    Magical History Tour Historic hotel that was built in 1933 and has been one of the mainstays of Boulder City since it's inception. The Good: *Listed in the National Register of Historic Places *Showers were nice and hot with excellent water pressure. *No coffee machines in the room but there's a room that houses a hot/cold filtered water dispenser and also has a giant carafe that's always filled with the black nectar of the gods 24/7. *There's a plug w/ USB charging ports *Room AC works great *Cox Cable w/ HDTV programming *Pillows are decent *Free (donations accepted) History of Hoover Dam/Boulder City Museum located inside the hotel. *Check-in was pretty quick and smooth *Booked for $92/night (total including taxes and applicable fees) thru Booking.com *Ceiling fan in the room w/ remote *Lounge & Restaurant located in bottom floor. *Business center w/ computer & printer *Great location in the heart of DT; only 20min to Hoover Dam; and only 45min from Lost Wages. The Meh: *While you can def tell this place is old, it doesn't really have that cool "wow" factor other historic hotels we've stayed at does. *WiFi speed is not great, and the connection is very unreliable. *32" TV is kinda small for the room but at least it's good quality. The Ugly: *The mattress--and I use that term loosely--might as well have been a slab of granite. Even Carissa complained about it--and she never complains! If I bitch then it's because I'm a delicate flower but she never complains. So, yeah... TLDR: Overall great amenities but they don't you much good when you can't get a decent night's sleep.

    The desk area- look at that vintage typewriter!

    This hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to housing the workers during the construction of Hoover Dam- which is cool enough for 5 stars. It is located right in the heart of downtown Boulder City, making for a very walkable evening. The decor is time period appropriate to its original purpose; you will definitely feel as if you have stepped back in time. Luckily, the mattress and bedding are modern- I found them so cozy and comfortable! The on-site restaurant was closed (a sign mentioned "staffing shortages") but there is a cocktail lounge in the basement (called Cleveland's- I left a separate review on their page). This hotel also houses the dam museum and a small art gallery on the first floor. Overall, the room was quiet and the "old-time" atmosphere made for a pleasant stay. I'll be back.

    Places such as these need to be experienced! Boulder Dam Hotel is a jewel of history that can still be experienced! Built when the Hoover Dam was constructed, the old hotel has been well taken care of over the decades! Yes, you can still spend the night there, and even dine in the main lobby restaurant that is simply packed on the weekends! They have turned a portion of it into a museum documenting the construction of the dam and it's well worth the fee admission to check it out!

    This review is the "The Speakeasy" lounge in the basement of the hotel. Stopped in to they their "The Ghost" white chocolate and vodka specialty drink after going on the Boulder City Ghost tour. The drink was unique and delicious. It happened to be a costume night in the lounge and the costumes were great, and entertainment also fun. The hotel itself is also very beautiful and relaxing, and the entire Boulder City is wonderful at night. A must visit both during the day and night. We will be back to check out the free museum and restuarant during the daytime. Thanks for a fun night!

    This is one place you won't want to miss! This is a historic hotel, and is well maintained! Very clean, great features, and the staff is super friendly! The price is great and breakfast is included- a legitimate breakfast made to order!! I will say of our 5 hotels that we stayed in, this one was the smallest, but it really didn't bother us for our stay. The hotel is located near the center of plenty of eateries/bars that are within walking distance. (If you are from Fresno/Clovis, CA area and reading this, it reminds me of an Old Town Clovis feel.) The hotel also opened a new speakeasy type bar downstairs-Clevelands, and they offer first drink deals for hotel guests, and even after that, the drink prices and snack prices down at the bar are very reasonable. Like I mentioned, the room itself is smaller, but has amenities such as closet, iron board/iron in the room, alarm clock with USB outlet, In the restroom, there are soap and lotion dispensers by the sink and there are soap/shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower. Just like the smaller room, the shower is not the roomiest either, that was my husband's only complaint, but the water temperature/pressure is good! Overall, I really liked the experience of being in this hotel, and will definitely return for the atmosphere of the hotel and town!! Great choice if you decide on the Boulder Dam Hotel!

    In 2020 I stayed @ 218 hotels all across the country and this place was by far one of my favorites and what a way to kick 2021 off staying here. I was in rm 217 the Carole Lombard room. It was awesome and I really didn't realize until some online reading that she was married to Gable . The staff were super friendly and the place was top notch. I actually sat by the fireplace for 2 hrs last night reading a book. The thoughts while sitting there wondering who all had stayed @ this historic hotel ran through my mind like a flood. Oh man I wish the walls could talk. My room was super comfy. The king bed was perfect as well as the shower This place will for sure be saved as one of my favorites. AAAA +++++

    I actually really liked his hotel. It was a bit of a throwback as it sported more of a motel style…read morelike places that I used to stay when I was a kid traveling with my parents. All of the entrances as far as I could tell were exterior. Some people don't like that, but if the area is safe, I actually find it rather convenient. Just pull up to your door, unload and you're set. This hotel is located less than 30 mimutes from LAS, which is quite convenient, especially when you fly in late and there is a slow getaway from the airport (thanks to incredibly long lines for the rental car shuttle). Another key feature is that it is 20 minutes or less from Hoover Dam and about 10 minutes from the Lake Mead Visitor Center. This was the main reason for choosing this place as our lodging. The building is massive and looked almost imposing on arrival. The website says it has 99 rooms but the impressive structure is three stories high stretching deeper than you'd expect. I would have guessed more rooms than that without looking it up. We arrived at night and the outside lighting they employ creates an attractive facade as you pull up. The area in which it was located was interesting and bordered on kitschy, as it had that remnant of the Old West touristy appeal that I remember as a kid. There were plenty of hotels/motels and restaurants/pancake houses along the wide boulevard. The front desk clerk was very pleasant, efficient and knowledgeable. She had us checked in quickly which was appreciated given the late hour. We were at the back end of our building, so finding parking right by our room even at that time was no issue. The room was adequately spacious for our needs. They only had options for two beds at the time I made the reservation, even though I booked several weeks in advance. We usually prefer King or Queen options, but this was OK. The room was decently equipped and everything, including WiFi, worked well. Some might say the rooms need updating, but I thought they were perfectly fine. The furniture was in good shape and there was nothing about it that was off-putting. The pool was in a separate building. We did not use it, but it looked quite nice. There was also a small, somewhat inconspicuous exercise room on the first floor near the office. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, allowing us to get good sleep. The bathroom allowed us enough room to maneuver so that we could get cleaned up in the morning. The breakfast room was located on the second floor and had almost the feel of a church camp dining hall with an open, plainly decorated layout. But there were also some outside tables in the shade on the walkway and, if you could stand the 90-degree temperature even at that time of the morning, it allowed for a pleasant quieter meal. The checkout process was smooth and easy. I mentioned the proximity both to the airport and to Hoover Dam/Lake Mead as reasons for choosing this establishment. But the other half of the equation was the $108 price tag. With tax, it was around $120, which was a better deal than most places. Add to that the ability to get BW points, and it was an ideal option for us. I would definitely stay here again if we make a return visit to the local attractions. It was a perfect base for a Hoover Dam or Lake Mead visit.

    It's... fine? If you like warm rooms, flat pillows, and free peep shows…read more We stayed here Saturday night, August 2nd, in Room 105 -- a ground-floor double. The front desk clerk was awesome. Super helpful, gave us the full run-down without us even needing to ask. Honestly, she was the highlight of the stay. Now, the room... Let's just say the A/C was doing its best, like a kid trying to push a truck uphill. We kept it running all night, and it almost kept the room tolerable. We're 70-degree people -- this place topped out at "lukewarm but survivable." Not miserable, just... confusing. Is it really that hard to cool down a hotel room? Privacy? Bring your imagination -- and your own curtains. The window shades are basically see-through mesh. If the lights are on, you might as well be in a fishbowl. We had to get creative MacGyver-style with some extra clothes to block the window so we weren't putting on a shadow puppet show for passersby. Beds? Firm. Like the kind of firm that makes you wonder if the mattress is secretly a disguised picnic table. Pillows were flatter than the Nevada desert. Thankfully I travel with backups -- next time I'll bring four. On the plus side, everything else in the room seemed clean and functional. Nothing gross. No weird smells. It gets a gold star for basic hygiene. Would I stay again? Eh... probably not. It's not awful, just not my flavor of comfortable. I'd roll the dice somewhere else next time.

    I only came to Vegas for the Mint 400 Off Road Race in March of 2026 and booked a room here. I…read moredon't care to stay on, or near the Strip as the costs are so ridiculous. This place was exactly what I was looking for. My criteria was simple, I wanted to stay away from the Strip, had a cozy bed, hot shower with GREAT water pressure (this was crucial after being beat up by the wind/dust out in the desert all weekend), quiet, safe, plenty of parking for my large Truck and to be on the 1st Floor. Of course, they had AC, fridge and flat screen TV in my room and it was super clean. It smelled GREAT, too! I was out most of the days and came back after dinner and still found plenty of parking and only saw a guy walking his dog and a few other people coming and going. Otherwise, it was quiet and safe. I love the location as it was 5 minutes from Downtown Boulder City, which is a cool place to visit. Grocery store, gas and Starbucks just across the street. It was so convenient as I don't need room service and I didn't even use the pool or jacuzzi. The Price is FANTASTIC! No resort or parking fees and yes, it's an older place that has more of a retro 70-80's style to it. I'm not looking for fancy or luxury fixtures as long as everything works and I was comfortable, I'm fine. So, if you're looking for a comfortable, affordable and safe place to stay that's close to Hoover Dam, the Strip and the offroad race, check this place out. It only took me 30 minutes to get to the spectator area entrance. Totally happy with my stay. As for the people working there, they were super nice and friendly to me. Thank you Navada Inn! I will defiantly be back!

    NEW NAME IS: Lake Mead INN…read more The evening of Easter Sunday 2026, after a long exhausting day which began at 4am, we fell fast asleep before 8pm.  10:30pm someone was pounding on our door yelling "open the door", who's in there", "what's your name". Was it a husband looking for his cheating wife, or maybe a person high on drugs, we had no idea. My husband looked through the peep hole, never saw the oriental man before, and asked what was going on. In poor English and in anger, the man just kept saying "open the door" and "what's your name".  My husband opened the door and said, "you must have the wrong room", "I don't know you", "I'm not giving you my name", and finally "go away". The man left, but we slept lightly after that, waking at every little sound. In the morning my husband went to the office to report the incident and was told that our room was rented to someone else and when they came to the room they found the door latched from the inside. (we were out cold and didn't even hear them trying to enter our room) They said that the office records indicated the room was vacant. So the man was employed by the hotel and it was a software error or an office error, but how did that situation require such an abrupt angry response TOWARDS US, paying guests? It was an extremely inappropriate and unprofessional way to handle THEIR problem. Even the explanation he gave was given without apology and with an angry attitude.  My husband asked when the manager was coming in and said he'd be back then, at 10am, to talk with him about the situation and a refund. We packed and loaded our luggage into the car, but left our food in the fridge to stay cool while we drove to a few local spots we were unable to visit the day before.  We had the room until 11am and planned to be back by 10am for the talk and after that we'd get our food and head home. We arrived back a little after 9:30am, the manager was there, his attitude was cold and uncaring but he told the oriental man to apologize. The man said that he already said he was sorry and wasn't going to say it again. The manager said he'd take $40.00 dollars off our bill, and we left to get our food from the room. We found the door to our room wide open. The woman that cleaned was in the bathroom. My husband asked why she was in our room, it was our room until 11am, we hadn't checked out yet, then he opened the fridge and asked where our other bag of food was. She mumbled something but it wasn't in English. The bag was no longer tied shut as we had left it, but opened, and in the bathroom with her. She handed it to me and we left. When we got home I opened the food container and found food was missing and there were 2 small bites missing from my chicken breast.  The $40.00 refund didn't even cover the cost of the leftover food we had to through out. For these reasons we will never go back there.  As for a regular review of the hotel:  We used this hotel last year and the young man was the same man that checked us in then. So, he was not new at his job, I don't think the error was made by him, the receipt he gave us had the room number on it and check in went fine.   We knew that the rooms were not high quality. The price was not low but it was the lowest near the area we wanted to be in. The location is great and we had a busy weekend planned so the room was just a place to shower and sleep. The first thing I'll mention is that the grounds were not cared for in a very long time. Their "desert rocks" landscaping, which is everywhere, had more knee high weeds than rocks! The cracks in the cement walkway to our room were filled with rabbit droppings and healthy weeds. The outside areas were definitely not this bad last year. The inside of the room was as we expected with sloppy paint smears and splatters throughout the room. The floor had carpet squares which are easy to replace if they get stained, yet beside the dining table two squares had a huge stain and we're not replaced. Adhered to the shower wall are pump containers of shampoo conditioner and body wash. The shampoo was orange, and there was orange shampoo still on the wall of the shower from a previous user.  The furnishings are old and the night stand had a ring stain from someone placing something very hot on it. You can't login to your Netflix account because the hotel did not wish to pay the provider the $2.00 extra per room so guests could access this service. This review platform is limited to 5000 characters so I have to stop. Next year we'll spend the extra for a nicer room, but more importantly, for management and staff that understand that paying guests are the reason they have a job.

    Scary place for women!…read more And now they call themselves Lake Mead Motel. Arrived late at night. First room, the tub didn't drain. How can you clean a tub and not notice that? Worse after that they gave me a key to an OCCUPIED room. Imagine arriving late as a women traveling alone with a young girl and be given the key to a room already occupied. I'm lucky I wasn't shot or worse waking someone up like that. And to add insult to injury. The manager got upset with me as if I wanted to try my luck with an occupied room. And apparently, if you stay here, it's your fault for not immediately checking that the tub drains. Terrible. I used to like this place for being clean and convenient. Something changed. The whole time I was worried they'd give someone else the key to my room. Don't stay here.
