I found the food very delicious. Having gone there twice for lunch, I ate a cheeseburger both times because it was very delicious. There is quite a bit of seating with some pretty awesome decorations. I loved the lighting which was big wagon wheels with old lanterns attached to it. Our waiter was this nice young lad, very friendly and very kind. He was helpful on figuring out what to eat A place I would come back to when I am in town again. read more

Great place to stay with restaurant, mini store, casino, and gas on site. Rooms are Big, comfortable, and water pressure is great! I didn't give it 5 starts because a hole above the shower made me uncomfortable. Like what if there's a camera up there. I asked them to cover it with atleast some duct tape. They said they would while I was out hiking all day and they did not. Other than that staff was friendly and easy check in. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was huge & delicious! read more

Very close to Great Basin National Park, and it was a good place to rest after exploring the trails. Very friendly staff, clean room (a bit run down, but still felt clean and safe), and it was quiet at night. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was so convenient and nice to not have to drive anywhere after to find good food after a long day. There is also a gas station right there at the inn and a general store too. Would definitely consider staying here again if we visit this area in the future. read more

Our visit was extremely disappointing. The staff appeared disinterested and borderline rude, with the exception of Laura who was delightful and genuinely concerned about our satisfaction. The facility was in a state of disrepair. Restaurant: The booth benches were patched with duct tape, and the menus did not reflect current pricing. For example, the menu listed soda at $2 but charged $3, and cocktails were priced at $6 but charged $8. Additionally, they ran out of bacon for the bacon cheeseburger. Positive: The burgers were very good. We were told they grind their own meat. Casino: The payout percentage was 65%, with the nickel machine's RTP at 96%. Players were not offered complimentary drinks, and were charged for their drinks. Hubby was charged $3.23 for a soda from the soda fountain. Motel room: Despite a cable being present in the room, there was no TV. Furthermore, there was no coffee maker, hair dryer, shampoo, or conditioner. The room's lighting was very dim. There appeared to be 2 dead or missing light bulbs. The toilet moved when you used it. Positive: The room was clean, and the bed was fairly comfortable. Would I return? Not likely. read more

This review is for the restaurant. We had the quesadilla, chili, and kids chicken finger. The food was pretty good and affordable. The bartender, Joe, was super friendly. It feels very dive-bar'ish but once you get past that, it is great. read more

This review is for EV owners that need to recharge while visiting Great Basin National Park. I rented an RV space at the Border Inn and used Their 50 Amp electrical hookup to charge my Tesla CyberTruck each Evening. (There is a "Greenlots" EV Charging Station at the Border Inn, But I could not get it to work). I used the Tesla Mobile Connector with 50 Amp Plug. I set my Tesla to 40 Amp (80% of 50 Amps), but my Truck recognized 32 Amp / 233 V. With 32 Amp I got 18 miles of range Per hour. So for a six hour charge I got 108 miles of range (6x18  = 108). That was more than enough for my trips around the Park each day. I drove in from the north and charged to 90% at the Tesla Supercharger In Ely, Nevada before I drove to the Border Inn. I'm grateful that the Border Inn allows EV owners to charge at their RV sites. read more

The best part of this accommodation is its proximity to Great Basin National Park. The room is reminiscent of the motels in the 50-60's with small room, lumpy beds and no TV. There is a fridge and microwave but that is it. The restaurant is usually closed during the off season so you eat in the "casino"/bar area which is sort of a dive bar. The food is standard fare with generous portions. It's well prepared and tasty. The bartender/waiter/check-in clerk/store cashier was friendly and helpful. The menu need reprinting as the prices listed are not the prices charged Sadly for Baker, NV, the national park has not led to an economic boom with this as only motel and restaurant in the town. All in all, if you want to be close to the park, this is an ok option. read more

This review is about the RV park. The reservation process is not accurate! Even if you reserve online and they assign you a site, they tell you to just go choose a site when you get there. The water pumps leak (I mean spray 4 feet into the air!) at many of the sites. Ours sprayed over onto the electrical box! When we went to tell them and ask if it could be fixed, the man behind the counter said "I've been hearing that for 10 months". He said he couldn't do anything about it except refund our money. We had already set up our trailer so we had to just fill our water tank for water. read more

A DESERT OASIS. Stayed here for one night on a two week road trip. Camped in our RV. After being on the road for a week, it was nice to plug in, do laundry, take a hot shower. The basics were fully covered. But to top it off, the "casino" had a little grocery store, restaurant, 24 hour bar, pool tables, bar games, etc. The staff were so friendly. I'm not going to claim this place is fancy, but out there, it's a great place to recharge and have some fun. Also, the views were incredible and you're pretty close to the national park! read more

this place may look small and unassuming, but we had an awesome stay here! So great to be out in the middle of the desert, very quiet in the stargazing at night was phenomenal. We also had the most excellent burger! I definitely would stay here again.. read more

It's in the middle of nowhere making the Border Inn an essential stop. Gas up, rest, stay a night, or even grab a bite. They got you covered and you pretty have no other choice for miles. We parked at one of their full hookup sites for the convenience. However, they do have a dump station and you are allowed to boondock out front for free. The free length is unknown so please reach out to them for details. I would think for most, they would leave the following day on to their next destination. I truly appreciated the gas station given my truck is midsized with a small gas tank. It be wise to bring a gas can as I was in a situation where I nearly ran down to empty. I recommend if you are among these parts. read more

Great place to stay when you're traveling US 50 and/or visiting Great Basin National Park.

The 4 stars is for the restaurant. My family and I stayed 8 nights and ate there 3 to 4 times a day mainly when Eric was cooking, that guy knows his stuff . However when I asked Laura the bartender /server to pass my complement to the chef she rolled her eyes and began to bad mouth him and a few other unknown employees. Not cool.

Border Inn Casino RV Park: Site #3 has a broken water faucet. Horrible check-in. Assigned an occupied site & not given any directions, nor a map, nor a receipt. I went back. We discussed two other sites. She said either site would be fine. We picked a site & I came back soon to let her know which site. We hook up water last & found out the water faucet was broken. My husband went with me to notify her. She said "yeah, we know". She had multiple opportunities to tell us, but chose not to. Thanks to our kind next "door" neighbor, we were able to connect to his water faucet. His neighbor was also stating he had some similar issues at check-in. Her unprofessional, "I don't care" attitude was very off-putting. So, we didn't use any other services (store, casino, restaurant or gas). We don't recommend. You'd be better off checking out the RV Parks in Baker, or the gorgeous campgrounds in Great Basin National Park (no hookups). We won't be back to the Border Inn Casino. read more

The room is really outdated, has old uncomfortable beds, no soap, no plastic cups, no TV, mediocre internet and the light in the bathroom is no ore than a nightlight, on the ceiling. The restaurant has good food but not worth staying here or making to trip to visit here. One of the worst things is that they allow smoking in the restaurant and casino! And for $121 US I would expect more. Do not recommend this hotel. read more

As someone working in the area on a temp gig, this place has been a God-send I visit nearly daily. Tammy and Dawn need a raise, their service is exemplary. For the restaurant, you need to try their veggie cheese quesedillas. They hit the spot Their onion rings are the best As to the slots, they're not too bad. I've seen better and worse A short list of amenities this one stop shop has; Gas Diesel EV charging C-store with alcohol, tobacco, snacks and gift items. Lots of gift items. Also has a small selection of frozen and non perishable food Fill up here even at the higher cost; next gas is 88 miles away! Motel with basic rooms I have yet to stay in RV park with tent sites and full hookups as well. Not sure if 30 or 50 amp Laundromat and showers A full on casino with slots galore Arcade Bar Restaurant Blazing fast WiFi Books and DVDs for sale (Formerly) a propane exchange (Formerly) 2 payphones with no dial tone (Formerly) a public computer And they have a conference room incase you find yourself wanting to hold a convention in the middle of nowhere All in all, this place has become my second home. read more

Stay somewhere else. Woman (Alex) "check in manager" had serious attitude problem. Place was nearly empty had plenty of rooms ready, I had reserved two rooms ahead of time and she refused to let me and my 80 year old step father check in early at 1:30 pm. She then proceeded to ridicule me to other employees Just for asking. Very unprofessional and rude. Other staff were reasonable and polite. The gentleman checked us in at 2pm. Rooms are dated, No tv, 10 am check out, no cancelation, expensive gas, Water stains on ceiling, springy beds. Drove to another restaurant to eat because she was so rude to us, rather give the business elsewhere. I recommend getting food and fuel in the town of Baker 10min away. Wish I would have paid a lil bit more and stayed there as well. read more

This is a private owned business off Hwy 50, loneliest highway ever. They have just about everything you will need. A good nights rest in a clean room, and good food. With some of the friendliest service around. Their room rates are reasonable and you can fuel up on the spot with Phillips 66. This place is ideal for hikers visiting the Great Basin, or just stopping for a rest stop, and a bite. read more

In my opinion, The Border Inn and the surrounding area is the unofficial start to Route 50 - The Loneliest Road in America - 400 desolate miles through the middle of nowhere of the desert across the entire state of Nevada. I actually planned a weeklong journey beginning here right on the borderline of Utah and Nevada and Great Basin National Park while eventually ending in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area. What I liked most about this place is that it's a straightforward and quiet roadside stop. When I arrived here over the summertime this past July....I would basically describe The Border Inn as a gas station that offers supplies and basic necessities. Yet I didn't realize until I came upon here, that it's also a hotel/motel for the weary travelers. Huh....who woulda thought that? And....they also feature a casual restaurant including a small section for slot machines. Upon spending my 2nd day at Great Basin National Park, since there were few limited options on where to eat for dinner, I did return just a short ways back here to The Border Inn to sit down for a simple home cooked meal. Though, I never spent a night at the motel. For anyone that cares, I spent 2 evenings at the Whispering Elms Motel and RV Park in Baker (which I highly appreciated). Quick facts....... When I first pulled in to The Border Inn....literally being on the border of 2 states, I grabbed a photo of the "Welcome to Utah" sign and then turned around and took a photo of myself at the "Welcome to Nevada" sign! Lol...these type of landmarks are right up my alley, hehehe. Also...I stood in the middle of the road....and felt a true essence of what they meant saying this is the beginning of The Loneliest Road.... I mean, anywhere I looked, it's visually one straightforward road in and out of this place. The desert landscape was such a recognizable aspect when I gazed at the surroundings. I did grab a quick picture sitting in the middle of the road as I peered out into the desert abyss. Inside The Border Inn gas station...(I had read about this prior to venturing out here)...I picked up my Loneliest Road in America "Survival Guide" - a little booklet for my expedition across the state of Nevada. The purpose of this guide is sort of a playful and unique way to experience this ultimate roadtrip. In each of the 8 cities you pass through along The Loneliest Road, you can get your booklet stamped stating you made it through each of the historic towns along the 400 miles. Actually, you only need to get 5 of 8 towns to stamp your booklet. When all is said and done...mail in your survival guide and the Governor of Nevada will send you a complimentary certificate signifying you "Survived The Loneliest Road in America"! How cool! I did this and received my certificate and hung it up in a plaque on my wall. So....for those interested, here at The Border Inn....grab your free Survival Guide. I'd like to mention just the atmosphere and vibe I got when I arrived here. I'd say it was like being so far away from reality. Like being secluded from everything, and yet here I was....at a gas stop, w/ a diner, and motel surrounded by the scowling heat from the desert sun. It almost felt movie-esque. I liked it, even if I was only here for a short period of time. Since I did return for dinner, let me briefly describe my experience... The restaurant was very similar to just a blue collar diner, with tables and chairs, nothing fancy...just your old fashioned - all American type of place and setting featuring hearty comfort food. The menu had soups and salads, hamburgers, sandwiches (hot and cold), dinner plates like chicken fried steak w/ gravy, hamburger steak, ham steak, fried chicken, pork chops, shrimp and lasagna. I had the chicken breast covered in BBQ sauce - for $12.25. This came w/ a salad for a starter and with my meal I got a baked potato and dinner roll. Overall, the meal was basic and simple, yet just what I expected. Nothing fancy. The salad was fresh. I got 2 chicken breast pieces and the baked potato and dinner roll were standard - just fine for me. So I liked the restaurant. It was nothing over the top and a fine way to end my time after exploring Great Basin NP. Finally, my lasting impressions from The Border Inn and what I'll remember.... It was a cool and distinctive place to stop while I scouted out the area. I got to admire where I was and how far I traveled to get here. Even for just getting out and stretching your legs, I recommend to everyone to make a pit-stop here, whether to get gas, snacks and supplies, have a meal at the restaurant or spend overnight at the motel. I'm a fan. read more

This place is NOT in Baxter...on highway leading to Baxter. Arrived June 11th, 92 F outside...80 F in room, poorly working window AC unit mounted in wall. NO TV.They will not let you check in until EXACTLY 3 pm, though check out is 10 am. next to highway. Not sure why I gave them such a high rating. can't wait for tomorrow......leave this place avoid this place! Try and forget about it. AVOID this place, drive a few more miles into Baxter....plenty of options there read more

Where do I begin.... first off its the only option around and they are quite aware of that. The property should be condemned, the room me and my family stayed in was musty and damp smelling, I looked for the problem and found mold inside the cabinet and in the carpet the moisture was clearly coming from the toilet. I would avoid this at all cost and make other plans. read more

My friend and I are on a 2-week road trip and initially stopped here for a quick shower! The amenities were awesome, and the staff is super nice! The showers were warm and clean. We decided to stay longer and enjoy a nice meal at the restaurant. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience and occasionally checked in on us and chatted with us about our road trip. For 2 young girls traveling, it is always hard to find places to feel safe, but this is DEFINITELY a safe space for anyone! The Border Inn is a beautiful hidden oasis, and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Great Basin National Park or driving through the area. read more

Right on the border between Utah and Nevada on US 50, this is the most likely option for miles around since the places in Baker are unpredictable. Surprise! It was great. I only had breakfast but it was done right and priced fairly: French toast and eggs plus coffee for $9. The ambience is clean, unpretentious, and cordial. The business hours for the cafe as of 4/30/2022 are shown in the photo. Note that it's an electronic sign so if you're passing through at odd hours maybe you should call ahead. read more

A lifesaver in the middle of no where. It was a night little place. I stayed at the hotel. They had semi parking which was one of the reason why I picked the place. The funny thing is, I parked my truck at the UT Stateline and walked over to Nevada where I slept at the hotel. There was two sweet ole ladies that was at the counter to check me in. It was a really interesting place. For the hotel being out of no where the room was reasonable. Charge me $84 plus tax. The room is not some 5 star fancy hotel but it was nice. Clean room, comfy bed. I slept all night like a baby all night. The shower was great with a nice hot shower. Over all the room was great. Next day, I woke up and had breakfast at the restaurant attached to the place. Breakfast was nice, I had an Denver Ouellette. Also food was served very quickly probably was due to the place being slow. I had breakfast at 6am. The hotel also is pet friendly with a pet fee of $10 a night. Overall, I would stoop here again if I was in the area. Nice friendly customer service and clean place. A one stop shop for all your traveling needs. read more

After a long and hot motorcycle ride through Utah, this place is literally an oasis! Store and gas station is in Utah.

We stopped in on a trip in March 23. The casino section was so dark you couldn't see your way through to find the restroom. Even after your eyes adjusted from coming in from outside it was still way dark. I went to buy a drink at the bar and couldn't tell what money I had in my wallet because it was SO F'in DARK! Apparently the owner turned off the lights to save money. The casino was only lit by the gambling machine lights. This is dangerous and probably illegal. Other than that it was understaffed by overworked people who just wanted to go home. read more

This review is for the gas station only. We have stopped here a couple of times on our way East on US 50 from Nevada. I think my four stars are mostly for the fact that it is there, in the middle of nowhere, perched smack dab on the border of Utah and Nevada. The gas station section is in Utah, the Inn and I assume the casino are in Nevada. There is an RV Park, motel, restaurant, gas station and casino. A convenient one stop place. For my needs, having gas, using my card at the machine with no problems, a clean squeegee and wash water make me a happy camper. The prices are a few cents cheaper than in Baker, but more expensive than in Ely. It also gives one peace of mind before heading out for the 80+ mile drive through some of the most desolate, suprisingly beuatiful expanse of nothingness. They are not kidding you. There is NOTHING util you hit Delta. So yea, I'm a fan. read more

Border Inn Casino - Pretty much middle of nowhere. Gas food the usual amenities. - Hotels Near Me - Baker, Nevada

A dump, albeit a clean dump. Wifi does not work at all. never got a connection in two days. We asked and were told "we have trouble getting a signal out to the rooms". Really? Yet you advertise free wifi. The wifi didn't work in the restaurant, either. A/C in the room is incredibly loud. Our room key only worked when inserted 'just so', something the non-English comprehending person at the register failed to tell us (we had to get the maintenance(?) guy show us the trick). Queen bed is a bit uncomfortable but YMMV. Check-in is bizarre. You have to go the convenience store register, which means you're holding up store customers while you fill out all the motel registration crap. Cafe is open at 6 AM, a plus. Coffee is available at the store 24/7. Everyone is grumpy. This might be the best choice in Baker (although the motel is actually four miles away from town on the Utah border), but they still get a low rating because of the issues, particularly the wifi. I don't like being cheated and advertising something you clearly can't provide is cheating your customers. read more

There really isn't much around here so you'll probably end up having to eat here, but if you can avoid it, you should. They were out of half of what was on the menu, and what we actually ended up with was pretty bad - soggy, tasteless, and obviously from a freezer. The 'casino' is a few rows of video slots and the regulars give you the full-on hairy eyeball as you walk in. It was something to remember, that's for sure, a good story for our trip to Great Basin National Park, but not in a good way! read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here overnight when visiting Great Basin National Park. The place is perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay. We felt very safe and the people were super friendly. Given that they are out in the middle of desert, they had everything we needed to have a nice stay without driving far out of the way to get it. Some of the things in the convenience store are more expensive than in the city, but it's not easy to ship all of that stuff out here in the first place so all I would say is bring your own oreos haha. They have a restaurant that is open from 6am to 10pm nightly, they have a gas station, rooms, slots, pool, an arcade and a bar. We never had to stress about whether they had something because it was a one stop shop and it was super convenient. Travel a few miles out of the way and you could even go stargazing. When my boyfriends key batteries stopped working they had batteries and we did not have to stress out too much. The prices are very fair and I never felt like I was being gouged. I would 100% stay here again. read more
