I reserved my room at El Cortez six months before our stay. We were not able to get our usual room on an upper floor even though it was being held they said. It was given to someone else even though I had been to reservation desk 3 times to check. We finally got a room on the 3rd floor and upon going to room found out it was handicap accessible. We had a hard time with water running out into rest of bathroom. We were disappointed but hotel was fully booked we were told.

I reserved a king premium room 3m2 months ahead of time and ended up getting 2 queens instead. When i went down to the counter they said they had sold out the kings. I was confused by this sinse i had reserved a room. The noise from a rave party behind the hotel room was EXTREMELY LOUD. It was VERY difficult to get some good sleep. They really need to invest in some thicker windows or something to cancel out the noise. It really was bad.

The room was dirty plainly speaking. Nightstands were unwiped, broken and filthy phone, bathroom had glitter handprints, worst of all there was water damage on the carpets. You could smell the mildew when entering. We were also given a handicap room, it was a busy weekend so I understand sometimes they are given out to non handicap people but I would have preferred a regular room.

I had gotten rerouted from another hotel and I had to check in later at this one the El Cortez on Fremont Street and it all worked out so good.
