Check in basically done by you. You have to scan your ID, make your own room keys,... The "front desk" personnel are only there to give instructions on where to park and how to check in at the kiosk when you have problems. The hotel is extremely dated and no more than a place to pass out and shower in the morning after getting completely wasted on Fremont. 1 night stay works fine. I wouldn't do more than 1 night (check in at 7pm, go out at 9pm, come back at 3am, wake up at 10am, shower and check out). Anymore than that and I wouldn't recommend it at all. This is a 2 star hotel in a great location to the Fremont experience for a good price, that's it.
