“Overpriced for Old Cold Room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

I usually stay at the Motel 6 chain while traveling across country for one reason: clean no frills no surprises (price or otherwise).
I found the Motel 6 in Elko, NV to be a little overpriced for the Motel 6 line but i was REALLY exhausted so I decided to pay more than I usually would for a no frills motel.
The rooom was o.k. but nothing to recommend paying about $10 more a night than one would usually pay for a motel 6. It hadn't been recently renovated, the linens were clean but the room itself seemed shabb and the carpet seemed dirty like it had ground in dirt. I felt uncomfortable about crossing the carpet in bare feet and kept my socks on. I was right, the carpet was NASTY, the socks turned black on the bottoms in no time flat!
It was cold when I went in and had the older style heating system. I turned the heat up but it took a good 2 hours before the room got anywhere near warm which made it difficult to sleep although I was exhausted.
The bathroom linens were clean, the shower warm but the water didn't seem to get really hot (or maybe that was just my impression because the room was so cold).
I can't really recommend the overpriced Motel 6 in Elko, NV

“Friendly staff, not so friendly room.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Stayed here just one night last month. The front staff was friendly, and polite. But when we got to the room, found that while it had clean towels, the inner sheets on both beds had what looked to be dog hair on them. Also I forgot to wear bath slippers and picked up a case of foot rot. Just another sign that the room was not cleaned as well as one would have liked. The hotel also had guests that rent by the month, who as I was going to my room made me fell alittle uncomfortable about leaving my car unattended as they were just seating out in chairs in front of their rooms closely watching everything I was doing as I unloaded the vehicle. Do not think that I will stay there again.

“Bad location...good value if you just want a place to sleep.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

My boyfriend and I stopped here during a roadtrip. When I say bad location is that there is almost no place to eat around the Motel. Sheets and towels were clean...room was smaller than some Motels 6. They called us when we were already sleeping (we were in a car for more than 7hrs!) to ask if everything was ok. I don't know if that is bad or good.

“In A Pinch...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

Convient and cheap is really all I can say. The rooms smelled of chlorine although the room was neat and clean. Would not have stayed except was last minute stay.

“Great people, old property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed on Jan 24th, 2011. Town was nearly full with most motels having event prices. Motel 6 however kept their standard room rate at $43 making it the best value in town. While the property was very old & carpets badly worn, it was evident that clenliness was still a priority! The staff, management & housekeeping were great! All had a smile and were attentive! I will return!
