Nice new rooms or nicely updated. Close to casino if you like it that way. I would recommend upper floors for less traffic. Restaurant is excellent. Cafe is a bit slow in service.

Arrived here on a Friday night and was happy to get off the road after a long day. Check-in was friendly and fast. We stayed here as it was pet friendly and the area for dogs was fairly clean and large enough. Room was huge and comfortable. As we where with pet we were a long way from casino and... More

I was expecting better because a friend of mine had stayed there and liked it. So on my trip to Salt Lake City I decided to stop there and spend the night. Unlike my friend, I was not highly impressed. Perhaps I arrived on a bad day. I don't know. When I arrived there was nobody at the front desk.... More

Nice, big rooms. Got a great night sleep in a very comfy bed and a room that was quiet. There was a 3 hr power outage during our stay when a transformer blew out. But we were too tired to even care. They allow dogs, but do charge a small fee...like $10 or so. There are grassy areas right around... More

I'm not going to drone on about this Hotel. It's a decent place to stay in Elko. The renovated rooms are pretty good for the age of the property and what they had to work with. The beds are comfortable. But man... the smoke throughout this place and even the stench in the non-smoking rooms is really bad. The doors... More

The rooms that me and my friend got were huge, with a balcony. Our rooms were clean, and didn't smell smokey like some other reviewers have mentioned. Has an outdoor pool that was closed during winter months. Has a couple of decent restaurants. The WiFi worked great throughout the hotel area.

We both dont smoke, stayed in a non smokers room, was almost as bad at the registration desk, I do understand you can smoke virtually anywhere but still it's pretty gross. The room was decent facing away from the road, the bed was decent, the fixtures were decent. The coffee garden service was good, the gym looked decent, besides the... More

When I arrived to check in my room, the male Auditor was extremely rude & insisted I wasn't in their computer.
