The breath of the past can be felt here!…read more From its inception this was the hotel to be seen at. In 1932, Jim Webb brought his dream to Boulder City . It's a luxury hotel that has air conditioning. A place for all the A listers to stay, important individuals from around the globe to plan the future. This was their home away from home. Come in you're welcome here! The Boulder Dam museum holds so many historical artifacts from the early days of the day and outlines many toils of the past during its making. As you walk the halls they scream a story . If it was not for the "Friends of the Hotel, and its rescue in 1993, it might not be as great as it is today. After World War II, and the decades following the dam was closed and tourism fell to zero . Now after its restoration the breath of fresh air fills it yet again. Make sure and visit the hotel that inside this building. You can see how the Hoover Dam was actually constructed. How the design actually achieved? See the dam from the workers point of view.

I'm usually not one to stay in a Motel, but I was rather impressed with this one. The motel was…read morenear several restaurants: BBQ, Italian, and a Diner. It's also not that far from Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. I was also surprised how quiet it is there. They do have several spots for parking and they even have a few spots for vehicles that have trailers. We stayed here with some friends in separate rooms. Their room had a bathtub and ours had a shower....a very small shower. The retro furnishings were pretty cool, but their fridge didn't seem too cold. Make sure your setting is set low. Our area had shelving above the fridge and our friends' did not. The bed was a little stiff and their pillows were the "fully stuffed" kind....they weren't really soft. Overall, not bad. You look around and see other motels and they look run down and sleazy, but this one is pretty good. If we come up this way again, we will stay here again.

The motel is about 15 minutes from the dam and is conveniently located near several good restaurants. Our room showed a little minor wear and tear, but nothing significant, and it was very clean. The motel has a fun retro vibe, right down to the vintage-style mini fridge. The front desk staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and would definitely stay here again.

His positive attitude and exceptional customer service truly set this property apart from many of the hotels we've stayed at in the past. From the moment we arrived, Nari made us feel welcome and let us know that if we needed anything during our stay, all we had to do was ask. He even shared some interesting local history about the town, which added a personal touch to our experience. Another big plus is the location. It's directly across the street from a park, making it convenient for walking our dogs. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. Overall, we had a great stay, and this will definitely be our go-to place whenever we return to the area.

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.

Let me start off by saying the manager Jeff was nothing short of incredible. The hospitality was top tier! My wife and I normally stay away from motels due to past experiences with some nasty rooms and poor service. We were a bit hesitant, but after a 7 hour drive and a visit to Hoover Dam, we needed to rest and found this lovely little city. Other motels on this strip weren't friendly and some of the staff weren't even in the office. This was our first good check mark on the list with Boulder City Inn. Jeff was in the office and super welcoming from the jump. We had asked for some recommendations on what to do around here and he gave us more than enough options on places to eat, museums, and shops near by. I had noticed throughout our time there that everyone staying there had seemed to have a liking toward Jeff and he knew everyone's name by heart, including me and my wife's. Thats the first time ive ever seen top quality service but truly just humanity on another level. Any time we would step outside we would see Jeff working on a room, or talking with guests or bringing people towels etc. I hope they are taking as good if not better care of this guy because thats someone you want working for any business. These are the people who make the foundation of a company essential. We will most certainly be visiting again. Thank you so much to Jeff and the Boulder City Inn.
