The front office staff very friendly. Great location, as you can walk easily to a couple of different eating locations. The place was clean, simple, no frills, kinda place. They have a small frig/freezer, coffee pot, and hair drier. They do allow dogs with a nighly fee. This site is located in the original downtown of Elko. Note for travelers with dog: there isn't a place on site or nearby with grass/truff/dirt for dogs to do their business, all pavement. However, there is a couple dog parks within about 5 minutes drive in the new part of Elko. I found those dog parks very nice, except some owners didn't cleanup after their dog (grrrr). I would definitely stay at the Thunderbird again. Tks to the staff!

I love when towns work to return their older hotels/motels to their former glory, and this one is a perfect example of that. The rooms are updated, clean, and comfortable. While we were there, there was continuous work on the outside of the buildings. The breakfast was convenient and quick, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a great value.

The Thunderbird is an older motel, in the process of renovation. The owner is very accommodating. The older furniture in the room was tasteful and in good condition. The room was set up as a double queen but one of the beds was removed giving a feeling. Comfortable and roomy breakfast area in the motel lobby.

Breakfast was the standard ‘inexpensive motel’ fare of cereals, waffle maker and frozen egg and sausage sandwich - all good but fresh fruit would be a plus. I was traveling with my dog - no doggie area.

The desk clerk, I believe he is the owner, was pleasant and helpful. I felt welcome! Rooms look old and forgotten somehow but were actually clean.

Its an old facility that could use sprucing up inside and out. Cracked and crumbling cement and stairs were dark in the corner of the building. It was a good value though and though the rooms had an old feel and look, everything there in the room was clean. Thirty year old color schemes with polyester printed quilt bedspreads made it look questionable but it was actually clean and not unpleasant smelling.

Good, clean, 2 star hotel. Pool looked very clean. Air conditioning in room worked well and the fan masked noise from adjacent rooms. Breakfast included cereal and a waffle maker, as well as orange juice and milk. Good location on the main street in Elko. Just a few blocks from the visitor center, about a block from the court house.

Wood toilet seat had paint worn off in places.

Booked this room for a 92 yr old father that was traveling from California to Montana to attend his brothers funeral... This was midway and a perfect spot for him to overnight.

Nothing that I'm aware, father said he was comfortable, not the best he had stayed in, but not the worst. He was satisfied with the accommodations.

Plenty of free parking, although the hotel is dated it is exceptionally clean. The beds were firm enough and the TV (for my kids) was huge. I try to travel on the cheaper side of things and this was priced very competitively. I checked in late - stopped at battle mountain owl club for dinner (recommend the jalapeño soup) but even though it was late during a holiday travel week - I was greeted by a kind employee who was patient with my kids.

What’s not to love? It was great.

We found a room that was mistakenly listed for very low price - when we checked in the owners said oh, you got that price but they honored it which was great. Decent breakfast for this type of motel and a clean pool. Room was clean and best of all the refrigerator had a large freezer section so we were able to refreeze the ice containers for our cooler.

all was good.

Great location downtown with many restaurant options within blocks. Exceptionally clean room and very comfortable, surprisingly quiet. All the basics, and extremely good value.

Breakfast. All premade breakfast sandwiches or a waffle machine. Juice, coffee, and cereal. No toaster with bagels or English muffins, which would have suited us much better. To be fair, other guests seemed to like it though.

Ni-shan, the receptionist, made everything very easy when searching for my booking. We continued our conversation next morning at breakfast. He is a very helpful, diligent young man- very accommodating.

Cannabis smoke entered my room through the vent twice during the night. Is this 'no smoking'? Not something I expected, and didn't want to complain at midnight.
