Cons:

Dimly lit depressing rooms, peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, dirty doors. The refrigerator has a missing inside freezer door, so everything freezes in the fridge. Crumbling sidewalks and pavement with huge hiles in it. Outside door barely closes, No outlets or light on one side of the bed. Sadly, there are a dozen or more hotels like this in Elko, all the same condition. My advice: keep driving to somewhere else.

Great location, very clean, spacious rooms, extremely dog friendly.
Pros:

Nice size room, bathroom huge,must be an ADA room. Room was near the pool, not that I used it. Very friendly staff. Grassy area close for my dog. Location great.

Cons:

Shower head was wonky, water squirting from joints. It was a regular shower head plus hand held.
Registration was in casino so smelled smokey. There was a sign on the desk, No Smoking🤣)
