The motel is located in old downtown Las Vegas, so don't expect lush surroundings like the Strip. Since it's on a main street, there can be some car noises late at night. It's only a few minutes drive from supermarket and inexpensive family/fast food restaurants, so very convenient for taking care of basic needs. The staff was friendly and helpful during my check-in. I only stayed three nights, didn't ask for housekeeping service, so can't comment on that. The room itself appeared to have been renovated some time in the past. Things looked a bit dated now but were still in good condition. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. If i were staying longer, I'd have used the small kitchen to save on meals, but not this time. If you're a glamorous tourist, this place is not for you. But if you're a practical traveler looking for value and can handle yourself in an older neighborhood, I'd recommend you take a look at this motel. I myself will definitely consider staying here again.

A good stay to save some money. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our requests. As any motel, it can get noisy and the area is not the best. Overall it was good. Free parking available was nice to have.

Clean, Inexpensive and Pleasant Stay!
I see the owner on here responding to many about the reviews, and asking how he can make a 8/10 a 10/10. So I'll answer. 8/10 is about right. Let's start with the positive. The room was very clean. Most of the furniture is a bit older, but functional and updates have been made. A cool feature was a working burner top and plates/pots/pans and silverware. Microwave and fridge, too. Nice TV. As others have mentioned, the neighborhood might be intimidating to some. That's mitigated some by being able to park right in front of your door. That being said, it was very quiet. I have stayed in some seedy neighborhoods many times and there are often people outside the door or sounds coming from outside/next door. Not here, and I was here on two weekend nights. The downtown music/shows, which are often heard when staying close to downtown was not heard at all. Here are the suggestions I'd give. 1. Update the A/C unit. The unit in my room said don't turn below 74 or there will be ice build up and I came end of October when Vegas weather is still a bit warm. It wasn't unpleasant, but struggled a bit to keep it cool. I would suggest updating because I would want a colder room in the summer being from the north. 2. The door needs some weather stripping. There were cracks with daylight coming in around the door. I saw no bugs, but a few could potentially sneak in. If you want an inexpensive, yet pleasant stay without a lot of walking, I'd recommend. Great stay. Thanks Michael!

I had a few nights stay at the Desert Moon. I drove in from LA for a little business, didn’t want to deal with the big Hotel scene. Pros: Truth in advertising, not common these days. - Everything was what the site said. Room was clean, everything worked. (Kitchenette was awesome!) - To my surprise, very quiet. - Staff was friendly and helpful. I was checked in by the Big Aussie (don’t know if he was Australian but I like that handle). Check out simple – no touch (keycards in the drop box and rolled out @ 6AM) - Liked the towering MoonBall logo over the Motel, I used it as easy finder when finding my way down Fremont St. If you’re looking for granite tabletops and gold fixtures, the Bellagio has lots of rooms. It seems the emphasis at Desert Moon is no frills value for the dollar. Cons: Area Located in a working-class part of LV, and there are a contingent of folks that aren’t represented on the Las Vegas Strip glossies. How that impacts you as a Motel guest is completely subjective. One evening I walked from the Motel to 7-11 two blocks down with no issues. Mostly people mind their own business and its advisable to do likewise. But that’s my subjective assessment and experience. Overall, Desert Moon is saved on my phone.

Amazing property. I have lived in Vegas since 1998 and I can surely say I have never witnessed such an amazing property on a budget like this one. You want to witness the real Vegas? Stay here! Minutes away from all the action. Amazing staff as well. 1000 stars

I had the best hotel manager/host (Natalie I believe) that I’ve ever had. Very accommodating, communicative, and kind. The room was really clean and the area is fairly quiet. It’s a little out of the way from the major tourist spots so keep that in mind :) would recommend if you don’t mind having a little bit of a drive to your destinations

From the get go, the check in staff person was super gracious and explained all the quirks of the property in advance. My kids were a bit skeptical about the location & exterior, but once you step into your unit, you are transported to a high end big buck ultra cool unit. Some reviewers may not be ready for the full Fremont experience, especially if they come from a cocoon of suburbia. I am 66 yrs old and loved walking a few extra blocks to places like the Ferguson with ultra hip coffee shop, F Bar! Etc. If you are timid or unhip, there are other choices, but this old fart loved it!
