There were a few stains on the carpet and the lamp shade was cracked (dated), but the bathroom was super clean, the towels and sheets were soft & fresh, staff was friendly, nice breakfast. It was nice to have a fridge/freezer as we had Cornish Pasties we bought and wanted to take home to family. We felt comfortable.

Breakfast was good and well stocked with breakfast sandwiches (JimmyDean), yogurt, juice, waffles, cold cereal and fruit. No complaints! Easy parking even though the motel was full. Quiet and safe night.

We'll be back. Pool looks like it has been dry for several seasons. other than that... I was impressed by the overall cleanliness. The breakfast options were good, but nothing special. Room was clean and well maintained. Location was excellent and parking was very good.

Negative: Vanity counter wasn’t cleaned -dried up lotion on the counter . Freezer had frost and crumbs - gave it the appearance that it wasn’t cleaned. Refrigerator racks appears too old - they’re cracked showing the metal that appears rusty. Fitted sheet had very light stain. Time to invest in a new toilet seat - clean but the white paint has been rubbed off giving it an unpleasant appearance Body lotion instead of body wash in shower -

One thing I’ll say about this motel is the advertise two queen beds, but it was definitely two full beds. I would’ve never booked it if I known that, I measured them I know that.

That said, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. But it was not “deep clean.” It just badly needs to be updated. But then it would be more expensive of course. It was ok and I’d stay again in a pinch.

The convenience and also.a former employee.. Should have a locals value. I only had to stay because I have a massive broken.water pipe somewhere under ground out here in spring creek . Have no means for a back hoe. Still looking into one. So more than likely I will be.needing more nights stay. I am managing to stay in my house on weekends because I understand rates are higher on weekends and big events.

The Thunderbird is acute mid century style motel. The lobby is neat and the breakfast is pretty generous. The parking lot isn’t OK shape. The rooms are just OK but in need of fresh paint and repairs of such things as wood trim that is scratched and old. Also, the room wasn’t clean that well as I found change other things lying about the carpet. Sketch people staying at the motel and the surrounding area is questionable.

While this is an older motel on the outside, the staff and cleanliness make the Thunderbird motel a great value. Free breakfast with Hot Coffee is always a plus. Within walking distance of the Star Hotel which has great Basque Food. Looking forward to staying here again the next time passing through Elko.

For a one night stay, it wasn’t bad. Somewhat musty smell in the room, but it was clean. The “English breakfast” isn’t. Just some microwaveable egg/sausage muffins, cold cereal or oatmeal, yogurt and a waffle maker. Standard stuff, but not as advertised. The place could use a good facelift all around, but for one night it was fine.

I was pleasantly surprised by the overall cleanliness and comfort of the room. It was well-equipped with fridge and coffee maker. Staff were friendly, despite my late arrival. I'll be sure to stay at the Thunderbird next time I pass through Elko There were some paint repairs needed in the bathroom, but nothing indicating real neglect.

Friendly staff! Pet friendly! It was safe leaving the luggage in the car! Very close to I-80! Unfortunately the bed I used had long brack hairs among the sheets and the floor was not clean! I found a chewing gum stuck on the bed cover! I think they should be better.

The room was clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, the towels were thin and the wash cloths turned gray when wet. They need to be replaced badly. The freezer in the mini fridge had so much frost I couldn't fit the ice packs from my cooler into it to refreeze them

It is an older facility and I understand that, but the carpet had some vet dirty spots, the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a while even tho you could smell the cleaning supplies. The bed the bed really was the deal breaker it was extremely hard. It was like sleeping in the floor. Woke up everyday with a soreness in my body. I had to go to a chiropractor it was hurting so bad.

Dog friendly, comfortable beds, coffee maker and microwave available. Floors were made up of all different carpet squares that looked dirty. There were no designated areas for the dogs to go potty. TV buffered the whole time we were there. However, the manager did try to help with the buffering with no success. Motel is a little shotty. Won't stay again.

My stay was fine. It was clean and quiet and had all the basics, fridge, microwave, hair dryer and nice toiletries. Bed was comfortable enough with simple sheet/blanket combo. You have to remember this is an old motel with a lot of history and nostalgia so you are not going to get anything modern or fancy. Location was good with everything being with-in 5-10 min away. For a two night stay it was budget friendly.

Our room at the Thunderbird Motel in Elko was as clean and tidy as they always are. This motel is thoroughly cared for and always offers an excellent stay. The only downside to this visit was a slightly disappointing continental breakfast. With the exception of the microwaveable breakfast sandwiches, everything else was sugared or sweetened. Please offer unsweetened oatmeal and/or cereals for those who cannot eat sugar or sweeteners. Thank you.

During a vacation that included many hotels and Thunderbird turned out to be the best. We had a myriad of good rooms, with one upgrade to a suite at a big name Hotel. The sweet was okay the toilet was dirty and they were still wet washcloths in the shower. We stayed at some econ friendly hotels that were basically life or death. The Thunderbird is tucked amongst historic hotels of tourist driven Elko Nevada. Great checking experience, friendly staff, clean, inviting swimming pool, a clean and comfortable hotel room. Out of the many places we stayed on our multi-state vacation a Thunderbird is the only one I would recommend.

I was on a motorcycle. They were able to give me a nice room where I could park my bike right in front of it. Very accommodating and friendly staff.

Massive stains on the carpet, headboard still mounted to the wall although the 2nd bed was not there, torn curtains, someone else’s food left in the fridge, worn out toilet seat, hair in the tub. I have pics of all this if Expedia would like to see.

A very pleasant and prompt check in. The room was clean, comfortable, and afforded a good nights rest.

I asked about a good meal. He suggested the Starr. It didnt disappoint, food was excellent. We had 2 room and everything was good. Even though they were full, he still helped me with the inputs on my tv. Guy seemed like he has never been stressed. Good dude. We also left a tablet. I called and he shipped it to our home. Very very good people. Hotel is older but clean. They have a few comfortable chairs and mini tables in them which made it easy to feed our kids. Thanks for everything !!!!

An older property that has been well kept. It was a good place for quick overnight stay. The room however did have an off smell in it. The property was nearly full and parking was scarce.

Place needs maintenance. Fix the shower. Replace stained and dirty carpet tiles. Get a fridge that doesn't make a loud noise. Extra pillows should be standard. Couple next door caused us to leave ASAP, but that is not the fault of the motel. Some people are just miserable.

The location is very convenient, close to the interstate and right into town. The motel is a very old building but in good shape. The bedding and furnishings were clean, but the remote control and door handles were pretty filthy. It was evident they don't clean the walls or handles on anything in the room on a regular basis, or after each vacancy. Overall it was a decent place to stay the night.

This is a location that is a way point between Yosemite and Yellowstone, not much to see or do if you are not into gambling. A typical town that has seen better days. Thunderbird is clean, safe, updated. Adequate breakfast for traveling on the road. A value overall

This is an older property, but well maintained. The unit was clean with all the little amenities added (shampoo, soap, etc). The manager was helpful when I couldn't get my key to work properly (operator failure). As we were turning in the key, the manager wished us safe travels and a good day. It was a very clean and friendly place to stop at.

The hotel is little dated but good service and cleanliness, I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent value. Very clean and the owners were friendly, personable and kind. Even though the place was almost sold out, my room was very quiet and nice. I liked the art in my room. Thank you for a great stay!

Only complaint it- I left at 7am and still no breakfast was out. Huge bummer. I travel for work and I count on that breakfast before I hit the road.

It was cheap and average. You get what you pay for. We were on a cross country road trip and this was a half way point. Little mining town with average casinos. Front desk staff very nice. Had frozen bfast sandwiches and burritos which were nice. Room was old and run down but pretty clean. Worked for us for the night.

The bed and the room is clean and comfortable, breakfast was basic but good. The pool was a nice treat. This motel is right in the heart of old town and has the only working sign on the strip, managementis putting in an good effort. I would stay again if in this place, value for money.

I was appreciative of having a room ready for me late at night when I arrived after a long day of driving. But what on earth happened to the second bed in my room (it’s missing) and what’s with the bleach stain on the carpet? Never mind, I don’t want to know. I did sleep well in the remaining bed, and for that, I’m glad.

As traveling entertainers we stay in a lot of hotels. I found they had rooms pet friendly and not pet friendly. So if you choose a room that is pet friendly there is still a fee for a pet…Not so friendly. I read reviews for this place much better than we experienced

Great experience. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the spaciousness of the room and the Paul Mitchell shampoo. The breakfast selection was a nice change for us as we have been in several hotels lately. The AC didn’t work well by morning, but made the room cool enough to sleep in. The staff were friendly as well. We would be happy to stay here again. Thank you for an affordable option for our family.
