Bent Inn & Lounge Bar

Review by Aaron G. Beebe — Owner of GonnaHappen Bent Inn & Lounge Bar is one of the freshest, cleanest, and most welcoming spots in Las Vegas — a place where the vibe hits immediately and the energy stays good the entire time you’re there. This is the kind of place that knows how to blend style, comfort, and community all in one. The lounge bar and boutique hotel has a great atmosphere: modern, fun, relaxed, and full of personality without trying too hard. The staff is friendly, on point, and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time walking through the door. The drinks are solid, the service is tight, and the whole place has that “you’re in the right spot tonight” feeling. What I appreciate most is the sense of community. Bent Inn feels like a safe, open, inclusive hangout — a spot where everyone is welcome and the night always brings good conversations, great laughs, and new connections. Whether you’re grabbing a drink, meeting friends, relaxing, or just exploring Vegas culture, this place is a gem. As the Owner of GonnaHappen, I’m all about places that bring people together, make you feel seen, and elevate the nightlife experience. Bent Inn & Lounge Bar definitely delivers that. If you haven’t been yet, check it out — it’s the kind of local Vegas spot that deserves all the love. #BentInn #LasVegas #LoungeBar #GonnaHappen #LocalVegasVibes

Great spot near Fremont district. Staff was awesome, the night crew was very helpful. the bar and pool were great, the bar was open all night. The bar menu was small but everything I had was good and the price was reasonable. my room was on the ground floor overlooking the pool, very comfortable. The neighborhood is mostly empty but BENT is an oasis and a short walk to Fremont and a quick UBER to the strip the only drawback was the lack of a mini fridge. Thanks to everyone at BENT for making my stay in Vegas great.

Had all the basics I needed. I stayed in room 102, which is directly in front of the stairs but a straight shot from the bar area. The wallpaper and art was entertaining throughout the property. James was the bartender who took care of me during my stay. The bar was always a great stop before turning in for the night. I stopped in during the Bingo night and then the Classic Karaoke. So happy to find this gem off the strip

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by friendly staff and a cool, relaxed vibe that made us feel instantly at ease. We stayed for three days, and the rooms were stylish, well-designed, and the king bed was incredibly comfortable. The pool area and bar were also excellent. The place feels modern and fresh. Kurtis was an absolute star—nothing was too much trouble, and he was always there to help. He brought so much fun to our stay, alongside the ever-lovely Enzo. Staying here was a fantastic surprise, and we’re so glad we booked. The location is perfect—right next to Fremont, but away from the Strip, so it was quiet and relaxing. We felt completely immersed in the Bent Inn experience. If you get the chance, book a few nights here. The service, style, and atmosphere are second to none. We can’t wait to come back. A huge thank you for making our stay outstanding!

What’s not to love about this place, I didn’t want to leave! Had the pleasure of chatting with Timmy who was super cool! Enjoyed talking to him!! Great music. Great drinks. Great vibes. Their staff are extremely nice (Dalton was another cool one for sure 🎃). The place was beautiful, especially the pool. Felt like I lived an Inn version of Melrose Place with a nice pool like that. Ha. I was a little shy about taking my shirt off in the pool because I’m an insecure weirdo but it was honestly welcoming and I should’ve . I’ll be hitting the gym and back sometime next year for sure. :) seriously, it’s so worth going!! Looking forward to coming back!!

Worst hotel experience of my life. Hotel located in sketchy part of town. Met someone on the strip who told me they were robed out side the bar walking to their car. The area has a lot of homeless and drug addicts. On my second night there I was Locked out of the hotel because front doors are shut with zero access with your room key. I was On Lyft at 3am in a shady part of town I begged Him to please wait to make sure I could get into the hotel cuz lobby looked closed. A sign on the door said there was a back door. I asked The Lyft drivers to please drive me to the back but there was no access from the street we were on and from where we were there was no door visible. I tried Calling the hotel but nobody answered. So for My safety and not wanting to gamble being stuck in a dangerous part of town I asked the lyft to take me to an other hotel to see if I could get a room. I was livid that I had to spend more money and I kept Trying to get in contact with them once I got Into an other room. No one would answer. I called Repeatedly tile someone picked up at 10am. Will not be going back needless to say. Add to this that I had To check in after 9pm due to a 3 hour flight delay, when the lobby turns to a bar and you have to check in the middle of a crowd. It was overwhelming! Then to get to the rooms you have to go to the back and through all the bar goers with all your belonging. Just over all a horrible experience The room was great with a lot of attention to detail and very clean. The decore was so chic and Modern. That’s the only positive thing about the whole thing.

Friendly staff who genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The towels in the rooms were super soft and luxurious. Karaoke was an absolute blast and the drag show was one of the best I’ve seen in years. These queens did not come to play, the costumes, makeup and performances were top tier. The food was delicious and everything we ordered hit the spot. And the drinks… mixed with love and poured nice and heavy, the way we like it. The bartenders were sweet, personable and happy to help us pick the perfect drink. The pool area was spotless with a spacious hot tub that was perfect for relaxing. There are a few things that could use some improvement. Blinds would really help. The current window shade works, but it can feel uncomfortable during the daytime when you want privacy without being on display. A small rug on either side of the bed would be great so you’re not climbing into bed with dusty feet from the concrete floor. I get why hotels avoid carpet, but something other than using a bathroom towel to wipe your feet would be helpful. It would also help the mood and overall vibe if they added some ambient lighting in the rooms, like under-bed or mirror lighting. There was also a slight knocking noise from upstairs every hour or so that lasted a couple minutes. It woke me up the first night. I didn’t bring it up to the front desk because it slipped my mind, so apparently it wasn’t that bad, but I’m sure they would’ve switched my room if I asked. I wore ear plugs for the rest of the trip and slept fine. If you’re here to have a “fun” time then I highly recommend it. I’d love to revisit during an event weekend when there are even more visitors, but I’m glad I got to experience it at a slower pace to feel its true charm. I really want this place to succeed, because it does have a special charm and the people working here are truly top notch. Even with a few things that could use attention, I’m still giving it five stars because I can’t think of a reason to rate it any lower. And this review is coming from someone who worked years in the five star cruise line industry. Gays, we scream for places made for us and then sometimes don’t do our part to keep them alive. Skip the same old Strip and stay here instead. The Strip is just a short ride away anyway. This place deserves to be fully booked every weekend because it’s truly that great. I wish I had an excuse to come back, because I definitely would.

I stayed for 4 nights. And it was a great experience. The room was top notch and clean. Hot shower TV with a lot of Chanels. The staff was very pleasant. The internment was a blast to watch. This was my 2 time being hear will definitely be back.

I was getting ready to book this resort for a quick trip I am planning in November. After reading the reviews I was a ready to process my reservation. The thing that caught my eye and turned me away was an extremely snarky reply form the owner on a poor review left by another guest. If the owner of a property can't behave professionally and take feedback without turning into a sarcastic personal attack, I have no interest in staying at their property. The world is a tough enough place for our community without resorting to infighting with our own community.

A lovely hotel near downtown Las Vegas. Rooms are comfy. Free coffee in the morning. Has a decent pool and great artwork in the rooms. Please be aware before booking though of an important error... The hotel pricing system they claim is not populating accurately and is a big problem. Staff claims it doesn't work right....example....off the bat it will quote you not for your room you wish to book but the #cheapest # room. I have a snapshot. I expected 149.99 and then 49.99 next two nights and one night at the cheaper rate free. Instead way way over charged 99.99 a night mon and Tuesday. And still never got an accurate itemized statement.kind of a big issue It looked like I was billed over twice as much even with a discount applied. I asked multiple times for an itemized bill and didn't get one. Was told the math and billing verbally..but my bill for a during the week Sunday through Tuesday room was expensive. Had 3 for 2 night deal and wasn't impressed with how the math worked. They give you a free drink on arrival which is nice I guess. You're supporting a local business at a boutique hotel. Adjust expectations accordingly. It's sweet and kindly appreciated. Quiet.No maze no noise like the Strip or casino hotels.awesome Staff are all nice. Genuine kind helpful. Room was generally clean and a good workable size. I had a pool side patio room ...furniture nice.pool looked good. one notable... housekeeping didn't come on one night which was annoying but not end of world shattering. And foot print on my white comforter that i found and that was after housekeeping. Not sure what happened lol Drinks at the bar were ok solid...average. Bartenders nice sociable easy to talk with. The kitchen is decent.I had food there on 2 occasions when I didn't stay in a room. Flat breads were good.espresso martini good. Chips and dips good. And their weekly entertainment is 5 stars. Confessions or salacious Sundays Saturdays is a treasure and a cardinal reason to go to the bar. Jewdivine is a top notch performer. 5 star experience on nights she hosts. Nice people overall.they're doing what they can and i hope they succeed.

From the moment we arrived at Bent Inn, we felt truly welcomed like family. The team went above and beyond in every way--making our stay not only comfortable but also deeply personalized to both Jhonson and me. The extra touches, thoughtful details, and genuine care made us feel seen, accepted, and celebrated. The events were such a highlight--fun, vibrant, and full of positive energy that created an uplifting community vibe. It never felt like just a hotel stay; it felt like being part of something special. Every interaction with the staff reflected warmth, inclusivity, and a level of customer service that far exceeded our expectations. We left feeling uplifted, cared for, and already planning when we can come back. Bent Inn doesn't just provide a place to stay--they create an experience that stays with you. Absolutely a five-star gem, and we can't recommend it enough!

First timer here and my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. The room was very cute, clean, and perfect for what we needed. The staff were all very friendly and kind. We need more queer-friendly spaces like this, and I hope the Bent Inn is around for years to come! Would def recommend to anyone visiting the area

Cool gay/queer bar/restaurant with lots of TVs and friendly bartenders. Just close enough to Fremont St to walk but far enough away to not have to deal with the noise. There is a nice patio and pool. Ordered a chicken salad. Wasn't anything to write home about. Wish there were more non-alcoholic options but this is Vegas.

I attended a conference at the beginning of the week, and left the conference venue and extended my stay at the Bent Inn by four days. Being from San Francisco, I thought the pool side room was overpriced for what it was, and what I am accustomed to. The property is an old hotel/motel building, with the bar, so the rooms are not large. The bar prices are comparable to other bars in the city, and the happy hour is somewhat minimal. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I understand the draw - it's one of the only "gay" hotels in the city and that is what initially appealed to me. They also have queer venues at the bar like drag shows and such. I made the mistake of falling asleep at the drag show, and I was sitting up in front - I was tired from the conference I attended, so it had nothing to do with the performance. It is also outside of the Las Vegas Downtown area. I was cautioned by one of the staff about walking to Downtown, guiding me away from one of the streets. Uber was daily for me because there is nothing close to the hotel in terms of grocery markets, or restaurants. You may want to add that to the cost of the room. I would probably stay there again, but not for the length of time I was there.

Visited the bar here shortly after they started doing business. I really like the space inside the pub, not your typical square or rectangular, boring layout. The interior design also felt modern without being pretentious at all, a really inviting space. At the time they hadn't started with their food service yet so I definitely have go back for a drink and some grub the next time I'm there in June. Our bartender did show us a sneak peak of the menu and judging by some of the food pics posted here it looks good. I can see this as being my first choice to go to when the subject of bar hopping comes up.

A perfect queer-friendly escape in the heart of Vegas! Bent Inn is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and celebrated. This isn't just another hotel--it's a beautifully curated experience tailored for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. The vibes are modern, fun, and unapologetically bold, with thoughtful design touches throughout. Everything feels new, clean, and fresh, from the rooms to the pool area. You can tell the owners put heart into every detail. The staff? Incredible. Warm, inclusive, and always ready to offer recommendations or just a friendly hello. There's a genuine sense of community here, not just hospitality. I also loved how culturally rich and well-planned the events were--whether you're into poolside drag brunches or low-key mixers, there's something for everyone. The parking is open and safe, which was a huge plus, and you're just a short walk or ride away from adorable local shops, eats, and sights that are way more fun than the touristy Strip. Whether you're visiting Vegas solo, with your partner, or a group of friends, Bent Inn is where you want to be. Already booked my return back

Definitely recommend staying here! It's 15 mins walk to Fremont street, locally gay owned, nice spacious affordable clean rooms, pool and tub, free parking, $20 bottomless mimosas on weekends. Some things I would recommend are.. coffee makers in the room, more garbage cans (not just in bathroom), and towel bar above the toilet. #bentinn #lasvegas #supportlocal #lgbtq

Absolutely love this place! Bar tenders are knowledgeable. Friendly bar tenters and great atmosphere. Came for a queer soft ball meet up and pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the community is.

Great food and prices , kitchen open at convenient times! The bartenders and staff are very friendly and greet me by name. Several different fun events in the bar area , drink specials and pool area for you and your friends. Friendly inclusive and a great place to drop into in downtown Las Vegas! Highly recommend !

Bent Inn is a fabulous experience. It's a super cute LGBTQ boutique motel in Downtown Las Vegas, NV. The rooms are super cute decorated with mid century modern pop art. The staff is super friendly. The lobby is a bar with the same cute esthetic. Christian at the bar is an amazing bartender. Absolutely loved hanging out with him in the middle of the night after a long day in Vegas. Can't knock the 21+ queer safe space with a 24/7 bar, pool, and hot tub. Ask Christan for an espresso martini, his are amazing, he will brew you a fresh pot of coffee. Perfect for a second wind, they will rejuvenate you and keep the party going. As a larger gay bear, my only critique would be I wish the night stands were a little bigger to accommodate my CPAP machine. If that's my only complaint you better believe it's a good night stay, and not staying here would be a missed opportunity for a truly unique and wonderful experience. My partner says "this place is really cool with a top notch esthetic and great attention to detail!"

I was there a few weeks ago for a friends birthday. It was so much fun a nice place to be your self the staff was super friendly. The food was pub food but still good. I like how each room had different are on the walls and in the pub. The drinks are at good price. If I didn't live in Miami I would definitely would go more often cuz that flight is horrible. Thank you for showing me a good time!

Went to check it out after it being closed. Right away i felt I wanted leave. They had some lounge singer, the music was way too loud and just felt dated and old. There was 4 bartenders but it took a hot minute before any of them would address me, & make a cocktail for me. If you glance at their Facebook post you'd think it buy one get one free until 7. Wrong, only well drinks. Not only do I have issues with the overprice cocktails, but they can't even make it correctly. Not once but twice. I ordered a raspberry mojito, but the bartender forgot to put the powdered stuff in. I think it like a sugar. I would ask my friend how it was, and he's like it's not nor strong, and hardly any mint flavor. I finally just gave up and just switch to water. While my friend just dealt with whatever he got. Now the food. This was the main reason why we went. Last time, whoever the food truck vendor was, had some phenomenal food. Especially their burgers. My co-workers and I were excited to have those again. When we got our burgers, you could tell right away they were like the frozen, soy patties. It just wasn't the quality that it used to be. I'm just very disappointed over it. Wont likely be going back

Great if your a tourist,, however if your a local the drink prices are more then other bars. Their happy hour is only well drinks and the bar itself is rather small. If you want to drink and use the pool then I can see the draw. Otherwise Garage is 2 for 1 daily from 11a to 7p and crown is 2 dollars cheaper. (Note I'm only applying this review to the actual bar. As a local I haven't stayed there.)

Met up with an old friend for a quick Vegas getaway, and the Bent Inn proved to be a great base. The people are uniformly friendly and professional, the vibe is warm and relaxed, and while the rooms may not be ultra luxurious, they're comfortable where it counts. The mattress, linens, and towels were are all excellent quality, and it was nice to have a pair of pool towels waiting on arrival. A few things that I had't seen mentioned in other reviews stood out for me: - The pub/lobby is open 24 hours, and at least a couple of our nights there it was as busy at 6:00 a.m. as it was at 9:00 p.m. Vegas really is a 24-hour city! - Coffee is available 24/7 in the pub. I'm an early riser, and whoever was on night shift was happy to rustle up a fresh carafe as necessary. - The food is surprisingly good--highly recommend the Shroomy Burger--and a great value. - The pool is also open 24/7, which in the summer is a big plus--lovely to hop in at 6:00 a.m. or at the end of a long day at midnight. Even with daytime temps heading toward 110º, the water was the perfect temperature, cool and refreshing. - The soundproofing appears to be very good; the hotel wasn't packed during our stay, but the room was quiet all night, and I heard no noise from the pool or pub. The Bent Inn made for a fun change from the big Strip hotels. I liked the sleek, contemporary design, with the pulp-novel covers everywhere a neat touch. It was great to pop out the back gate and be right at the car, rather than traipsing a half-mile through a casino and garage. The place was spotlessly clean everywhere. And, of course, it was festive and homey to be in such a total LGBTQ+ environment. The TV was large and crystal-clear, with a wide variety of program options (although some gay-hotel regulars might be surprised that there are no adult options...). If I could make any changes at all, it might be to have better bedside reading lamps (the existing ones are a decor touch rather than functional) and maybe add more hooks/storage options. There's a smallish dresser and minimal closet space, but even a few hooks would make keeping the room organized for a stay of more than one or two nights. Breakfast is offered some days after 8:00 a.m.; if that doesn't work for you, there's a terrific coffee house, PublicUS, a block away that opens at 7:00 and has splendid breakfasts.

Incredible experience. Went in at 3:00, was planning to leave around 6:00, ended up staying until 9:00. Pool-side service, food was yummy, drinks were affordable, made some friends in the pool. Music was on point, staff was very knowledgeable and were eager to serve. Highly recommend.

We found this super cute LGBTQ owned and operated boutique hotel right down the strew from the freemont experience. Check in was at the bar that sits in the entry way, it was quick and friendly. There is a pool with fun blow ups in it and plenty of space to lounge. The room was spacious and well appointed. Staff was super friendly. Are stay was pleasant and quiet. Will definitely stay again. Pro- Close to arts district and freemont Free drink/or water bottle at the bar with stay Small private parking lot in the back with room access Cons- Needs a towel rack near sink No mini fridge No rug/ area rug the floor is bare and cold

First time at the Bent to enjoy a few drink and a quick dinner. The bar area is welcoming and comfortable. The bartenders are attentive and makes great drinks. I look forward to returning and enjoying the pool.

I can't say enough how great of a stay I had here. I came to Vegas for a comedy festival and this place was the perfect fit for me. Small, clean, sleek design in the rooms, entertaining decor, easy check in and check out process, pool and bar are 24 hours, ample spots for the smokers in the world, friendly staff, quick and amazing service all around. The food was delicious! Don't skip out on the buffalo cauliflower appetizer and fries. I had them about three nights in a row, they were that delicious! One million percent recommend and will return. Thank you for making me feel very safe and for being so welcoming! Best Vegas trip for sure. Heads up that there are no fridge and microwave in the rooms (there is an ice bucket available) but it didn't bother me at all since I was out at the festival all day and didn't bring home leftovers. Fremont street has eateries that are affordable and portioned to not need to go boxes.

Bent Inn OWES US NOTHING! Excellent Food, Service and Atmosphere! If you're looking for a hidden gem in las Vegas, THIS IS THE PLACE! The staff is warm and welcoming and the budget conscious menu items and drinks make it a spot you'll want to come back to again and again!

This place is amazing, friendly staff, clean rooms, well kept grounds. The bar menu was nice.

I stayed at the Bent Inn in January for work. It was an amazing place to stay. LGBTQ+ owned and caters to the community but welcomes allies. It was nice seeing 2 regulars at the bar from a neighboring apartment complex regularly (several nights for cocktails). It is THE Place if you are tired of the huge mega-resorts that only seem to support the LGBTQ+ community during pride season, or when they host an occasional event. The rooms are comfortable. Nothing classy, but a great atmosphere, with many rooms overlooking the pool area. The beds are comfortable, shower was nice - good temperature and good water pressure. The pool was open, however it was January, not pool season in Las Vegas/ The staff, including the owners, are extremely friendly. They never seem to have a bad mood day. And they are friendly talking to patrons in the pub or who stay on site, on a personal level, ranging from sports, the queer community in Las Vegas, etc. Location is in a decent/good area of Downtown. Quiet area, being a few blocks from Fremont St, the N side of the Las Vegas strip, and other tourist area's in the area. There are also several LGBTQ+ bars and establishments that are an easy/short walk.

Super friendly staff Great food and drinks super clean rooms friendly guests walking distance to old Vegas. Fun times highly recommend

When I learned that a new bar opened up across the street from me, I had to go check it out. The second I walked in I knew I was at home. The bartenders were so open and welcomed as soon as I walked in and explained to me, there new set up because they were a new bar. Happy hour is absolutely amazing and the patrons that visit this place are the coolest even though I live across the street I had to try up the hotel rooms which were very affordable and very well-maintained. They do have a pool and Jacuzzi but they were not open up yet because they are still new but they should be ready before New Year's. I think it is a great place to watch the games because Sunday happy hour is from 11 AM to 11 PM. Buy one get one free. They did not have the food ready when I got there but they will have it up very shortly give this place a chance and I promise you will love it, they take the time to get to know you and make sure you get the drinks you want. The hotel rooms are amazing. The water pressure is perfect. Try this place and you won't be disappointed.

The staff are super friendly and accommodating. My girlfriend and I are staying here. The rooms are amazing everything is new and updated. It's the middle of winter so we'll be hitting up the hot tub later but I can see how in summer the pool will be popping. Happy hour specials are BOBO cocktails which was great for us. The Beefy Boy Sliders are yummy and beefy.

Good food wether you are there for brunch or in the evenings for one of their weekly events such as Karaoke or trivia night. There's always something on special. The staff is extremely friendly and you feel like you're with family when you are there. Plenty of free parking.

I love Bent, I'm so glad they are in the neighborhood! My friends and I are always here. They have really good drink specials and food. It's close to my house and the staff is some of the best I've encountered. My favorite is taking a dip in the pool after I've had a few. The entire ambiance is the best :)

The burger Is Awesome tasting, fresh not frozen Pattie's..!!! I'd return for the burgers, often..!!! The service is good and the restaurant bar area is clean.

This place is so cute!!! I appreciate that allies are welcome because who doesn't want to hang out with fabulous gay boys?! The dive inn movie is such a fun idea! Will definitely be coming back often!

Nice and clean. Great alternative to staying at the big hotels. More personal service than the hotels on the strip. Great pool area and bar. Friendly staff and owners. Will be staying here again when I go to Vegas.

Bent inn Too the amazing people at The Bent Inn that made my stay unforgettable. Mark and Greg, you have given me a new home every time I visit Las Vegas! Scottie you are the s**t thanks again for the pizza. Great atmosphere, simply perfect accommodations, a thirsty cocktail menu and a happy and helpful staff. Thank you for adding another new gay alternative to an already incredible city. I'll see you again soon!

Liz, Shane Daniel and Timmy are amazing people and great and the service is incredible. Drinks are awesome, food is great l, will definitely come back

This was our first visit to this lovely little inn in glamorous Las vegas! I am very proud of you boys, good job! This was our first but not last we met so many beautiful people by the pool and at the pub, I'm sure that by our next visit few adjustments with the accommodation will be achieved, the food at the Pub was really good and the staff is superb the evening girl is a doll....‍.... This place is a must

The Inn Is great. Campy, sophisticated & fun. 24/7 bar. Nice ambiance. We did a 2 day stay cation that we won on FB. Join their page! DEFINITELY ally friendly. So close to downtown & Fremont St. We walked it & all over the area. I even have an orthopedic boot on right now and it was easy. Safe area and near Container Park. The GM, Will, is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. The WHOLE staff, really. The beds are amazing. Rooms are spacious. They also have a room w/ a common area & individual sinks, where you can rent a private locked sleeping area w/ your own TV/AC/nightstand/phone/window. Thanks BENT INN & PUB

Great hotel. Nice big rooms. Great bar and restaurant as well. Super friendly staff.

Great joint away from the noise. Chill pool, all very clean and new. Staff was wonderful to me.

It was unexpectedly fantastic! We got in and one of the owners met us and even upgraded our room. The staff is fantastic the people that go there are amazing! The food was so dang good. I loved trivia night it was a lot of fun watching all the silly names! The 24 hr pool and hot tub was amazing! Thank you all again! We plan on staying there again!

Amazing place to stay! Great staff, great people, incredible food and drinks! Really cool vibe and energy!

Hi, This was a nice relaxing place to stay. The room was nice and the pool was great. They also have a nice bar with great food and I thought the people who worked there were great too. It's within walking distance to freemont.

AVOID THIS PIT OF DESPAIR. This *motel* is worth maybe $80/night but they're charging double to triple that BEFORE A RESORT FEE while pretending to be a Pub (pubs have food, BENT does not) and Bar (technically they have a bar space but the bartenders are so slow and clueless), and Resort (Motel 6s have pools and don't call themselves a "resort"), inside a shockingly depressing dilapidated low income studio apartment building that's over 60 years old. *These are not new hotel rooms they're a slap of paint and a slap in the face to guests.* The Good 1. Accommodated a night's early arrival (We had a 2 night reservation but arrived a day early to extend our trip. So night one was in one type of room and night 2 was in a "balcony" room. We left before night 3 because it was so bad) 2. Room code entry = easy to accept visitors who don't have a key 3. Located next to Downtown 4. Hot Tub and Pool 5. Handicapped accessible pool and hot tub entry/exit chair lift The Bad 1. Rooms are prison barracks style sad. Half the rooms only have windows that look into the shared outdoor hallway, meaning you are 100% on display or the shade is drawn and you feel stuck in a concrete prison cell 2. Pool not heated as advertised at booking 3. Food truck not operational as advertised at booking 4. Slow, extremely awkward bar service 5. Nowhere to hang towels in room 6. No easy spot to plug in a phone unless it's charging on the floor 7. Bathroom door is a sliding barn door, giving the room a view of the toilet, with all sounds heard...zero privacy at all. 8. The bar is NOT AT ALL an LGTBQ+ safe space (the straight Latina woman on Thursday screaming the N word who literally fell to the ground drunk while her boyfriend walked to patrons saying he didn't push her down should NOT have been allowed to order more drinks. The vibe here is "anyone who comes in no matter what" and not "this is a gay space") 9. Lighting is beyond horrendous, prison-like. Literally one bulb in the room as lighting plus an Ikea paper hanging lamp 10. Furniture seems rescued from closed properties 11. No shelf of any kind to place anything in the shower 12. Outlets don't provide consistent power 13. Water pressure is very weak 14. THEY CHARGE A RESORT FEE 15. ROOMS ARE ANCIENT; they are 61-year old low income efficiency studios, and they did nothing to spruce it up. You can feel the depression of the space's past seeping out of the crusty old concrete block walls. 16. "Juliet Balconies" are unfinished (the casings aren't complete) sliding-doors-as-windows with zero ability to step outside. 17. The rooms with sliding doors as windows have NO bathroom vent (the others do, likely only because it's required by law). 18. While in the bathroom, a room service man knocked on the door, *opened it*, *fully entered the room*, and asked "Do you need service?" before we had to tell him to leave *from the toilet*. Horrendous. 19. Our room was non-smoking but the sliding door had two cigarette butts in it when we first checked in, meaning place isn't cleaned properly between visitors. Literally go anywhere else. Sleep in your car if you must. This is dead-on-arrival. UPDATE: This experience was so bad I kept wondering how and why, and I found the answer: the owners' last property was a NUDE resort in Palm Springs. THEY NEED TO DITCH THE LIQUOR LICENSE IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE THIS A NUDE RESORT if they have any chance at existing past this season's PRIDE. Palm Springs has more gay visitors than you can shake a stick at, so providing a blank soulless canvas of a hotel can still work: the gays filling it up and walking around naked make the place vibrant. But Las Vegas is known for being a few-gay-businesses-survive city, so providing a blank soulless canvas of a hotel means it's actually just a dive bar with not enough gay people and wretched rooms. (Heck, being naked would make the rooms make more sense...there's a *reason* the windows look out at a shared hallway and offer no privacy, the horrendous lack of lighting becomes flattering super dark lighting for nude people:, and the prison-cell vibes could then be titillating instead of depressing) BENT being nude would give them a differentiator, when instead they chose to be a 1/10 bar. Wrong choice dudes. My gosh, making this naked inside with robes provided to go grab and bring back drinks/snacks from a food truck with a liquor license across the street would be excellent and vibrant. But without guests filling the space and making their own vibe this place is an empty, sad space with nothing to entice you to stay.

The Inn is slightly better then a Motel 6. The dressers and nightstands are child sized furniture....adult clothes do not fit. The "closet" is a small cut out in the wall with 2 small shelves and a single bar mounted off to the side which makes it difficult to hang your clothes up. Housekeeping folded up our dirty towels and put them on the towel rack instead of giving us new ones. It took 1 1/2 days to get toilet paper....we used napkins from the bar. Coffee is supposed to be included in the reort fee, bur sadly, they were iut of coffee fir 2 days. It is clear management does not do a daily walk around the property or checks to see if tasks are getting done correctly. Whats with the trashy, torn storage tent right as you walk into the pool area?? Overall the look of the hotel and its grounds is nothing more than a beige box. It lacks greenery and color. We were pleasantly surprised by the food coming out of the food truck...it was really good!!! A special shout out to bartender Liz. She saved our trip. She is super fun, kind and accommodating. Bent needs to make her the Manager. Her follow through was amazing.
