We were late at check but being greeted by your warm smiles and bright personality put us at ease. The room was awsome. We were impressed with the kitchenette. The single electric cook top, mini-fridge, commercial style sprayer for the sink, and microwave. All made staying there A LOT less stressful. The rainfall shower was a definite joy after sweating while walking down to and from the Fremont Experience. The location and price fit well into our last minute budget. We definitely will return. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Scam rating and photos

Shocked at what I saw after seeing the photos on the app and such a high rating! Looked and felt like s horror movie Feels like a scam and hotels.com seems to be involved or fine with the lies and misdirection of the rating and photos. Old,broken and stained chairs , horrible smell of mold that was so intense you get headaches. It could not have been worse.

The Desert Moon, an independent motel, stands out from it competitors with its renovated rooms and the diligence of the owners, who live onsite, to ensuring guests are safe and taken care of. Don’t let the location put you off - it has improved greatly in the past ten years and being a stones throw from Downtown, the Desert Moon is a hidden gem. I will be back!

Wonderful owner, horrible location

Owner/staff was excellent. She was very attentive and answered all my questions. Hotel is in a terrible part of town, constant police sirens, loud motorcycles trucks and even a police helicopter. Hotel would do in a pinch, but if you’re looking for a really comfortable place to stay, I could not recommend this place simply because of the location.

My first time in Vegas

My day was amazing. The staff was definitely 100% on point. I will plan on staying at this location again. The prices are very reasonable and you’re pretty much close to everything.
