One staff good, one not. Pool was fun. Room okay, but thin metal frame under bed was constantly in the way of toes. Worst, though, the breakfast was awful -- almost a joke. This may be the best place in town, but recommended only if you have to stay in this town.

I would stay again

We very much enjoyed this motel. Check-in and out were friendly and efficient. The room was roomy, comfortable and clean. Climate control was good. The breakfast person did not come in, so there was no hot protein but other than that there were options. The coffee was pretty good and there was a selection of creamers.

The motel was very clean. The only complaint I have is the bed was hard and I didn't get much sleep because of it. The staff was excellent. It had great air-conditioning. The TV was great. Really clean motel.

Surprising in the Best Way!

Excellent stay! From the outside I wasn’t so sure but, the attention to detail - quick check in, well equipped rooms, excellent maintenance, and focused hot breakfast were exactly what I hoped for. Would definitely stay again if I’m in Battle Mountain.

Staff was very nice. Stairs leading up to the room was a little iffy, one side of the rail was broken which made walking up a little precarious. Room was dated but clean and nice.
