A bright spot close to the middle of nowhere

Reviewed By William B

We stopped here for the night on our way to Las Vegas from Boise, Idaho. The rooms have been updated and have both electrical outlets and USB ports on the night stands. There’s a pleasant enough little casino, and a pretty good Mexican restaurant which also serves standard coffee shop fare. Service was very good. If there is anything at all unusual about your reservation request, I suggest that you call the hotel rather than make the reservation on line. As my wife and I were traveling with our adult granddaughter, I reserved 2 rooms and requested that they be adjacent if not adjoining. I also input my granddaughter’s name as the occupant of the second room. At check in the front desk clerk told me that I only had a reservation for one room. and that they were full up. I told him that I had reserved 2 rooms and showed him the confirmation email. He said that only one room was coming up on the system, wrote down my confirmation number, and excused himself. He went into the back and upon his return asked if it was possible that the second room was under another name. I told him that I had. reserved both rooms, but gave him my granddaughter’s name. Sure enough, the reservation was under her name. He suggested calling to make reservations in the future. After a bit of a fright, we had a very pleasant evening.

This is probably the nicest hotel in the Fallon area. Check in and out was quick and friendly. Although I did not eat the breakfast, the description of the breakfast sounded quite nice with a lot of variety. Best and probably most important, the room was CLEAN!!!

Cozy is the operative word

Reviewed By Glenn S

When in Austin NV you don't have a large selection of places to stay. This was referred to us by a relative which said it was clean and neat, but small. They were right about that. There was a queen bed and one small chair. The second person had to sit on the bed. The bathroom, however, was of decent size with a nice hot shower with good water pressure. This is at the base of a mountain and thus is at 6,700 feet altitude. The price was much higher that facilities that are much nicer but then again this is way out in the boonies and they have to drive a long way for supplies. They did have a nice guard cat.

Charming, home away from home atmosphere. The only motel in Ely with patio seating. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and courteous service to our customers. Great beds and linens. The motel is within walking distance of three restaurants. Free wi-fi and pets ok. In-room coffee.

Clean, quiet and under $100.

This is a great little motel for a stop over. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Our room had new carpeting although the furniture is dated. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet. We definitely stay there again on our way to Seattle.

After a long day of traveling it was a wonderful surprise at how comfortable the room was. I slept well on the mattress no sore bones in the AM. The breakfast was good though the server was quite harried and busy. If this represents all Holiday Inn Express, I will stay at this brand wherever we travel!

Average

Reviewed By ajayhawkfan

This is not a Hampton Inn nor is it a roach motel. It is an average place that had a clean room and bathroom and a comfortable bed. I was on a motorcycle trip along the Pony Express so I didn't need any more than that. The furniture and carpets were warn and dated and needs replacement. The outside also needs maintenance but all in all it is an average place. The rooms price was a little high for the quality however, the other place in town was book and this place only had a couple rooms left and I didn't want to go any further.
