My car broke down in Beatty, and I urgently needed a place to stay. Thankfully, I was able to limp my car from the ARCO station to the Atomic Inn, which is the closest motel. It was still early and the office wasn't open yet, but when I called, Brandon answered right away. He happened to be on site, dropped what he was doing, and came straight to the office to check me in. I was so grateful for his quick response and kindness during a stressful situation. read more

I will give it three stars, because it was overall clean and we got our money back. I booked this place based on the reviews. It was just under $100 for the night. The gentleman who checked me in, was very friendly. The hotel looked great from the froont. The rooms are in several buildings in a row back from the front. Our room was in the second row, and there was a dirt path to our room. We go inside the room, and the first thing we noticed was while the room was clean, it was like somebody had sprayed an entire can of Febreze into the room. It was strong. We tried to open the window to air it out, but the window wasn't working properly. It was also cracked. One of the lights next to the bed wasn't working so I had gotten a replacement bulb from the lobby. It looked a little strange, but we put it into the lamp, only to discover that it i was a black light. Huh? What kind of places is this? We couldn't stay. Both of us were getting a headache from the Febreze smell, and it was causing my traveling partners allergies to kick in. We left the room, I went to the lobby, explained it to the gentleman, and he did process a refund immediately. The Febreze smell was so strong, it even stayed on our clothes for a bit. Like I said, it looks nice on the outside, but looks can be deceiving. read more

I booked this place on booking.com and communicated that I would be running late because i live in LA and cant leave work till 4pm aka traffic hour so I got there past midnight the key was not where they said it would be. No one answered my calls or the front door bell which I'm sure is connected to the front officeand their unit. Not sure if they didn't like the fact that it was a 1bed room with 2 guys staying. They might not like gay people from the city or something. I was able to stay at the motel 6 down the street after trying to get them to answer for an hour at the alien Inn. Don't waste ur time here. Probably don't like gay people or people from LA or something dumb like that. They immediately refunded me which means they were aware of what was going on and didn't let us stay there on purpose. read more

Great place to stay at if you need to go visit Death Valley. It's only about 20min away from the sand dunes and really cheap rates to just get a good bed and sleep for the night. There is no bfast option, the rooms are pretty comfy but it can get cold (went in the winter time) so they have a small space heater. The people at the check in counter were really nice and brought us extra blanket and pillows when asked for. If I would come back to Death Valley again (for the stargazing opportunity) I would stay here again no doubt. read more

Dated but clean. I've used this hotel 10+ times moving from Calif to Az as the 1/2 way point. Seems like it's under new management? I called to confirm my registration and the call kept dropping. I called and all I heard from a man was" if they call again, tell them to fuck off! Fuck them! " I called again and asked who he was talking to and why he was so nasty, he ignored my question, didn't even apologize and said he tried to charge my card four times and it didn't go through,so he couldn't confirm the reservation. I gave him my debit card and then he confirmed the reservation. The past management was NEVER like this. What a total jerk! He shouldn't be working with the public. Must be new owners with help less than qualified to work with the public. read more

If you find yourself near Death Valley and don't really care for California, do yourself a favor and stay here. This place is eccentric, but clean! Our room was clean in all aspects and has been maintained well. I really appreciated the 2 different space heaters as I underestimated how cold it would be at night. The pillows were all different levels of plush. I didn't like the bed, but I'm not accustomed to sleeping on springs anymore because of my hips. Do not let the bed deter you though because I'm high maintenance with beds. My big hang up in hotels is cleanliness and this is a great example of it. I only interacted with the staff once and she was very friendly and exceptionally grateful for our business. Beatty is a small town, but a hidden gem...with burros and not in California! Go to Death Valley but stay and eat here! read more

The room itself was adequate. If the following issues didn't exist I'd give it four stars. Unit 12, smelled like an ash tray. The room, the pillows, the sheets all smelled like ten guys just smoked a pack each and left. The shower drips constantly. The water, at best, was luke warm. read more

The Atomic Inn is definitely an experience you should not pass up! It's definitely not fancy by any means but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The managment team was very friendly and helpful, and their 4 legged security team was very thourough with thier doggy greatings. We did have an unusual visitor, but we came prepared "just in case" (see photo). We absolutely will stay here again if we ever find ourselves in the Beatty/Death Valley area again! read more

We loved staying at this cute little motel while in Beatty. It was quite unique and a great price for a dog friendly room. The staff was super friendly and gave us a great recommendation for dinner. I loved that we could walk around, and everything was very well-lit. Unfortunately, the bed wasn't super comfortable, but everything was very clean. I had some issues with the noise level on the A/C unit, and it could probably do with an upgrade. We enjoyed the area so much, we will definitely go back! read more

Value priced, clean rooms, easy parking and friendly staff. Have stayed there every time I golf in Death Valley.

Nice motel for a great price! The owner Cindy is very nice and even though we have had our differences still treated me well when I deserved otherwise. The whole place has changed for the better and the new employees definitely are on their responsibilities. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to get ripped off by every other hotel in town read more

We recently had the privilege to stay two nights at The Atomic Inn. We were especially delighted with the excellent customer service provided by Brandon. Upon checking in, Brandon went to our room and exchanged out the heating unit for one that would warm our room quicker. We just loved the retro look and the clean room with the microwave and refrigerator. We wholeheartedly would recommend staying at The Atomic Inn. read more

Based upon my son's stay...I have to give this place a super review...He is having the time of his life dodging the donkeys that come right up to you...the accommodations are nice, clean, and comfortable...and the price is right on target....the staff makes you feel as though they have known you forever..even when I call...they are cool, professional and knowledgable...I referred my nephew there when he visited the town... If (and I know I will) when I visit...that will be my stay-over place... Check it out...you will love it...! read more

We stayed at the Atomic Inn 12/4-12/5 2023... We had a a cute room with an electric fireplace that put out great heat.. the room was super clean and they were putting up beautiful Christmas decorations.. We will be back again.. thank you again to the staff and owner . read more

I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this gem while looking for somewhere to stay on my boy to the Grand Canyon. Booking was simple and quick. When I arrived I was greeted by a smiling face and given recommendations on places to eat on my drive. Upon checking out I was offered tea coffee and oatmeal and told her to drive safe on my way. My entire experience with the atomic and has been wonderful wonderful customer service and perfectly clean rooms. The Decour is very art deco and retro with cute subtle atomic symbols hidden in the rooms. read more

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. When I checked in I spoke to a man named Brandon. I asked him if the AC worked in the rooms. (Due to it being 111 out that day) they do not. First of all each room has a small window rattler style ac that is probably 20+ years old. The AC didn't do anything to cool down the room. (The AC was not on when I walked in the room) The door to the room had a 2 inch gap under it. Due to this there were bugs in the room. I killed multiple bugs and spiders. Also, my son stepped on multiple exposed carpet tacks. Comforters were disgusting, sheets were disgusting. My family and I sat in the room for maybe an hour and called around other motels in the area. For $10 more I got a room at motel 6. Upon doing this I went to the front desk to talk to Brandon, he wasn't there. I had to call him and wait for him to come back to the lobby. I told him that my family was not happy with the room and I requested a refund. He asked me if the room was disturbed, I said no. I mean we sat on the beds, used 1 hand towel and that was it. He then told me he voided the charge. Now when I checked my bank account today it shows they charged me. I called Brandon and asked him what happened. He told me that the room was disturbed, the AC was turned off and we stayed there longer for a half an hour so they went ahead and charged me. Look man... keep the $91 obviously yall need the money a lot more than I do. Maybe Brandon can use that to go see a dentist. I guarantee that I'm not the only person who they do this to. Seeing how my truck was the only truck in the parking lot that says a lot. read more

Reserved room and when we checked in the room had started to be cleaned but beds not made, towels not present. Went to office and they said they would complete cleaning since no equivalent rooms available. We went to dinner and when we returned the room was ready but the staff had lost the only key to room. They got a repair person to install new locks that took about additional 35 minutes. This only added to our joy when we had been contacted prior to our arrival stating the credit card would not go through. When we arrived to check in they tried again and said the results were the same. So we provided a different card. Next day we logged into our bank to find out that two charges to the first card had been made and one credit issued. The second card we had given was also processed resulting in a double charge - one on original and one on the second card. Again we went to the office with the bank websites showing the double charge. The owner was now rude indicating that we were getting a "free room" and that Karma for this would come back to "get us". We did get one full charge for the room and would not recommend this motel even as a last resort. Poor service, delayed service and rudeness are not the qualities one should have to pay for. read more

I vacillated between one and three stars. In the end, as my cousin pointed out, we paid a grand total of $116 for three nights, and shouldn't complain. Ok, no *complaining*, but here are some notes which I hope future visitors (and also, motel management) will find useful: - Despite the 3 big signs proclaiming "Phoenix Inn", this place is officially the Atomic Inn. Well, I guess it's technically both; they are saving up the $60,000 to replace the signs, but have put the new logo on everything from the lampshades to the room doors. - However, perhaps those funds could have been better spent elsewhere, like on fitted bedsheets? Or, if you must go with flat sheets, iron out those pesky house-keeping problems so rooms are actually cleaned. - I stayed for 3 nights right after Thanksgiving (Friday-Monday); the motel was solidly booked, and they had a major labor crisis. Two house-keepers quit, and their replacements weren't really up to speed. So our room wasn't cleaned once during that whole time; the last night, I picked up fresh towels and took out the trash myself. - Jerry, the manager, was pretty contrite. I like the guy; he has way more tattoos than your typical motel employee, but seems genuinely invested in improving the motel (I think a number of rooms are being remodeled, some even with flat-screen TVs). I understand that hey, sometimes everything that can go wrong *does* go wrong. But, as I told him, a heads-up can go a long way towards placating your customer. - Honestly, the other employees (besides the disgruntled housekeeping staff) seem way less competent than Jerry; they're cheerful but careless. I asked on Saturday morning if the lone bathroom towel hook could be fixed; when I checked Saturday night, the desk staff played the "no one told me" game. The maintenance guy then told me he would take care of it Sunday. Sunday night, my cousin and I bet on the chances that the hook would be fixed and the trashcan would be empty; neither of us liked the odds, and we were right. - Look, I understand that for less than $40/night (thanks to stay-2-get-1-free), I should just be grateful that I got such a good deal for a relatively comfortable place to stay while exploring Death Valley. But for some reason -- maybe because the motel staff are all young and atypical employee demographic -- also, because the Atomic Inn logo calls out to my inner nerd -- I want them to do well. I want them to be that charming, local, funky place that woos travelers away from the generic Motel 6. So my overall advice is to follow through on your promises, and communicate in advance if you can't. Don't say you serve breakfast, and then run out by 7:15 AM, or tell me that no one brought anything that day at all. Don't tell me my room has a flat screen if it doesn't. Seriously, I don't have a problem getting my own breakfast elsewhere, and I sure didn't come to Beatty to watch TV. It's just that I don't like getting wrong information. Okay, now that I've gotten all that out of my system, let's reinforce the good points. You will get a clean and comfortable room -- the beds are actually really comfortable -- and it will be very easy on your wallet. True, you will be about 30 miles from the heart of Death Valley National Park, but you will pay only one-third (or maybe one-half) the cost of getting a room in Furnace Creek Ranch or Stovepipe Wells. So ... while I probably will not return to the Atomic Inn, I would urge you, oh faceless Internet researcher, not to discard the Atomic Inn out of hand altogether. Give them a chance. And then go explore the wonders of Death Valley. read more

The Atomic Inn is a clean, affordable location off the highway in a quiet neighborhood, but still close enough to walk to local restaurants.

Wow - far better than expected. I'm a fan! There is two maybe three important factors to the stars in this review. 1. DIRT CHEAP. 2. this is in a town where the casino's featured restaurant is a Dennys. 3. The rooms in the front is fairly good and really not as bad as expected. Oh and when I first looked on yelp, the BEST hotel in town proudly featured 2.5 stars. So there you have it.. 5 stars to the Atomic inn. I enjoyed my stay, and it was far better than feared, whats not to like.. (ah the WiFi feels like its connected to a dial-up line) While in town make sure to walk down (or up) the street and have a burger at the Sourdough Saloon. read more

While doing another southwest road trip, we stopped here again for one night, after cruising through Death Valley. This place NEVER disappoints. For the inexperienced traveler, you need to realize that you're in the middle of nowhere, Nevada. Surely you can sacrifice one night without Judge Judy on a flat screen tv, or a wifi connection for your facebook updates. These are the only decent and well priced accomodations just outside of Death Valley, lest you drive another 45 minutes to Pahrump, or another 90 minutes to Vegas but why in the world would you do that, when you can spend a night in the middle of the high desert, in a town with a population of about a 1000 and wild burros roaming the land? Wake up early the next morning and go for a little hike, past the cottonwoods, to the top of the red rock, located behind the inn. Great views of Beatty from up there and a nice morning breeze to boot. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and some decent vittles within 50 steps of this joint. Unfortunately, the cute little coffee shop on the corner didn't survive this past winter. Too bad. We were looking forward to a strong cup of joe. At least the Rebel gas station provided double barrel coffee, to jump start our day. Good times in the high desert. read more

**** Cindy and her team (Jen, Enrique, Jake, and Don) at The Atomic Inn are a great bunch. They work hard and go the extra mile for their guests. My stay was quiet, affordable, and unique. In addition to their rooms, there is a great outdoor space for campers, etc. I traveled there to see Death Valley then Cindy shared with me her affection for the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Preserve and it was beautiful. Cindy and Jen have inside knowledge of the area and want to contribute to your adventure. Give them a call and get to know them **** Please take a few minutes to go into the lobby and admire Cindy's collection of Ceramic Houses (see picture) She started collecting them in 1982 as a night light for her son Andrew and it grew from there. The tree frame is on Pinterest and most of the ceramics are available from LeMax French Ceramics. read more

Um. No. Just No. Web pics do not portray the reality of this property. This place is NOT retro chic. Our $72 per night (going rate here everywhere) room has peeling paint, dirty fingerprints, peeling linoleum, two little towels, no Kleenex, 50 year old bedspreads and threadbare sheets. No outdoor seating area and claustrophobic nightmare rooms with dirty furniture. My Canadian friend picked this place in good faith. Do NOT trust only one source for reviews (here's looking at you Booking.com). There are 350!rooms in this town. I've stayed The Exchange Hotel and it was fine. read more

My boyfriend and I have been on the road for about a month now and of the three motels we've stopped in, this one was by far my favorite! The lady at the front desk was so darn kind and friendly and the overall atmosphere of the place was pretty cool to say the least. We just stayed the night for a hot shower and somewhere to sleep until we could find another camp site but this place was way better than we expected. read more

I thought it would be fun to stay at this retro motel; however even though the decor was creative, this property definitely needs some TLC. I should have know something was amiss when the front desk clerk's toddlers were allowed to run around the lobby.. I assume this is standard operating procedure, as they seemed quite comfortable there. The clerk was friendly but their computer equipment definitely needs an upgrade as the whole check-in procedure seemed to take an inordinate amount of time. When I arrived at my room the first thing I noticed was that it was hotter inside than outside, even with the air conditioner going full blast. It was either broken or not large enough to cool the room. Eventually I decided to just open the window, but that was difficult as the latch was broken. And of course there was no screen. I decided to just roll the dice and leave the window open, as it seemed to cool down the room. The fan in the bathroom was also broken, and unfortunately the property didn't have an ice machine. Even though the beds were not luxury models they did not kill our backs; but if you don't like a firm mattress they definitely are not for you. Oh and of course the internet did not work. Next time I pass though Beatty I think I'll opt for one of the chain motels. Cute, but not for me! read more

I rarely leave a bad review, as I research hotels/motels before booking. This will be a rare bad review from me. The Atomic Inn, seems like a nice place to stay - and it should be. But, unfortunately, it isn't. I spent 5 nights there, and, if I hadn't pre-paid, would have left for the Motel 6. They lack the smallest amenities - like WiFi, TV, bath soap, shampoo, tissues, etc. I knew that it wasn't a lush resort - or even a high-end motel, but, the reviews were decent, and it was in a good location for visiting Death Valley NP. I chose not to stay in the park, because Internet service in the park isn't very good, even in the park lodgings, and my business requires me to rely heavily on the Internet. This was a mistake. The WiFi never worked. I asked about it on the first day, but the person in the office didn't know what to do. I asked about it on the 2nd day, and was told that it should be working. Same thing on the 3rd day. I was led to believe that the manager and staff had no way to correct it, and the owner (in Reno, NV) didn't care to fix it. It never worked for the 5-nights I was there. The TV (DirectTV) worked for the first 2 days, but not after that. I was told the "satellite had been damaged". They don't clean your room unless you request it to be cleaned. Nobody told us that upon check-in. We eventually got our room cleaned, but the word "clean" must have a different meaning in Beatty. The rug remained filthy during the entire stay. Although I saw a vacuum cleaner on a housekeeping cart, it appeared they never used it on the rug in my room. It was littered with debris from the time we checked in. The windows were filthy as well (see attached picture). The bed and bathroom, however, were reasonably clean. Out of 4 days they could have provided housekeeping (replaced towels, cleaned, etc.), they only did it 2 days. The problem with this property is the staff and/or management. There is a distinct lack of caring. This may come from the absentee owner or the local management - I'm not sure - but this is reason enough to avoid this property. When I checked on the 4th day about the Internet and TV, I was told that I "could have checked out after the first day". When I checked out, the clerk was apologetic about the problems with the room and assured me that when the manager came in later that morning, I would be credited with one-night's stay. Not surprisingly, that never happened. read more

Atomic Inn is full of personality, exactly what one would expect in the dessert. It was clean and charming in an Area 51 kind of way. This establishment is a series of mobile homes strung together to form rooms(clever). The grounds were clean, picnic tables around on the ground outside, well lit at night, and QUIET. It sits off a side street of town. Our accommodations were a deluxe king room. The metal steps up to the rooms could be an issue for some, but I think the front rooms on the street would work for those for whom that may be an issue. Deluxe rooms are upgraded and come with a VERY small flat screen TV. Nice size room with table , two chairs, micro, and fridge. Two drawbacks here for us which gets it's a four star rating......for us, the bed was extremely hard and therefore uncomfortable for us. Also, it was cold when we arrived and because we did not have a reservation, our room took a couple hours to warm up. They heat the room with portable heaters. Also wifi is slow if that's a big deal for you. It was mainly the bed that got this review four stars , I can deal with cold and slow wifi but need a comfy bed. I would definitely stay here again, i just hope they get new beds first. For a non chain establishment, it was great and an adventure! read more

This place is average and I would give 3.5 stars. The 5 star glowing reviews seem exaggerated and the 1 star reviews seem a bit harsh. I mean, the town as a whole seems a bit forgotten. I know they're packed bc of the holidays and we were super lucky to find 2 rooms available (this was our third hotel we tried!) but the town on a whole was disappointing. We went to eat at the BBQ joint and they had a sign blaming Covid for running out of food. I mean, we're in our 3rd year of Covid...is that even still an excuse? Anyway, we decided to go the diner across the street (95 something?!) but their menu had burgers or pizza only (no sides, no nothing) and they were sold out of pizza. So we said let's try dennys. Got there and my kids were pretty traumatized by the stench of smoke, but it didn't matter bc we weren't staying-- the line was at least 10-15 people long of people waiting bc apparently there was only one server on duty! So we walked out and I told my crew that the ladies told me upon checkin that the VFW was really good food. So I called there and they had two tables available. We rushed over there only to find out it's a bar and no kids allowed we decided to just order food to go. We waited about 30 mins and got our food. It was bar food but it was decent and they got our huge order correct so that was cool. Ok... so back to the hotel. The bower is decent (we got little soaps, shampoo and conditioner) but if you don't have the curtain just right, you'll soak the floor. The towels are terrible! My husband and I joked that they're waterproof lol They are not absorbent at all and we ended up getting our own towels out of our camping gear. But hey, we were all clean so no real complaints. So I'm writing this review bc I've been up for an hour bc I can hardly sleep bc this mattress is so uncomfortable. It feels like a box spring! I'm also cold, but there is a wall heater and it does work, but I don't wanna dry out my family's throats. Newer bedding would be nice, but I don't fault this place for not updating...I don't imagine they get the kind of traffic here to warrant the expenditure. Look, this place isn't fancy or super super clean, but the staff (I've encountered) is friendly and nice, the room is presentable, and if we didn't have two kids crammed into this king size bed with us, the stiff bed prob wouldn't be an issue. So for the $80ish bucks, it's worth it for the night. read more

A-OK sounds about right. The decor is cool, amenities are pretty bare bone. Rooms are dated, but clean. Provided: 2 mini bars of soap, towels, electric heater on the floor. AC unit was in the wall, presumably worked. Not provided: hair dryer or shampoo. This place is clearly a family-run affair; the front office doesn't open until 7:30 AM, and there's an additional $10 charge to check in after 10 PM. I'd give four stars if the office opened at ~6 AM and I could have had some of the promised coffee or oatmeal before having to head out. Instead, I shelled out another $15 or so for food at Mel's at 6 AM (which was admittedly great), but also took an extra half hour or so. It's something I'd factor into the price of this place, and my plans, if I wanted to hit the road before 7:30... read more

A recent fossil-hunting trip took us through Beatty. (We drove through a big thunderstorm that dumped tons of water on a thirsty desert, which was 'way cool. -But I digress.) We chose the Atomic Inn because it received decent reviews on Yelp, it was cheap, and hey, it's the Atomic Inn. Our evening was perfectly fine. The proprietor was friendly and gave us good information (see my review for KC's Cookhouse). The room was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed it to have. Bathroom was fine and there was a tub and a good shower. There's a TV, but it's tiny. Who cares? We wanted to rest and get out of the rain. I was amused that just about every object in the room carried the Atomic Inn logo. It's not fancy. It's a bit kitschy. It's a bit campy. It's clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's cheap. I would stay at the Atomic Inn again without hesitation. read more

-5 Stars. The Atomic Inn is legitimately the worst motel I've ever stayed at. That is saying a lot considering I got about a 25 dollar discount and used to be a trucker but honestly I would have preferred to pay triple the price and stay almost anywhere else. Motel 6? Yes please! What good is a inn that you can't sleep in? The place was clean enough I suppose, there was some obvious wear due to age such as broken ceiling tiles, scratched up furniture, and the like but not anything that was a big deal to me. There was a spider in our bath tub when we arrived but since I'm not at all afraid of them and it wasn't poisonous that also wasn't a big deal to me. The decor in our room was non-existent. There was no alarm clock, no phone, and a tiny tube TV from the 80's with local channels. They did however have the slowest free wifi in america which was a nice thought and totally usable if you didn't have cell reception there.. you know after you decoded which of the 6-8 passwords you were going to have to use. They provided 2 cheap bar soaps and some clean towels, no shampoo, conditioner, nothing else just 2 cheap bar soaps. The sheets were clean and it was a place to crash... so I thought. They has literally the worst pillows I've ever encountered. I mean I know the hotel is supposed to be retro and everything but the only thing retro about our room was the fact that they hadn't updated the bed or pillows in probably 20 years. So we went and got a couple of kids stuffed animals out of the car and tried again to sleep on those. Unfortunately the lumpy mattress wasn't having it. I also wish the housekeeping staff would discover the magic of fabric softner, although the sheets were clean they were crunchy and itchy. We just couldn't do it! This hotel ruined our whole trip to Beatty. Delirious with sleep deprivation we decided to cancel the rest of our Beatty visit and drove the 2 hours back home to sleep in our own beds. We couldn't even complain as they have no night staff... it was so bad it was just funny. We left and we won't return to this hotel. read more

I seriously doubt hownlegate and the other helpers are that gave this place more than 2 stars. They get a star because their staff was nice but that is what u should expect as a minimum. The room had broken drawers, smelled like creamy body odor, had boogers and insects in the bathroom on the peeling floor, a shower head that was clogged, one sheet, one cover, horrible pillows, only 2 little bars of soap, a little tv that had basic channels only, and the whole room looked old. Oh yeah, and lipstick on the shower curtain which may bring good pictures into some heads but it was 6' 2" high, hmmm male? The room had no heater except for a plug in one on the floor that takes about 5 hours to work. I strongly recommend against staying here unless there's a zombie apocalypse. Even then, I would chance a run somewhere else. read more

Ok, first of all people, before you go dissing this place you have to get a reality check: this is BEATTY, NV, population just over 1000. It is a $50/night motel in the middle of the desert in the shadows of Yucca Mountain. I grew up in a little town in the middle of Nebraska and can tell you that although the people there are good people, it is *not* easy to find and keep "good help." You are stuck with teenagers, who although raised by people with good work ethics, are still just *teenagers* (read: larval humans, still learning); or, they are adults who are short-timers. In short, everyone except maybe the manager(s)is always just barely trained; and, who ever really learns to enjoy dealing smoothly with grumpy, tired, snotty city-folk who show up and expect the Hilton for a third the price? That said, the folks who have spruced up the Phoenix have done an admirable job; it's cute! The bedside tables were tres 50s. The bed wasn't like the 2K job at the Doubletree, but for a motel it was better than average. The A/C was persnickety, but we're not stupid and figured it out. The kids working there when we checked in did a VERY nice job dealing with said snotty city folks (more patiently and politely than I would have) and with whatever had happened in room 52 between shifts of the road crew staying there long term. Ok, so we didn't have toilet paper when we got our room, but the kid who got it for us did so as quickly as he could--considering the maintenence guy had to stash the rolls somewhere else since the laundry room had flooded. And, the floor of the bathroom needed sweeping, but like I mentioned, gettting the help up to speed is often a perpetual problem--you have to *learn* to close the door when you clean the bathroom. I'm chalking the toilet bowl ring up to hard water (though my mom was always able to keep ours clean: you just have to scrub hard). The towels were a little "grey", but they'd been bleached to hell. Works for me! All in all, for a $50/night motel in a small town in Nevada, you have to give it four stars, if you have any concept of how hard it is to run a place like this. These people work hard and they're doing a good job. p.s. The same kid who got us the toilet paper showed up at the Sourdough Saloon across the street later on to shoot some pool and get some dinner. He & his buddy tipped the waitress a couple of bucks. See? Good people. read more

Loved our stay here. They were very friendly during check in, the room was nice and clean. Only downside was our DVD player in the room was broken and they didn't have am extra but the TV worked perfectly fine. When we checked out the next morning again they were friendly and had coffee and muffins in the office. There's a family of wild burrows who wonder through town and were outside our room when we were leaving. The guy in the front office brought out some muffins and let us feed them. Overall a great place to stay. But beware of the speed traps!!! First one in Goldfield second as you're pulling into Beatty. Both go from 70mph to 25mph in less than 100 feet... read more

Adorable Retro themed motel! Super simple easy checkin at the front office. Any checkins past 10pm is an extra $10 so be aware. If your looking for a fancy hilton, yeah maybe this isn't the place for you but who wants that on an epic desert road trip anyways? My bf and I really loved the simplicity of the motel and its easy simple room and dope art of atomic bombs above the bed and alien cutouts around the property. And theres a fun bar about a block and a half down with the best locals for advice called the Sourdough Saloon. We had no idea what to expect coming down thru Beatty for the weekend exploring Death Valley but it was a huge success.I would definitely come stay here anytime passing thru Beatty xoxo read more
