Stayed here on a road trip to Great Basin NP. Our room was spacious and clean with a confortsble bed. Nice toiletry items, including toothbrush and toothpaste! The room included 2 bottles of decent wine for purchase (although we didn’t purchase). At checkin we were each given a coupon for 1 glass of complimentary beer or wine from the casino bar… a nice perk! The casino also had a decent Mexican and steak restaurant. Would stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were friendly, but the facilities were disappointing. The King bed my wife and I slept on was the worst most uncomfortable mattress either of us can remember. It was soft and lumpy and clearly should have been replaced long ago. The motel advertised a pool and hot tub, the latter which we were looking forward to on the cold night we arrived. Both inside amenities were closed without explanation.
