The Shalimar Hotel 1401 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89104

"This is the absolute filthiest motel we have ever seen. The only positive thing I have to say is the front desk lady was super nice. She offered us a different room, which appeared to be better, but there was black mold on the ceiling near the front door. I walked in and right back out. It has very dated decor which is fine, but it’s so dirty. Has a bad cigarette/dirty odor. Really can’t describe it. The walls and ceilings are in bad shape. The walls are not sound proof. The floor had debris all over. The beds did not look comfortable, but there was no way I was going to sit on it! The microwave and refrigerator was so disgusting. There was a dead bird and a lot of garbage on the grass just outside of the pool area. None of the restaurants were open. Wouldn’t dine there anyway! I know for a fact the balcony does not meet code. A small child could easily fit through and fall. There was bird poop all over the chairs outside. I could go on——The people were very sketchy. Including the two older men that were employees. They stared, approached us, followed us. It was a horrible feeling. I did not feel safe! I booked this hotel through 3rd party and we will not get our money back. I booked it for two nights and with tax & other charges my online statement it shows around $350 for two nights. Once it posts to my account I will be disputing this with my credit card company. We left! Could not stay here!!! Gross and I wouldn’t call this a safe area!!"

"Parking / Area: The parking is not secure. I got approached by a homeless person. The area isn't great as well. Renovations / Furniture: Very dated. It seems like there was some slight renovations at the time, but likely due to something in need of critical maintenance. The chair in the room was a chair you'd use at an event, instead of an actual piece of furniture. Shower: The shower had hardwater blocking a ton of the shower head, it wouldn't engage all the way either, with half the water going to the shower and half to the tub faucet. It was also leaking water out the back of the water faucet. Toilet: The toilet had no pressure and would take 3 or 4 flushes to actually do what one flush normally would. Deposit / Pay: They want to hold a deposit for the full amount of your stay and stays pending for a few weeks after you check out. They also charge you a bit for the room vault, which I did not use. Sliding Glass Door: My room had a balcony, but the sliding glass door would not close correctly. The lock was broken. It also didn't slide easily, taking a lot of effort to open and close. I can see someone with less strength, not being able to move it. Pool: It wasn't pool season, but my view to the pool was very ugly. It needs a lot of renovation as well. I was supposed to stay 4 nights, but checked out the next morning and went to another hotel at the same price with secure parking and none of the issues above."

"Room was cute and clean. Was able to walk down the street with my dog and get some food. Overall a good experience."

"This place was awful. The room smelled terrible, the room wasn’t properly cleaned in the slightest. The towels had yellow stains on them, the shower curtain looked like it had a blood stain on it and the floor of the shower was falling apart. The service wasn’t good either, and the amenities listed online are not true. Highly recommend spending your money somewhere else."

"Pretty dumpy. They've tried to make it look better with updated flooring but everything else is outdated and a bit sketchy. Water marks on ceilings, doors didn't close all the way, and the TV had 5 channels. WIFI barely worked. No amenities. No coffee. Pay a little extra and stay somewhere nicer. You wont regret it."
