Half block away from the strip.
Excellent for the price we payed!
