    This was a pleasant stayConsidering that this is an older motel, it was very nice. After being on the road for a couple of days it felt great to be able to take a nice hot shower and rest and a comfortable bed with an air-conditioning unit that worked. staff was nice a good location literally within walking distance to either gas station or somewhere to eat. I would definitely stay here again.

    Had a problem with the air conditioner- used it to cool the room- work ed first but then never came back on. Got warm during the nite - very uncomfortable sleeping. Breakfast was very basic and no place to sit and eat it. Review were really good but it did not live up to those high reviews. I would say 5-6 out of 10!’

    The staff was wonderful. Friendly and helpful. It is an older establishment, but kept clean and the beds were comfortable. It would be nice if breakfast was offered till a later time. 9:00 works well for those that stay and then off to work. However, if you are on vacation 9 doesn’t allow for any leisure getting on with your day. We never got breakfast….not complaining…just a suggestion .

    Not a breakfast person so I just had a donut and coffee. This thing I liked the most was how friendly and accommodating the manager Pete P was. He is a very likable and professional individual. I also liked the fact the room was a non smoking room and smelled fresh and was very clean. I also asked fo a ground floor room and got it. This was important to me for health reasons. I have absolutely no complaints.

    The owner was wonderfully friendly, went out of his way to help us with dinner recommendations, and also helped troubleshoot the TV in the room (Direct TV does this stupid thing where it needs to be reset after 12 hours of not being used and its terrible for hotels). The room was surprisingly large and the way the pillows and towels were displayed you could tell the owners really care about the place. If you're in Elko and need a place to stay I would totally recommend Stay Express Inn.

    I did not personally stay here myself. I booked this place for my BF who got a job in Elko. He ended up staying at this motel for about 3-4 weeks until he found a place. He said it was fine. He had a roof over his head and the price was great. Hope this helps. I didn't like that I was able to book the room for my BF from NJ but the front desk said I had to be there in person in order for him to check-in the room. Just because I had used my card. I felt like it was useless to ask me if I was booking the hotel for someone else and then make me add all of their information if they can't physically check-in without me.

    Vintage, cute, very clean. Nice tv, small table and chairs. Adequate lighting. A/c worked well, though quite loud. Certainly not modern but the bathroom appears to be recently updated. And, the flooring appears to be newerluxury vinyl. No funky smells in room. Mighty hard/ firm mattress and pillows!! Definitely not for side sleepers.

The property is being upgraded by the owners and the rooms are extremely clean, with more than adequate towels, the sheets are new and clean, the pillows new. No pets or smoking is allowed on the property. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking area is being upgraded and there's a big city park very close by. There are more than adequate restaurant options including a Chinese restaurant right next door to the motel. There's an Albertson's supermarket nearby along with banking and other services. All in all, I'll stay here again if I'm passing through Elko and as I said, for under $100 you simply can't do any better than this property.

    Although breakfast is included with stay, there is no dining room at this place. The food is located at the check-in desk area, where you must place your breakfast on a tray and then walk it across a parking lot to your room. On top of this logistical inconvenience, a key staff member questions you on how much food is appropriate on your tray. Otherwise, the room is very clean and modern.

    The service was great. The hostess did an amazing job. The outside looks old and rundown. However, the room looked recently renovated. They were very nice and clean. My only complaint is that the showerhead needs to change to one with a bit less power. Even though you can control the water pressure, the low pressure still felt like it wanted to rip my skin off, and I was not fond of that feeling. I was told the Inn is close to a fair grounds, but we didn't check it out. There's a Chinese restaurant in the same plaza. My husband and I ate there for dinner and found it at best, edible. I would recommend the Stay Express inn, but not the Chinese restaurant next door.

    When we first pulled up and I looked at the outside of the motel, I told my husband that we were not going to stay there. We were going to find somewhere else, but I had already booked the room and paid to figuring for it so I thought I would at least check it out. The room was tiny, but it was immaculately clean. And the sheets were the most comfortable sheets. I think I’ve ever slept on.

    4/5

    When we first pulled up and I looked at the outside of the motel, I told my husband that we were not going to stay there. We were going to find somewhere else, but I had already booked the room and paid to figuring for it so I thought I would at least check it out. The room was tiny, but it was immaculately clean. And the sheets were the most comfortable sheets. I think I’ve ever slept on.

    Great find. Reviews are good for this property as owners care and offer great service. Paul was very kind at check in. The room had a comfortable bed, good shower that drained, and I liked how the parking lot was well lit up at night. We will be back.

    Wasn't ever able to be able to check in my room because their system was down front desk was supposed to get back with me and let me know when the system was up and ready so he can check me in and never did to do so poor customer service. Understand if it's limited training due to just a feeling but don't take down a number and say that you're going to get back to someone that's been waiting for their room and never even tried to make it attempt

    We just needed a place to sleep for one night. The bed was comfy and check in easy even though we had a late arrival. The managers were friendly. Breakfast included juices, cereal/oatmeal, muffins, bread, apples, yogurt, string cheese, and a waffle maker for fresh waffles. Trays were available to take the food back to your room since there were no dining tables in the breakfast area. Our room was quiet for sleeping but could hear other guests in the morning. The only negative was the shower head in our room, 112 needs to be replaced.

    We booked this hotel because it was rated 9.0 out of 10, and it had laundry facilities. $6.00 for one load of wash, and another $2.00 for a dryer load. The bedspread had a blood stain on it that we found when we turned it down, and later when we pulled down the sheets to climb into bed there was debris in between the sheets. Hair, lint and other dirt. It was very late, so we just slept in our clothes. The man at the desk was also rude and consending to my wife. I would give it a 3 out of 10.

I said I'd take the room on the second floor then all of a sudden he had a room available on 1st floor. Room had an updated bathroom but the carpet was old and the rest of the room was not updated. It was clean and met all of my needs for the night, including a convenient bottom floor to parking, refrigerator, microwave, and in room coffee. I was happy about that. The TV was disconnected but the gentlemen at the desk was very helpful and came and fixed the issue.

    This was perfect for an overnight stay during a multi-day cross country road-trip. At first we were wary, as the outside of the property looks a little run down, but the room looked newly remodeled and was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The proprietor was exceptionally helpful and kind. The breakfast had more options than we expected. The wifi did not work during our stay, which wasn't a big deal to us, but would have been an annoyance for a longer stay. Great value overall, and we would stay again if passing through.

    Main thing was to have a safe parking spot for my car since I was moving and had a lot of stuff in there. People that work at the mines stay here with all their equipment on their trucks. Nothing gets stolen! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Small continental breakfast, very quiet and clean. We did have one bed that looks like the sheet was not changed but there was plenty of top blankets to cover it and still sleep. Bathroom sink also sometimes was not draining well. I think all pipes might be connected so if someone else was running water it would slow. Also water pressure from the shower is super strong which was amazing!! I will definitely stay here again if I’m the area.
