Our only complaint with this hotel is the pet friendly statement online. The pet friendly rooms were a little more costly, and when we arrived we were charged an extra pet fee of $20, which is not stated anywhere on the website. Furthermore, they have no accommodations for pets to relieve themselves. We were told to walk them around the block, which is very inconvenient, especially in bad weather. Other than that, parking was good. Place was clean, even though on the older side.

The only thing I did not like was the bed as it was too soft for me. I woke up very stiff the next morning. But otherwise, it has been a motel that we've stayed at on several prior trips through Elko. Thank you!
