雷鳥汽車旅館(Thunderbird Motel)

Booked room with the understanding they accepted esa animals as it states, and was charged fees that weren’t specifically for animals. It was an “additional family fee”. No other motels/hotels I was charged this fee especially with supporting esa documents. Also when leaving the motel early in the morning there was a homeless person climbing out of the window right next to the room I was staying at. Did not feel safe here at all, needs better security. Do not recommend

We’ve stayed at the Thunderbird many times before when visiting Elko, NV and we’ve always had a pleasant stay. This time, Room 204 was disappointing. The bed spread was really stained; the bathroom sink light was failing; an electrical outlet was missing it’s cover plate; and the room had no smoke detector. I addressed these issues with the owner/manager and he assured me they’d be corrected. He’s a good man who runs a good operation, so I believe they’ll be repaired. Thunderbird is still a tremendous bargain and a very nice independent motel that is worthy of your business. We’ll be coming back.

The lady at the counter was very nice. The bed was very comfortable. We had room 203. There was only one coffee packet for two people but that didn't matter because the coffee maker didn't brew coffee. The shower products are in pumps and they were all empty so we weren't able to wash our hair or bodies. The shower drain is clogged so you stand in dirty water. The cleaning person needs to be talked to because all of this should have been caught while that person was cleaning. We left before the office was open so we could not inform the front desk. Sorry, but not going to stay here next visit to Elko.

Big, clean room in walking distance of lots of restaurants, and close to the highway. Cool artwork on the outside of the building. Well-lit, safe-feeling parking. Friendly check in staff. Nice cold filtered water available in the lobby. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensed in the shower from push-button units. Unfortunately my conditioner nozzle was blocked and it was too early in the morning to report it to the front desk.

The staff was nice and the price was budget friendly, however, the room was not cleaned properly. There was an empty soda can on the floor as well as a wet spot next to the bed, the mirror was covered in handprints, and there was a cockroach in the bathroom. I chose this motel due to the good reviews, but the condition of the room left me feeling gross and unclean.

We stay here usually a couple times a year as it is a half way point on our drive to visit kids. Great place to stay away from the bustle. Clean, refinished rooms. The price is right.

I enjoy the Thunderbird. I just need a place to crash when I have business in Elko. It's very inexpensive and that's what I like.

Worst stay on our road trip so far on day 13. After we showered we noticed bugs probably roaches in the bathroom. We finished our night there and left pretty early. I would not recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at The Thunderbird! With all the hotel options in Elko, I’m glad we chose Thunderbird. Plus, it has pet friendly rooms!
