My mother was kicked out of her hotel after four hours of paying for the night the woman manager was beating on the door telling her to leave read more

Not only was this place an absolute dump, but it seemed like the guy behind the counter was trying to dodge Orbitz fees and scam us into paying more. I made a reservation through Orbitz a month ahead of time but when we got there the guy claimed he didn't have record of our reservation. Even after giving him both our names AND showing him the reservation email from Orbitz. It was late, so we agreed to pay extra for what he claimed was the only available room. A king for $80+. I got Orbitz on the line to see what they could do and they immediately called Lovelock Inn. Guy behind the counter magically finds our reservation, and after a bit of a struggle we finally got offered our original room and the 10$ we payed for the king room. The whole issue was super fishy. The queen room was even worse than the king room they tried to charge us for, but both rooms were nasty. The pictures included in this review are of the queen room. I can't say enough how filthy these rooms are. People should not be staying in them. Please please please, learn from our giant mistake of booking with Lovelock and go somewhere else! Every minute here was terrible. Nasty, filthy, overpriced rooms with paper thin walls and strange smells. read more

I was looking for a place to layover on a Friday night. Called and the extremely friendly lady gave me directions. The front is landscaped very rustic but beautiful. Lots of parking including room for several semi trucks. The lobby feels like an old hunting lodge complete with a deer head over the fireplace. The wonderful woman checking me in explained they just reopened. This hotel is over 60 years old and used to house several famous actors back in its day. Current day it is clean, inviting and comfortable. The TV is old but is hooked up to lots of channels via satellite. They have wifi. This is nothing compared to a 5 star hotel but the price was under $50 on a Friday night and the customer service was awesome. If I ever need to lay over in this town again I know where I will stay. read more

We stayed here overnight as a half-way point on our way from California to Boise. The Lovelock Inn is obviously a faded lady from better times, when the big freeway didn't cut right past town. The staff was incredibly friendly, the room extremely clean, the king bed surprisingly comfortable. Coming here is like traveling back in time to the motor lodges of the 40s-60s.. You get a real room key (not a card), to a door where the knob is set back 5" instead of today's 3. The room had an old TV with DirectTV satellite, there's a coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave. Beautiful 1940s tile work in the shower and some wonky deco-inspired plumbing fixtures with separate hot and cold taps (that dripped a bit). There is 5ghz wi-fi that was excellent, but do bring some power adapters to charge all your electronic junk because the outlets are few and far between So yeah, the place is worn, outdated even. But it's a very honest experience and the owners are really making an effort to make a go of it in a small-town way that is easy to understand and a freshing change from all the antiseptic chains. The downsides: the train tears through blowing its whistle every few hours (at least on this Tuesday night) -- so bring your earplugs! I think every motel in town has this problem since the line parallels the main drag, so you can't fault the Lovelock Inn there. The pool is closed. Also, I'd ask for a room on the back side of the building because the elevated section freeway out front is shockingly close (but noise was not a problem). It was $66 for our king room. read more

We, like the other reviewers before us, turned off at the first Lovelock exit going Eastbound on I80. There was the Lovelock Inn. Looked clean, we drove in. The clerk we woke up, was a nice enough fellow and after an inappropriate comment gave us a room. After a few minutes of lying in the spacious king bed we realized there was a film of sand between us and the sheets. We should've Gotten another room at this point. But we were very tired. So we grabbed the towels, and we swept off the bed as best we could, and we went to sleep. For a good two weeks after we were worried we had also brought home pests with us. The good news is, we didn't. So although the sands of the desert did share the evening with us, there were no other bed partners. I cannot suggest this as a good place to stay. read more

Lovelock Inn - This is not the Ritz. - Hotels Near Me - Lovelock, Nevada

It makes for a great crash pad. We got in at 4am. The manager initially charged us $10 per dog, then dropped it to $5 when we went to pay because the king room wasn't available (construction: who, by the way, were quiet). He also didn't hold us to an 11am checkout since we got in when the first of daylight was starting to sneak over the eastern ridge. Our little Havanese dogs were quite comfortable. As were we. The linens looked old bit cared for, similar to my grandmother's house back in Chicagoland. We didn't use them, but that's because we use our own pillow and blanket on trips so we don't get too snug and not want to get up the next day. Country accents. Original wood crown molding and pieces. Lantern-style center light and a Coca-Cola bottle opener on the bathroom door frame. Painted brick (actual brick) walls. Small room, but quaint moreso than cheap in the size. It keeps you comfortable. TV and dresser in a little alcove allows the walking aisles to be open. Gabled windows that open out. We missed the breakfast, but that's because we didn't fall asleep til 5am. Otherwise 7-11am breakfast is generous. AC has vintage dial settings, but clean and functional. All in all, it ain't the Hilton but its charm keeps you calm. It's low-key nature and accommodating conditions made it an ideal stay. And the Manager, I swear, works there 24/7. He was the guy that checked us out when we left later on that day. I think he's the owner/operator. read more

Lovelock Inn - If we had bottles, we would have used it - Hotels Near Me - Lovelock, Nevada

You can't beat the Lovelock Inn. It's the best hotel you come across out in the middle of nowhere. It's right off of the freeway and just a few blocks from the gas station, Safeway and downtown. They also have real cable TV, when do you ever get that at a hotel? Never! It's always like 5 channels and that's it! I love that they welcome pets as well, which is a must when I travel with my furry friend. They have a brand new pool with nice trees and shade if you want to have a barbecue or just chill by the pool. The rooms are nice and clean and the managers are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

After the most horrendous start to a cross country road trip from Cali to Boston we finally stopped at this motel in Nevada. The reception area seemed quaint in a rustic sort of way (there was a deer head mounted above the fireplace). The white haired chain smoking woman behind the reception desk brought to mind old black and white detective films and seedy motels. The actual room felt very clean, had two large queen size beds, and (surprisingly) didn't smell of smoke. All in all, pretty good bang for our buck. Now I wish I had gotten a better shot of that deer head :( read more

Lovelock Inn - 8/11/2010 - Hotels Near Me - Lovelock, Nevada

I ended up here when the higher rated motels in the area were booked after a long day of driving. Pros: Close to 80 Cheaper than staying in Winnemucca Dog friendly Cons: Heavily stained carpet that felt dirty. I couldn't walk around without shoes on. Stains around toilet seat and sink Smelled like urine Hair in shower Cockroach in the bathroom in the morning Flat hard pillows Just felt dirty, dingy, and really outdated There were even stains on their laminated welcome pamphlet to the hotel There is a train track very close and trains throughout the night that are very loud from the room Everything felt dirty. For how run down the motel is, the rooms should be half the price of what they go for Do yourself a favor and keep driving or make reservations elsewhere. read more

Cute little historical motel conveniently located near Hwy 80, but not so close to be noisy. In fact it is very peaceful here sitting on the porch. Since it is a historical motel, the decor and ambience reflect that. However, it is very clean and the managers are very attentive to ensure that!! Most importantly, the manager, Brandy, is just so amazingly friendly and helpful. Indeed it is a 5-star service for a 2-star price. read more

Well it started it plastic pillows. Then warm refer. Found that light by bed did not work. Investigation revealed that you can not plug 3 things into a plug designed for 2. Further found that plug was wore out so that the things you plug in will not stay. Grounds in poor shape as well. Unit ok clean, old motel but reasonable otherwise. Facility is owned by people from India. read more

This was a great road side find. The price was reasonable enough. You can tell the owners go out of there way to have all the amenities covered. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 is because it is very close to the train tracks. Trains rolled through a few times during the night, rattle rattle- hoot hoot read more

BATES MOTEL - do not stay at this hotel. There are people there did not fit the bills. Danger, I felt when I was there!

I wanted to like this motel. But it is so run down and dismal that it is hard not to notice. The pool looks like a scene from a nuclear wasteland. Some lovely details of the room included peeling paint on the ceiling, incredibly stained carpet, someone else's hair in the bed, and coarse old bedspreads. Eek! The few good aspects were the nice employee who checked us in, free wifi, and a fridge and freezer in the room. It is clearly a truck stop with amenities geared towards that demographic. read more

We stayed here on our way moving from California to Kansas. My husbands car was breaking down and we needed to stop and we seen this motel coming off of I-80 and the sign said vacancy so we stopped in. The price was great, only $50 and it was $10 per pet. The front desk man was very nice. It did look a bit dated but was otherwise clean and nice in our opinion. It had a flat screen tv which was nice because we were able to plug an HDMI into it and play shows off our laptop. I would stay here again if we needed to. read more

you have all the loveliness of the train running just outside across the road...while not disturbing at night, it gives u the feeling u have gone back in time to a much slower era read more

Lovelock Inn - View from outside room - Hotels Near Me - Lovelock, Nevada

We stayed at Lovelock Inn for one night, desperate to find a room for under $100 between Lovelock and Truckee, CA. We paid $78 for two people on a Saturday night, the man at the front desk was nice, the room was well equipped with a refrigerator, wifi, working A/C, TV, etc. It was a quaint motel but it also had trash outside on the porch, stains on the pillows, and they said breakfast was included, but there was no breakfast in the morning. All that being said, I did have a kind of sweet spot for the place and would stay there again if we were passing through town. Would feel better about it if we'd only paid $50. read more

This was our first stop on a cross country trip and we were looking forward to a cozy, clean spot to lay our heads. This WAS NOT that! The clerk was nice enough, but walking into the room was so shocking we couldn't believe our eyes. The stained carpet, the dirty, old bed spreads and accompanying blankets, the build up of dirt and dust in the corners of the room and on the surge protector that was stretched across the wall. Someone has no pride in their business! read more

I made reservations online. The online photos are deceptive. The motel is on the main road, with windows facing the road, and for the other segment of the hotel, windows facing the outside corridor where everyone walks to and from their rooms. It's only ground floor, and thus not safe for a woman alone. Even though it is advertised as 'pet friendly,' the owner/operator informed me that he does not like dogs on the property. I travel with a federally licensed service dog who is welcomed almost everywhere I go. The owner/operator asked me to leave his property with my dog and cancelled the reservation. I was on the verge of collapse having driven about 500 miles that day and had to look for another place to stay overnight. I ended up at the Casino hotel, which has much better rooms, safer, with a sense of privacy, and was way less costly. The next day I had to spend more than an hour on the phone with Expedia to get my money back from Lovelock Inn. read more

I absolutly loved this motel! It is cute old historical motel in a cute little histlrical town. The clerk was very friendly and gave us great food suggestions (The Cowpoke Cafe). The room was large, and despite a stain on the carpet (it was a pet room) it was clean and it smelled nice. It had a HD TV with Direct TV and movie chanells. There was a coffee pot, fridge w/ freezer, microwave, and a hair dryer. The air and heat both worked well. The bed had clean linnens and the matress was like new and was very comfortable. The bathroom was huge, and the shower was amazing! The water was hot and the water pressure when turned all the way up was like taking a shower under a fire hose! :D The view of the mountains from the porch was beautiful, and the large yard out front with its giant old growth elm trees made for a very peaceful atmosphere. There was plenty of room to play with my dogs, they had picnic tables and nice gas barbeque grills for guests to use. It was far enough off of the interstate that traffic noise was not an issue, however the train tracks are right there... I thought the twice a day train whistle added to the ambiance though and enjoyed sitting on the porch counting the train cars. I look forward to stopping there again on my way back across the country! read more
