The Somerset House was torn down on 27 October 2011 - what a pity.

I have been staying at Somerset House since it was brand new. Could have been the 1950s or early 1960s. I used to play in the halls with my Felix The Cat toy and a breadboard which makes Felix waddle down the board. Fifty odd years later, I still prefer their motor lodge to the big ones. The atmosphere is... More

Have received a letter from the motel returning my deposit for April 2010 and saying it has suspended operations due to the economic downturn and lack of business. The Somerset House was a little shabby but it was clean, the staff was helpful and with Convention business to do I found it much more convenient and relaxing than the bigger... More

Not only was the Somerset room dirty, there was a cockroach in the tub when we arrived. The carpet had stains and the kitchen was really gross. To end the trip, I stashed $40 in my suitcase, went for breakfast at the Greek place across the street, and it disappeared in the half hour we were gone. Obviously, an employee... More

Our room was clean (and dated) and everything worked OK. The staff was friendly and helpful. Pool looked lovely but didn't have a chance to use it. The motel is about 2-1/2 -3 long blocks from the Strip, but convenient nonetheless. We ate at the Peppermill, Denny's, and McDonalds, all within a block of each other once you reach the... More

This is not a fancy motel, but when in Las Vegas, we spend very little time in our room. It's an easy walk to the Strip. We found the room large and clean, with a small kitchen. The staff is very friendly. Built in the early 1960s, it is like an older house, somewhat dated in furnishings, but quite serviceable.... More

We stayed at the Somerset for 4 nights in March 2008. It is an easy walk to the strip, an easy walk to the convention center (and monorail), an easy walk to a good car rental place (Brooks). The Venetian and the Palazzo and the Wynn are all a 15 minute walk away. Same for the Fashion Show Mall. The... More

We have been coming to Las Vegas for 10 years now....well 2002 we didn't go. The first year we had to go through an agency to book a room and they swore they only work with the best. They didn't the place was a dump! Year 2 we stayed at a motel somewhat better than year 1 but not much...YEAR... More

The hotel was really cheap, and only a block or so away from the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was the perfect place to stay and be in walking distance to work. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The hotel is obviously really old, but it has been well maintained. The rooms were really clean, and mine even had... More
