Quiet and clean for an older place not bad especially for the buck

This was fine for a one night stay. Bed and pillows were good. Carpet could have been cleaner. Breakfast was okay.

A clean large room motel of great value. Close to casinoes in the downtown area.

very pleasant room. Had what we needed. We do not spend much time but to sleep and shower so great for this.

I was overall very satisfied with the hotel stay. For the quality of room and the breakfast, other motels in Elko charge much more. The only complaint I have is that they have discontinued accepting American Express credit cards.

Room was clean but smelled like smoke even though we asked for non smoking. Was fine for a one night quick stop. We were just driving through.

The staff is very friendly. Krishna is awesome especially with my last minute accommodations for extending a stay while in a moving transition. Thank you so much.

older hotel, the staff were attentive and were especially helpful finding local eateries pleasant to my palate. Smokefree room was indeed smokefree, and clean.

Thank you for choosing Thunderbird Motel during your recent travels through the area. Our location near the highway makes us a convenient place for a stopover for many travelers and we are glad you appreciated this. Though you had a nice stay, we wish it could have been made better by having an odorless room. We do our best to accommodate all guest requests and we are sorry to hear that a previous guest may have smoked in your room. Should your drive bring you back through here, we would consider it a privilege to welcome you back. Thanks for sharing your review and we wish you the best!
