I liked Elko, home to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. The motel was right off of Hwy 50 and basically in the center of this small town. I was a little disappointed that I left before breakfast was served (7:00). There are Nevada motels such as in Ely where breakfast is served bright and early!

Clean, comfortable and quiet, with a decent breakfast and friendly staff. The room and amenities could use some updating but at the price I paid, I wasn’t expecting brand new. I would definitely stay here again.

Our only complaint with this hotel is the pet friendly statement online. The pet friendly rooms were a little more costly, and when we arrived we were charged an extra pet fee of $20, which is not stated anywhere on the website. Furthermore, they have no accommodations for pets to relieve themselves. We were told to walk them around the block, which is very inconvenient, especially in bad weather. Other than that, parking was good. Place was clean, even though on the older side.

The only thing I did not like was the bed as it was too soft for me. I woke up very stiff the next morning. But otherwise, it has been a motel that we've stayed at on several prior trips through Elko. Thank you!
