So on one of the busiest weeks of the year, I was looking for a replacement six-night stay with two beds in a room, breakfast (ideally) and clean, safe environment. I found it and more at TownePlace Suites, thanks to host Douglas who searched me out a room that would work, hunted down my old Marriott membership number, and reserved the space 'til I could cancel my existing reservation and get myself across town. Though the price point initially set me back on my heels, he won me over with his promise of breakfast, dinners (this week special for Cowboy Poetry Gathering), and a functioning Jacuzzi. (What can I say? It's a long drive out here!) Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by James and another staff member who gave me the rundown. I asked if I could bring my own food down for breakfast "since I have food issues" and James walked me over to the breakfast nook to show off the GLUTEN-FREE and DAIRY-FREE options that are there on the regular, from rolls and muffins to soymilk within arm's reach. In my room, I found a kitchenette complete with clean, cool fridge/freezer, a sink, microwave, dishwasher, dishware and utensils and enough pots and pans to cook on the two burner built-in hotplate/electric stove top. There were two clean, nicely made beds, a clean bathroom, table large enough for four people, and two easy chairs, and more. SOLD! Yes, pricier than others. Yes, in Elko you get what you pay for.

I would've thought that it would be a little warmer, but it still was tolerable. Good service. Friendly people. A really nice breakfast included. Some of the pictures showed a nice chair in the room, however, when we got in the room, it was a fairly uncomfortable office chair. No way to really stay comfortable in the room, so we stayed downstairs in the cafeteria area. That was comfortable with quite a few couches and easy chairs. For the $250 - $300 a night price (paid for by the company ) it would be nice to have a comfortable chair or two in the room. That being said, it was clean and comfortable, and the people are nice so. There were pool towels at the pool that had a blue stripes so they could tell them apart from the regular bath towels. On a sidenote, the power went out in the evening, and the room keys were not open the door for the pool. The desk clerk said this was normal and they continually had to let people into the pool. We will definitely stay here again if it's paid for... But hefty price would keep me from coming here on my own

We recently stayed in Valencia (CA), and it was fabulous. We are now Platinum Elite Members (sounds so fancy-pants) which means my three nights here are on points and racked up some more even tonight, plus got to spin the Wheel of Fortune at the Front Desk. Can we take a moment to camp on my Front Desk experience? ARIEL (like the Little Mermaid) was FABULOUS (and deserves a big, fat raise -- are ya listening, bosses???) and went over and above to make me feel welcome.

ADDENDUM: This visit went far and away above and beyond anything I might have expected (which is always simple kindness in return to kindness I extend). All staff were amazing: Meg at the Front Desk who is professional yet kind, and didn't just accommodate my ADA requirements at present, but rather celebrated me as a human and treated me with dignity and respect; Isabel at the Front Desk; Isobel in housekeeping; Just-Mike (I think, as I cannot find my notes!) who "just does the laundry," and let us take a moment to reflect on a hotel without sparkling clean sheets or towels!); Bethany in both housekeeping and kitchen prep, that sweet girl who prepared my plate for me!; everyone but the Night Man who was asleep when I was struggling to get off the elevator and I believe slept through my desperate ringing of the bell (no sign on desk he was away), suddenly appearing and claiming he had been "in the bathroom." For 20 min, man? Do not lie to the gramma person! Just gonna throw in here that Elko is pretty amazing and everyone from GET My Ride drivers to restaurant owners to servers and everyone in between has that "small town" shine and no big city BS. Don't believe YELP reviews left by folks who *never even stayed at this property* and make crazy claims about electricity surcharges and other bogus charges. I actually stayed on points -- no cash or CC needed -- and they treated me like royalty. Stay here when in Elko, and for the love of Pete, don't forget to stay at Holiday Inn Express and Suites all over America. These guys will most definitely "leave the light on for you."

I love their pancake machine and that they have high-end yogurt. This location also had one more hot dish items compared to other holiday Inn express.

If you're interested, they offered free dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday for guests who are staying longer stays. We never took advantage of it. The hotel itself is starting to get old. It was annoying that the smoke detectors were right above where you sleep so the light that flashes every 30 seconds kept waking me up. Typically that's by the entrance or somewhere so it's not distracting at night. It was a little frustrating when I booked my stay months ago that the price quoted was slightly different than what I actually paid.

A classic restaurant in the heart of Elko with roots going back longer than anyone can remember, they have perfected both family style dining, as well as the perfect steak. At a glance the price seems a little higher than you would expect from some place like Texas Roadhouse, until you realize that the entrees come with literally 7 courses. In the photo below, I had the "petite" ribeye which was huge, juicy and perfect cooked, and came with 5 sides. Not included in the multiple sides were the two previous servings of excellent cabbage soup and Basque salad. When dining at the Star, you'll never have to choose between quantity and quality - every entree comes packed with both. Great service, a nice location in the historic Elko downtown, and the infamous Picon Punch all make this a very worthwhile stop.

We didn't really eat the beans, but homemade bread was fire. But our waitress Jenny was pretty nonexistent. We actually went to the bar and ordered some drinks because we didn't even know if we were going to have a waitress. Finally, when she came to the table, I told her that I pre-ordered some drinks from the bar. She walked away. About 10 minutes later, the bartender brought the cocktails. Jenny came back and asked us what we were ordering. I told her and then she walked away and we really didn't see her again until the Bill. The food and drinks were brought from a variety of people. When we needed some other stuff, I flagged down the waitress for the tables behind us and she happily got us what we needed (water, more fries, etc) I went to the bar and got another cocktail as we would've never gotten another one since we never saw Jenny. The bartender and the other server were quite friendly and helpful . We will happily come back here as the food was just perfect! And it was very nice to eat family style again since it's been quite a few years since I've been to Wool Growers. On a sidenote: Reno used to have a pretty decent Basque restaurant called Santa Fe.

Had to update it to the modern version. I've been a long time frequenter of this place throughout the years..

NOT anymore! You can read my reviews of "Red Lion" if it's still available, and surely you're reading this updated review for Maverick. WHAT a turn around. First off, I was offered a comp weekend because of my experience a few years back. That particular GM wasn't there, but I called to see if they were still honor a comp room for a night, and despite there being a couple years in between my last visit, they still honored that promise. That spoke volumes. My room, was perfect, exactly what I'm used to with this place. Didn't eat at Aspen this time, just some gambling and cocktails. We started off in the back bar, and I can't remember the nice lady's name, but she was on point. WE gambled and drank a bit, then went and gambled a little bit more, and actually won all of our money back, so we decided to sit in the front bar and just pay for drinks so I didn't give the house back the money hahaha Char (pronounced like 'Cher', not Char-Broil hahaha) was our bartender in the front bar. She actually helped us on the floor also before we sat to drink. It was the day after christmas, and their staff was run wire thin, they were covering the floor and bartending, busting their butts. I've never had an issue with service here, ever. It was cold outside, even snowed overnight. Not a single issue with the AC, despite others complaints. Thank you guys again, for honoring your promise from years past.

As a local who's getting ready to move to a new state, I decided to stay my last few nights in town…read moreat Maverick Hotel because we had discounted room rates for being locals who gamble at the casino regularly. However, if we didn't have discounted rooms, I'm not sure I would've stayed here. The biggest reason is because they don't have a continental breakfast. I understand that with a coffee shop and a diner in the building they feel like they don't need to maybe? Yet I've stayed at other hotel casinos before and usually if you stay at the hotel they give you a ticket for free breakfast at the casino diners. Maverick does not do that... so be prepared to pay for breakfast in the morning. The other disappointing thing is the outdoor pool. I will forever be partial to hotels that have indoor pools that are open year round. Give me a hot tub, please. Otherwise the rooms are super nice and clean. The showers are hot. The WiFi is free. And our room at least had a working AC and heater unit. I also think it's kind of cool that the rooms have a little balcony that actually opens. The rooms also have a mini fridge and a microwave and a Kcup coffee machine, which are all very nice to have. At the end of the day, we took these rooms because they were so cheap... but the no breakfast really is the biggest bummer.

Kelsey took our call with a professional, caring approach and said they would look for it. An hour later, she called back to say unfortunately they had not found it. The surprise came when Kelsey called us back two hours after that to say that she had in fact found this little trinket that most people would find insignificant. She went the extra effort and got this returned to us. Sometimes it's the little things that really make a big difference. I will certainly be staying at this hotel anytime I'm in the area!

Disappointing Stay - Feels More Like a Neglected Storage Lot Than an RV Resort…read more Most casinos that offer an associated RV park usually deliver well-maintained properties with decent facilities. Unfortunately, Gold Country RV Park was the exact opposite, making it the least desirable stop on our entire trip--and a very disappointing way to end it. Here is a breakdown of our experience: * Site Conditions & Park Maintenance: The entire RV section feels like a neglected, weed-infested parking lot that hasn't seen a cleanup since last autumn's leaves fell. One whole side of the park is taken up by equipment storage, and several sites appear completely derelict. While about half of the long-term residents keep their areas neat, the other half are allowed to turn their sites into literal pigsties with zero enforcement from management. Additionally, none of the sites feature picnic tables. * Check-In & Site Assignment Issues: When we first arrived, the site assigned to us had its water supply actively being used by a neighboring permanent resident. We had to request a move, and while the second site assigned to us was situated between cleaner long-term rigs, the initial oversight was frustrating. * Restrooms & Showers: I checked out the men's restroom and shower facilities and was immediately met with a foul sewer odor. It was bad enough that I turned right around and never went back. * Pet Facilities & Grounds: The designated dog-walking area requires going through a gate onto a dirt road behind the property. The grassy area people are actually using next to the motel is heavily littered with dog waste--largely because the poop bag dispenser appears not to have been replenished in a very long time. Unless management steps up to enforce basic site cleanliness, clean the facilities, and maintain the grounds, I cannot recommend staying here.
