Great Stay

The California Hotel & Casino was a very nice stay. There was a booking error that showed I booked two rooms instead of one. I didn’t notice this until less than 24 hours before check-in time when I checked my reservations. I called the hotel, they said only the 3rd party could cancel, chatted with Hotel.com, they said they would follow up on it and that the hotel may charge me a cancellation fee & or the full price of 2nd room. When I checked into the hotel and explained the error of booking a 2nd room, the clerk was so kind and understanding and she said she would remove the 2nd booking with no charge. I later received an email from Hotel.com stating they could not fix or change the error on the second booking. Going forward, maybe Hotel.com can include a pop up message when a customer who normally books one room (based on customer’s booking history) & books two rooms, a message can pop up reading “you have already booked one room do you still need a 2nd room?”. Overall the experience at the California Hotel & Casino was great!

Great location,nicer than I expected. Only a block from Fremont street. Good restaurant choices int the hotel and near by. Only thing we didn't like was not enough chairs at the pool and no tables/umbrellas(for shade, my husband has cancer and needed to be in the shade)

The location is the best. The property is old, and my sink was not draining properly, and they couldn't fix it. The property is 12 floors, but the elevator starts on the 13th floor! It was written free internet, 2 pools, and breakfast for $6!! It was a big lie. I found just one small pool, breakfast for $30, and internet for $37 per day!

Love California and Main Street

The rooms were good, the bed comfortable. The elevators in the parking lot were out of service for our 2 day stay, causing much confusion. We’re seniors and need the elevators. The air conditioning in most of the casino was not working well, making it very warm and stuffy. The restaurant Market Street Cafe was not good at all. The quality of the food has gone downhill. Sad because at one time we really enjoyed eating there. Maybe that’s why the restaurant was pretty empty when we went. We go 3 or 4 times a year, we keep trying hoping for improvement, but it’s steadily getting worse.

We enjoyed our stay at California Hotel & Casino. The premium king bed room was large and the bathroom was remodeled. Elevators were quick. The area was safe and a short walk to The Plaza and Fremont Street. They need more dining options and the ice cream/coffee shop needs to stay open later in the evening.

The property itself is ok, the have to wings. The wing we were in was very small and the lighting was pretty bad. The Toilet and shower are was really small.If you needed to use the toilet you would have to straddle the Toilet to close the door. The lighting in the hallways was very dim, and kind of seedy.
