Arizona Charlie’s Decatur has no garage, but self-parking lots can be found in front and on both sides of the resort. The rooms are affordable with the usual basic amenities. Rooms in the Klondike Tower are the newest.
There’s also a small arcade for kids, a seasonal swimming pool with a Jacuzzi, and meeting rooms. Plus, you can bring something back for those you left at home by stopping at the General Store Gift Shop. The hotel is also located close to the Springs Preserve and Nevada State Museum.
