Top Elko Hotel Reviews

Thunderbird Motel

8/10 Good

"I have three things to say. Great staff, clean room, and something I always want is and A/C. They gotta get the room really cold. I got all three was extremely satisfied, and if I pass through Elko again, I will definitely stay there."

Gold Country Inn and Casino by Red Lion Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a sleek, ultra-modern hotel with minimalist furniture and a room the size of a shoebox…keep driving. But if you appreciate a little retro charm, enormous rooms, cleanliness, comfort, and genuinely friendly service, this place is a gem! Yes, the hotel is dated—but I prefer to call it “beautifully retro,” with a definite 1960s vibe. And honestly? We LOVE it. The rooms are huge, clean, comfortable, and everything is clearly well maintained. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about the whole place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a different era without having to sacrifice a good night's sleep. The front desk staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a huge difference after a long day on the road. And the location is fantastic—right on the main street, with easy access on and off the highway. We make several road trips, and Elko is our perfect halfway point, so this is officially becoming our go-to stop. We’ll absolutely be staying here again. Five stars for service, comfort, cleanliness, location, and retro charm. Why fix what isn't broken?"
