Comfortable stay with a great location

I enjoyed my stay, especially the friendly service at the front desk. The room was comfortable and clean, making it a cozy place to rest after exploring the area. However, the noise from nearby casinos and bars can be a bit disruptive during the weekend nights.

very firm bed

Clean and comfortable accommodations with friendly staff made for a pleasant stay. The location was convenient for exploring local amenities and attractions. However, the room felt outdated, and the breakfast options lacked variety, particularly for those seeking vegetarian choices. Despite the very firm bed, the overall experience was safe and enjoyable, especially having a pet-friendly environment.

Had an awesome time with friends! We enjoyed visiting the Elko Cinema and played a round at Ruby View Golf Course. The place was clean and the breakfast hit the spot. Just be aware that parking can get a bit tight with work trucks around.

Solo Traveler's Decent Budget Stay

The check-in was fast and the staff seemed friendly enough even if a bit timid and the room I got was clean which is always a big plus for me but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the flat-screen TV in there it felt more upscale than I expected.

It wasn't exactly cheap but still you get what you pay for, right?

The stay was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean, spacious, and included all the essentials, including a fridge and a coffee maker. I appreciated the friendly service and the location was perfect, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like the Northeastern Nevada Museum. One downside was that parking could get a bit tight due to larger vehicles taking up space.

This place was a fitting option for a fleeting moment in Elko with very good value for money. The room was exceptionally clean with a nice shower that had strong hot water. Bring your own snacks since the breakfast is pretty basic.
