We got stuck in Elko when our truck had some mechanical issues. We unfortunately chose this motel because they advertised an indoor pool. Big mistake! We could have lived without the pool had we known this place would be so dirty. First off, the hallways were smelly and the carpets were very dirty around the edges. I was nearly knocked... More

I apologize for your unsatisfactory stay. We are currently in the process of replacing many of our carpets and up dating the hotel. Our pool does get busy at times, and it is hard to keep everyone happy. We do our best to deliver the best customer service, comfort of our hotel and cleanliness of our rooms. I do hope... More

Here we go again in elko. It's been awhile since I stayed here and I'm getting around to a review now. First off the blonde clerk on swing shift was hitting on pipeliners who were staying at the Inn long term and having inappropriate conversations with them while guests are in the lobby wanting service that's outside of meeting up...

I wouldn't suggest anyone stay at this hotel unless you like nasty rooms, the smell of smoke, rude staff and disrespectful kids always running around. I've stayed in this hotel a few time (husbands work) and everytime my experience gets worse. The staff have very few friendly staff members. Even the maids are extremely rude and we've had multiple problems... More

Worst hotel ever! Dirty, slow internet, uncomfortable beds, noisy. Stayed in a non-smoking room where people all around smoked. Smoked in the hallways too and hotel staff did nothing about it. This hotel makes Motel 6 seem like a 5-star hotel. Seriously terrible.

I really like this hotel. They have an indoor pool which is nice in the winter months. I've stayed here 4 times. This is a very clean friendly place to stay.

My friends and I decided to head up to Elko to go swimming at the High Desert Inn. BIG MISTAKE! After swimming for about an hour I saw a young unsupervised child standing on the stairs peeing in the pool. How did I know the child was peeing you ask, because she was screaming it at the top of her... More

This hotel used to be one of our favorites! Boy, has it ever changed! It is run-down, dirty, and just a touch scary! First, the room....filthy carpet, stained in many places with who-know what! Secondly, the bed...I didn't pull it down until quite late....holes in the sheet and some sort of stain...I then investigated the blanket, figuring I could sleep... More

I am in Elko on extended business, and have been staying at the High Desert. It's grimy, and smelly, because smoking is allowed in the hallways. The interior of the hotel tends to stay dirty, but I'll blame the plethora of mining/pipeline/construction workers that track mud and dust constantly (including myself). The staff is very friendly, and like another reviewer... More

Staff at front desk was very nice and it was nice that they had a room after we had checked several other places in town. Room was large, clean, and we definitely would stay there again.

It was a stopover on a road trip. It was cheap, the room was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The indoor pool area was decent. For a last minute booking without knowing much, it's hard to complain. Would I go back, no. but that's more an indictment of Elko than the High Desert Inn. The whole town seemed... More
