    We stayed at the RV Park section and it was really nice. Quiet and serene and just 15 min from the Great Basin NP. And the food in the Restaurant/Bar was very good.

    Cute, retro microwave

    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.

    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.

    Friendly staff, good food and drinks. The motel rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. The casino has slots and video poker, no table games. There is an RV park, gas station and convenience store.

This hotel and gambling hall is located off E. Aultman St. which is also Great Basin Hwy. Out front are a few big sculptures. Parking is free here. I booked the room using Spark.com website. I got a Dlx Dbl Rm 2 Queens for $104.08 x 2 nights + $28.09Tax = $236.15. Breakfast is not included. Our room was on the second floor. I don't think there is an elevator here. We used the stairs. Upon check-in, we were given 2 drink tickets good for 2 Well Drinks from the Prospector Lounge. The room was nice, nicer than I thought it was going to be! It was nice that there was a safe in the room as well as a microwave and a larger mini-fridge. In the room, we were given some candy and earplugs. We didn't need the earplugs. We didn't hear anything going on in the hallway during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well! We stayed here for two nights. If you desire to have some wine in your room, there are two bottle of Wolfgang Puck Wines for purchase. There's an on-site restaurant called Margaritas. It seemed like a cozy place to eat. We saw the steak and decided to give it a try, but we should have opted for a Mexican entrée instead. Maybe it would have been better. The Gambling Hall is the casino. It isn't in a room with a divider or barrier so the smoke is pretty prevalent. I truly felt like I was transported back to before the 1980's when smoking was allowed everywhere! I think smoking is not allowed in the Guest Rooms. I would not hesitate to book another room here again.

I was worried about noise since my room was on the first floor close to the slot machines, but I didn't hear much noise. The shower was wonderful pressure and it gets HOT. Fantastic post hike! This might be the only hotel at this tier that offers you a toothbrush and toothpaste (even though the brush was terrible, but it was something!) Note that there is a microwave and refrigerator for your convenience in your room. Also, there's a coffee machine to make tea. The Mexican restaurant was also very good at a decent price. I'm a seasoned traveler and I am happy I got to stay here and would stay here again if I ever come up this way.

It had a king in one room, a queen in the other, and a full pull-out couch in the common area. There was also a kitchenette (mini fridge, microwave, sink, counter and cupboard space). The bathroom was roomy and had a spa tub with jets. We were in the "executive rooms" building across the parking lot from the main building (literally only a 30 foot walk). It is two story and did not have elevators. The couch bed, when folded out, partially blocked one bedroom door and made passing to the other side of it impossible without crawling over the bed, which was unfortunate. It was also a really low-quality, lumpy, springy mattress. But at least we had bed space for everyone. There is only one a/c unit (in the common area) , so to cool the bedrooms you have to keep the doors open. The jetted tub was a really nice surprise. The one jet behind the back was pretty weak, unfortunately, but the other four were good and strong and felt great. Breakfast was good: waffles, biscuits and gravy, cheese omelettes, a variety of cereal, toast, muffins, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt. The juice was really good: real, fresh orange juice instead of the usual watery stuff, and POG juice! There was also a great selection of 8 different teas, all good brands (no Lipton!) which I really enjoyed. The kids loved the pool, which is heated, and the hot tub. It is a chlorine pool. If you have to stay in Ely, this is the place to do it.

So i went outside and booked one online…read more They put us on the 2nd floor in the "executive suites" across the parking lot but failed to mention there is no elevator.

I`ve been traveling to Ely on and off for the last 20 years and have stayed here and there around town, but decided to try to save a few bucks and stay at Rustin Inn last time. I thought perhaps this was a diamond in the rough. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to a place being "clean". I don`t know. Let's just do a pros and cons list to make this easy. Pros: -Cheap. I paid $55 for a night -Location was on the main road, so it felt relatively safe -Hot shower -Nice owner -Parking right outside your room Cons: -When I arrived, no one was in the office, which is totally fine, but there was a note on the door that had guest names and the rooms they were staying in(directing them to the room number). I don`t love a note with the room I`m staying in to be available for anyone to view -There is a difference between rustic and dingy. I had room 14 and it was okay, definitely had seen better days. My issue was with the cleanliness. The sheets were formerly white but now were a tan color from wear. The pillows were flat and the actual pillows had stains on them. Pillow covers were the same worn color of the sheets. I slept in my hoodie because I didn`t want to lay on the pillows. Random hair(not mine) in the shower and a less than pristine toilet. I know, I know. This is a cheap motel. The front office looks so cute with the lights and homey feel. The motel has a lot of potential, but it needs repair, updated items, and a deep clean. I`ll pass on this place in the future. For $20 you can stay elsewhere that will be cleaner and more comfortable.
