TV, mini fridge (gets very cold), microwave and dresser.

You've seen the pictures of the outside in other posts. Actually a great place. We don't usually stay at motel's because the doors/windows face outward and tend to be noisy with car and lights flooding the room but this is the exception to the rule. Room was nice with a comfy bed (as stated in previous reviews). Fridge was awesome!!! I always put it on the coldest and rarely (as it did here) does it freeze my water on the top shelf. Breakfast was carb heavy but there's a casino with a restraunt a block away if you want an actual breakfast. Very quiet and no headlights in the windows. Staff was great and there's a great variety of restaurants within 2 miles of the motel. It was $130.00 a night on Priceline which I thought was a little spendy for a motel but everything is spendy right now. Bidenomics!! Overall, for a Motel, I would highly recommend this place and will probably stay here again on our way back through.

Yeah I am.

Everything about the Big Chief Motel works. The hotel is well maintained, the staff are wonderful and the breakfast is fresh and delicious. We had a wonderful stay in their comfortable beds and enjoyed breakfast in their two person swing chair. If you are passing through Battle Mountain and looking for a great night's stay then look no further than the Chief.

The looks from the outside definitely do not do this place justice. From the outside it appears to be a hotel where ladies of the night and the stereotypical trucker utilizes. However, we arrived around 1a promptly got our first floor room. The parking lot was pretty packed but we found parking right outside our room door. We entered the room not knowing what to expect and to our surprise it was very clean, organized and neatly assembled. Tb worked with clear picture and premium channels, hardwood (might not be real wood) floors, tiled vanity area and bathroom, only negative was trying to figure out how to get hot water in shower (hint: just keep turning the knob and checking the temp). Room had a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot with coffee, a small dining table, heat/ac unit, and a desk area. The bed itself was comfy, clean, and desired after a long drive. Rooms are well lit, and pretty spacious. On our return trip to our home state we stayed here again- and had the opportunity to stay in the second floor rooms. We noticed that the lower level floors appear to be smoking rooms whereas the rooms on the second floor are non-smoking as they have a non-smoking sign on the door (just an FYI). However both rooms we occupied (lower and upper room) did not smell of smokers remorse. So win win. The top floor room had more plush bedding (throw pillows, two sets of standard size pillows). Also the upper room was carpeted verses the hard wood floors on the lower level. Nonetheless the rooms seem to have all the same amenities (microwave, mini fridge, ironing board, iron, cable tv, heater, coffee pot, etc).

Awful experience. The parking lot wasn't maintained at all after the snow, this should have been our warning to leave. We have a sedan and didn't feel comfortable driving it over the icy snowbank to park near our room (this snow bank was blocking the majority of the parking spots). Therefore, we had to walk across ice to get to our room. Almost all road not covered in snow had a thick layer of ice. Management: Not acceptable, you need to ensure the safety of your guests. My wife was being careful and she wore boots with a traction sole and she STILL SLIPPED ON YOUR PROPERTY! Her whole back and neck is hurting and you better hope it heals soon or you will be hearing from us. Flushing the toilet led to the toilet overflowing and flooding the bathroom and into the bedroom area so we had to change rooms. We were told that the manager had to come inspect the toilet first but then she never showed up. Thankfully we got to change rooms and thought we would be good to go.... not the case. Our room had a huge draft coming from under the door from outside. We woke up in the morning getting choked out by diesel since a truck was idling outside our door for a long time. The huge gap under the door along with the heater pulled in the diesel, our whole room was awful for a long time after that and we had to turn off the heater. Very very unpleased with management.

Enjoying a waffle breakfast!

Nice, clean hotel. Great, restful stop on our long trip home. Basic breakfast was enough to get us quickly on the road next morning.

It's one of maybe 4 hotels in all of Battle Mountain, NV. Freeway is right next door but since it…read moreis rural Nevada, you will most likely not hear it. This is notably the most expensive motel I have ever stayed at. THE STAFF ARE THE BEST! The people of this town are just absolutely awesome. They are friendly and patient. I was always greeted with a smile each time I bumped into any of the staff here. Ally and Erin were most notably impactful during my stay. Thank you for the smiles and great conversations. Continental breakfast was simple: biscuits and gravy, 3 cereal options, breads like toast and bagels with jam spread or cream cheese available. Microwavable sandwiches available. Intant Quakers oatmeal also available. Hot coffee served all day. The coffee machine has a hot water option. Plenty of tea options to choose from. VERY UNIQUE: Breakfast starts at 4am! Gym and Pool closed the entire duration. The gym looked completely demolished. There is a community recreational center down the street with daily use rates under $15! Washer and Dryer work decently and quickly. I would recommend to bring your own detergent. Coins available at the front. ROOMS: NO ELEVATORS. Stairs only so note that if you have a lot of crap like I did. Hopefully they upgrade to hardwood floors in halls and rooms. That carpet is an eye sore and inconvenience since mud is trekked in day and night from the construction workers. King Suite - clean, comfortable and spacious. Mini fridge + Microwave with counter space and mini kitchen sink across from bathroom sink. No complaints. Was right above the lobby so it could get loud with the TV on downstairs or random conversations through the night or early morning breakfast preparation. It is what it is. Double Queen Kitchenette - clean and spacious. Carpets are hideous. Rooms are pretty dimmed even with lamps on. Kitchen area itself is well lit. Stovetop, Microwave, all plugs work great. Utensils included with can openers, knives, etc. Kitchen pots and pans need an upgrade. These items looked like they have gone through hell and back but are still functional. Missing pot handles and lids but it does the job. Oddly there is a slow cooker which is pretty unique to see. Random kitchen ware in the cupboards left behind. Don't forget to buy dish soap from either two grocery stores across the street. Can't complain about much for a roof over my head and free coffee all day long. Can't forget the free baked cookies everyday!!

I stayed here for an antelope hunt. Battle Mountain was the closest location to where I would be…read morehunting. The hotel was freshly remodeled and extremely clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. That cold AC and a shower is great after you've been out in the dust and hot sun all day. The hotel was only $10-20 more than the next comparable location and I felt the extra dollars were worth it. The pool is pretty small, but good for kids or just if you want to soak for a bit. The complimentary breakfast was about average, but I enjoyed it. My only complaint is I booked through Expedia and I harvested on my first day of the hunt, so I had to pay for a day I didn't use.
