This place is a hidden gem. The rooms have been renovated and are very nice. Extremely quiet area and felt very safe in the surroundings. The room was very clean, bed comfortable and roomy. The owner/operators were very nice, personable and attended to each guest to ensure they were happy. They smiled a lot and truly care about your happiness. I travel a lot all over the country, staying in hotels nightly at 6 weeks at a time. Very refreshing to be acknowledged, spoken to and in a place that is inviting. Will definitely stay again.
Everything was great!

Outside is an older motel, but our room was very nice. Clean, everything worked well. We had a smaller room with a king bed, but roomy enough, Bed was comfy, shower worked great. The woman at the desk was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Very reasonable price for a very nice overnight stay.
Minimal continental breakfast- packaged muffins, cereal, fruit. But for the price of the motel, that is what I would expect.

I left before breakfast but I was impressed with the cleanliness and comfort for the price
The only thing I didn't like was the water was soft. Which isn't a bad thing just not for me. If you like showering and feeling like your skin is so soft you can't tell if the soap is washed off or not. Then this the place for you. I've stayed in other more expensive hotels in elko and I'm not impressed. Dirty, grungy and worn down. Stay inn express was remodeled and very comfortable plus the ac is freezing cold. Heater is hot. Room was nice and has wifi and cable. 2 thumbs up. Polite staff as well.

The guy behind the desk is really nice and has good recommendations for local restaurants. The room was clean the value was there.
The bed had seen better days and the a/c worked loudly and hardly.

My room was very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. When in Elko, I will be staying at this hotel again. The price was great and the location is easy to get to.
There are a lot of mine personnel that stay here, and the parking is a little insufficient for their trucks. The shower head could be better in the room I had, I am tall and I couldn't adjust the direction.

You have a lot of choices in Elko but I would definitely recommend Stay Express for location, convenience, and especially the comfort and quality of the room with all its amenities. Great value for the cost. Pete and his family were super helpful too.
Can’t think of a single thing

Owner checked us in and allowed us to modify our multi-day reservation. She was super friendly and gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner at a local restaurant off of the main street. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast waffle maker and yogurt was nice bonus.

Friendly & helpful hosts, very clean & spacious room, very comfortable (firm) bed, good shower. Refrigerator & microwave in room. Good parking lot lighting. Excellent value.
Buildings are a little shabby, probably helps keep the price down. Parking lot is shared with neighboring restaurant so there are more vehicles to watch for when going in & out. Room deodorizer was too strong, fortunately I could open the window.

This property exceeded my expectations. The rooms were quiet, and the staff was amiable. It's a walkable area.
There was a chirping from a fire alarm. The front desk sent someone up, and were very helpful. Unfortunately, the maintenance man said it was a noise that just happened and couldn't be fixed. I fully believe it was a dying fire alarm somewhere. It was distracting, as it was louder than even the outside traffic noise.
