The Thunderbird is an older motel. . . one of those where you should immediately take off the bed spread and stash it. Saying that, at $70 the price, including breakfast coupons, is very good. The rooms are large, quiet, clean, and comfortable. . . and include a small fridge and microwave. The location is convenient . . . on... More

This motel met our needs. The room is small but clean. There is a small fridge and microwave. Check in was easy and the staff was friendly. If you like steaks there is a great restaurant across the street at the Star. It serve basque style. Make sure you are hungry. There is a lot of food.

Like many other reviewers, I was pleasantly surprised by the Thunderbird motel. The room was spacious and clean as well as well stocked in the bathroom. Location-wise, it was conveniently near the small downtown casinos as well as the two primary Basque restaurants. They also include a coupon for food at the Red Lion which almost paid for a free...

very busy place and sold out before the evening was over. Most of the guests were out of state contractors for whatever was going on nearby. Very clean and very friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed here because of price and good Trip Advisor reviews. There are a lot comments about the wonderful staff. I don't need over-the-top cheeriness; just don't like rudeness. The desk clerk was not rude, just businesslike. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Kind of 60s style furniture. The AC was controlled by a thermostat which did not seem to... More

If it's a basic, simple, no-frills place you're looking for to get a good night's sleep, this works great. We left early the next morning,... More

The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast at the Gold County Casino very good (and, we were told, better than the other restaurant where you can spend your breakfast coupon). We arrived on the train (ask the conductor to phone ahead for a taxi to collect you on arrival at Elko) and left on the bus. The minibus driver... More

Very pleased with the property. The room was clean and comfortable. A/C worked good too. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We would most definitely stay here again.Be sure to try Biltoki for AWESOME Basque food!!

We spent one night here based primarily on recent favorable TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and competent (attributes that are becoming less and less common), the room average-sized (similar to a low-price chain) but clean and well-decorated with art and attractive wallpaper. The room had a fridge and microwave but no coffee maker; hot coffee... More
