Great place to grab a night while traveling!

Traveling through we decided to stay last minute in Elko. It was later and upon arrival we were checked in fast by a very accommodating gentleman. Room was clean and we had a comfortable night stay.

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.
