Disclaimer: I've been staying at The California Hotel for most of my trips to Vegas, so I'm very familiar with the property and maybe have gotten used to things that I might call out if I stayed here for the first time.
When I was younger, I thought the Cal was OK. I mean, it's a nice property (especially since the renovation a few years back), but it didn't have the glitz and the glamour of Strip properties. But now that I'm older, I really appreciate the the size and intimacy of the property. It's not a long walk to the casino or to restaurants and even when it's crowded, it doesn't feel like I'm bumping elbows with people. I've become one of those "low floor, near elevator" person when requesting a room. It's also connected to Main Street Station and is a short walk to Fremont Street Experience. And I normally bump into my friend's dad whenever I visit. 😁

| Standard room. I'm not sure what the official name of this tower is, but it's the "mezzanine" tower next to Market Street Cafe (vs. the Buddha tower, next to the Buddha near the front desk). We had two queen beds. |
 |
| Love having a desk in the room. There's a safe and a mini refrigerator. The door was missing from the cabinet with the safe and refrigerator. |
 |
| View from the room. |
 |
| Nice size tv. I like the full left length mirror. |
 |
| Separate seating area. We couldn't open the shutters on the right because the lamp was in the way, and the lamp was a little bent, as you can see. |
 |
| Closet area and entrance to the bathroom. |
 |
| I like the large vanity space in the bathroom. The bathrooms in the Buddha tower is smaller and doesn't have much countertop space. |
 |
| Shower |
 |
| Did you know that the Cal has a pool?!?!? It's totally tiny. It wasn't open on our visit, so these are pictures from a previous trip. |
 |
| Another view of the pool. There's also a tiny gym next to the pool. |
Have you stayed at The Cal? What are your thoughts on it?
