All was well until I went to bed. The mattress was very hard, the pillows much too thick and very thin blankets. I was awake half the night and had much head and neck pain. Otherwise all was well.

Cute vintage motel for a cheap price.
5.0
Great value motel with everything you need. The room was very clean and had microwave and fridge, TV, comfy beds. The parking was easy, and we had no problem with crime or noise. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, the other hundreds of reviews are right, this is a great value for the frugal travelers. I’d only recommend repainting some of the exterior if possible. Would stay here again!

We arr always looking for a hotel that isn't to expensive to stay at that splits up our trips. This place was nice because they had comfortable beds, it was clean, and had a nice working bathroom. Breakfast was nice because they had Jimmy Dean sausage and egg sandwichs along with the typical cereal, yogurt, milk, orange juice, and waffles. We appreciated this because we prefer protein options for breakfast and places that have breakfast similiar to this motel usually don't have a protein option.

I highly recommend making the bed with blankets that do not have burn holes in them. An upgrade on bedding would be nice and 2 more pillows would make it much more comfortable. The manager was super nice and the shower was great.

Booked room with the understanding they accepted esa animals as it states, and was charged fees that weren’t specifically for animals. It was an “additional family fee”. No other motels/hotels I was charged this fee especially with supporting esa documents. Also when leaving the motel early in the morning there was a homeless person climbing out of the window right next to the room I was staying at. Did not feel safe here at all, needs better security. Do not recommend

I enjoy the Thunderbird. I just need a place to crash when I have business in Elko. It's very inexpensive and that's what I like.

We stay here usually a couple times a year as it is a half way point on our drive to visit kids. Great place to stay away from the bustle. Clean, refinished rooms. The price is right.

We’ve stayed at the Thunderbird many times before when visiting Elko, NV and we’ve always had a pleasant stay. This time, Room 204 was disappointing. The bed spread was really stained; the bathroom sink light was failing; an electrical outlet was missing it’s cover plate; and the room had no smoke detector. I addressed these issues with the owner/manager and he assured me they’d be corrected. He’s a good man who runs a good operation, so I believe they’ll be repaired. Thunderbird is still a tremendous bargain and a very nice independent motel that is worthy of your business. We’ll be coming back.

Worst stay on our road trip so far on day 13. After we showered we noticed bugs probably roaches in the bathroom. We finished our night there and left pretty early. I would not recommend this hotel.

Nice room, fan never stopped and was very noisy. There were live ants in the bathroom.
3.0
The lady at the counter was very nice. The bed was very comfortable.
We had room 203. There was only one coffee packet for two people but that didn't matter because the coffee maker didn't brew coffee. The shower products are in pumps and they were all empty so we weren't able to wash our hair or bodies. The shower drain is clogged so you stand in dirty water. The cleaning person needs to be talked to because all of this should have been caught while that person was cleaning. We left before the office was open so we could not inform the front desk. Sorry, but not going to stay here next visit to Elko.
2.0
Big, clean room in walking distance of lots of restaurants, and close to the highway. Cool artwork on the outside of the building. Well-lit, safe-feeling parking. Friendly check in staff. Nice cold filtered water available in the lobby. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensed in the shower from push-button units. Unfortunately my conditioner nozzle was blocked and it was too early in the morning to report it to the front desk.

Very nice room for an overnight stay. Will stay here again.

The hotel has friendly staff at the desk that let us check in way before check in time! Our room has a refrigerator and microwave and was set up as expected. We are very happy with our stay!
3.0
The owner/man at the front desk actually smiled, was friendly, and we shared a laugh. I am in a touring band, travel consistently and extensively, and can count on 2 fingers I’ve experienced this. Literally makes all the difference. Plus, the rooms were great. This motel completely deserves its great reviews.

5 stars for a 2 star motel. As far as $75/night 2-star motels go, this one was great. And the location is great. Just across the street from notable night spots and pubs.
I didn’t expect the Hilton and I was pleasantly surprised. A bit of classic Americana.
