Hotel is very dated but clean. Very sketchy people hanging around. Went to check in and nobody at the front desk. Rang the bell 3 times still didn't come. When she finally did she was very snappy and rude but as we stood there she became mire friendly. Think we interrupted her nap. I feel its a little high priced for the condition of the place
Probably wouldn't stay again

The new owners are doing a remarkable job of remodeling and updating this property. Extremely comfortable beds, quality, refrigerators, and microwaves, along with coffee service in the rooms. Bathrooms are being updated, and the heating and air-conditioning units are being replaced. When the remodeling is complete, it will be a lovely property. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. I will stay here again.

It's an older motel. You definitely get what you pay for. The bed was comfy. AC was off when I arrived and it was 90 out. Ugh! The poor AC ran the entire stay and was only mildly cool. It barely blows the air but there was a ceiling fan to help.
The room didn't have a security latch. I always think that's so shady.
Shower was nice though.
Tiniest little parking lot you ever did see.
Not the most terrible place I've stayed.

Large, clean room but a few issues that would prevent me from staying there again. The chairs in the room were old and dirty, the refrigerator cabinet was worn out and when I looked behind it there was so much dust and dirt and doubt if they’d vacuumed there in the last 2 years. And when I registered the front desk clerk warned me the internet would probably not work in the room and I would probably have trouble opening the door with the key card. It worked the first night, but sure enough, on my way back from breakfast I could not get back in my room and had to get a new card.

You stay here because you want something that's cheap yet acceptable. If you're looking for bling, double or triple your budget and stay at a bigger name hotel.

Property was dated, but clean. All furniture, door hardware, lights, etc. were worn but functional. Bed was comfortable. Perfect for a solo traveler with minimal expectations. Area was quiet--this is where working people who have to get up a 4 AM stay.

A bed and pillow for 50 bucks what can you really expect? The room could have used some freshening up, and the TV had it's wires and TV box dangling from the wall. Remote was tricky to use properly, but there wasn't much interesting to watch anyway. Otherwise, it was a room to sleep so for the money, and a one night stay it was fine.

This is a clean, well apportioned property with one exception. The toilet in our room is what I would call a \"trainer\" toilet. The seat height barely reached the bottom of my knee joint (I'm 5'5\"). Fortunately (or unfortunately) I am also in my mid 70's. It was excruciatingly difficult to, at my age get up from this especially since there no assist bar. Other than this I would give it a 9. So if you're young -- a great deal.

The stay was great, rooms were good but there was a couple things that could use some attention. 1) the AC unit did work, but not that great. It was near 100 degrees outside and the AC was on full, but it was still warm in the room and made it difficult to get a good sleep. I prefer it to be a little cooler. The rooms near the road can get a little bit of road noise. There was also a broken wooden piece that went to the bench near the bathroom that needed to be repaired. Other than that, the rooms were very well maintained and clean. The price was great so I would probably stay there again if available.

At Second glance it looked better

We booked late and arrived late after driving from Yellowstone. Everything worked smoothly and was ready when we arrived. Price seems fair.

There is plenty of parking, neighborhood looks safe. Some iditols were yelling outside in the middle of the night.

Clean, very quiet for being in town. Beds comfortably. It looks like someone started a renovations. Still needs a few fixes. A mirror on the wall is only attached with one screw and the box for tissues keeps falling off the wall.

Plenty of towels.

However, when we first entered the room, we were taken back. The smell was awful, and it made the room look dingy and dirty. The AC looks dirty and smells horrid. We were lucky enough that it was a cool night and we could open the windows and only use the fan.

While the cost, on-site owner, and bed were completely acceptable, my room was in need of repair and updating. There is no elevator, as the building only has two stories, but carrying a heavy suitcase up the stairs was somewhat difficult. The breakfast is sparse—cereal and fruit—but the fact that anything is offered is surprising for a motel room at its price point.

Pretty good and budget friendly!

Pros:

The bed was comfortable. Sheets were clean.
New floor and tub tile was nice.
Had a clean microwave and fridge.
Comfortable on a budget price.
Cons:
Tight parking lot. No room for big vehicles.
Ceiling fan rattled when on, but only needed it one night.
Floor heater in bathroom not clean.
Wall ridge in bathroom was quite dusty.
When turning on the shower, if the pull up knob was not up all the way, the pipes made a horrible sound in the walls. Be sure you pull it up completely!
Overall: it was a good stay for not a lot of money. It served our needs and we slept well!

The property is quite old and the outside is dull and unappealing. It could use a little sprucing-up. But, for the very reasonable price, it was a clean and comfortable place to spend a night. Despite the wear and tear of time, the general condition is good, and the room was warm and appealing. Also, the manager and his wife were courteous and accommodating. If I come back to Elko, I would be perfectly happy to book the room again.

When we had trouble with our key card, the desk clerk re- coded it and told me to pass the coded stripe slowly in the reader. It worked. It’s an older motel and desperately needs maintenance and updating. The shower water knob was missing the lever to rotate the on/off knob. Luckily I had a pair of pliers in my truck to turn the knob. There was peeling paint in areas. The breakfast choices were very limited but I expected that, so that was no surprise. The staff was friendly and accommodating though. I do have photos of the deficiencies but can not post here. At the time of booking this motel had a rating of \"8\". I have no faith in Expedia's ratings.

Rodeway needs some work

There was an odor of urine in the corner by the table. Maybe someone snuck an animal in by another guest. Because it’s a no pets facility.
The beds were comfortable but who ever made them needs a lesson in clean corners.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. When we had trouble with our key the desk clerk came up with me and help.

There was a coffee pot but nothing to make coffee with or cups and the normal condiments.
