Oyo Gateway Motel Las Vegas North Stripfremont St
$138-204/ nuit
Réservez si You are a location scout for a gritty true-crime documentary and need authentic, terrifying ambiance.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Free parking (if your car doesn't get broken into)
- Close to the Arts District and Fremont Street
- It makes you appreciate literally any other hotel
En bref : Reviewers call it a 'meth manor' and a 'murder motel'—this is a filthy, unsafe property with bed bugs, roaches, and zero redeeming qualities.
Évalué par @sincerelysusye: If you want a fun, no-stress Vegas trip without breaking the bank, this is the spot. I spent my nights playing $1 blackjack and grabbing late-night wings at Hooters. My suite was huge, super clean, and even had a microwave for my leftover Steak 'n Shake. Highly recommend!
