The Cal is Hawaii's home away from home and thousands of us can't be wrong. Vacations Hawaii makes it affordable for seniors like myself and the Boyd properties have some of the best employees on staff. Try finding superb customer service on the Strip. For a while we strayed thinking it was better doing everything on our own and staying... More

Met family from Hawaii there for an event. First issue was front desk person did not know how to check me in. Don't know how long she had worked there. Took over 40 mins. to check in. Got my room wrong, said I would have a smoking room as non-smoking was not available, even though my reservation was for non-smoking.... More

This is a hard review for me because the week before, I was in Cancun and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton which I gave 5 stars to. Anyways, hopefully not to bias but this hotel is adequate. It was clean, the air-conditioner worked fine. The location, downtown was great, you could walk to any downtown casino. You could also catch a... More

This was my first time staying at the California hotel. I was a little scared because I know it's an older hotel but to my surprise, the room was very clean and quite new. I'm guessing they renovated recently? We stayed at a high-end hotel on the strip the night before and of course, it's got more sparkle than the... More

I can't count the number of times I've stayed at the "Cal". My wife and I are from Hawaii, and this Sam Boyd property has always geared itself to the Hawaii visitor. Therefore, the staff has the spirit of Aloha and have always been very good to us. To me the value of the Cal is its location downtown and... More

Great hotel in downtown Vegas. Certainly spreads the Aloha feeling. Check out the Redwood Inn for food. The California sister hotel next door has an amazing buffet with an egg station for custom order omelettes. Soooo delicious! Walking distance to Fremont Experience. More

Stayed here 4 days in July. Hotel was ok, good situation if you like the Fremont street area. Easy parking included, lots of things to do in the Fremont street just walking around. Totally different atmosphere from the big casinos on strip. More

One of Boyd's Gaming hotel-casino, the California Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas, is home to many Hawaii residents. I mean, ask any one from Hawaii about the "Cal" and you're sure to hear about the "almost hit the big one." Don't expect too much of the hotel rooms although the rooms are spacious and clean. The newer wing's rooms have... More
