“Bring your own ant baits”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

My family has stayed in this hotel 5 - 6 times over the past few years. We stopped staying here about 18 months ago because the last time we stayed there were ants in the pool area (I HATE ANTS!) and because the breakfast "attendant" was more like a sentinel, seeming to stand at the ready for anybody who might be "hoarding". Because my favorite hotel was full this trip, I stayed here overnight with my young son. Things haven't changed much. The paint is peeling badly in the pool. The access door to the fitness room opens directly to the pool, causing the fitness equipment to rust. There was no remote for the TV in the fitness room, and I had to remove the bag from the trash can and overturn it to use as a stool to reach the TV controls (REALLY?! A universal remote can be had for $5). In the past, we once got a room with a combo VCR/DVD player; all other times, we got a VCR only (who travels with VHS tapes, with DVD vending machines everywhere?!). I was able to secure a ground floor room after explaining that because of recent surgery I couldn't carry bags up/down stairs, but the room we got smelled so heavily of Febreeze that I had to air it out by leaving my window open on a chilly November afternoon - leaving me to wonder what they were trying so hard to cover up. Both remotes in our room had broken or missing battery compartments, which they compensated for with Scotch tape (they did work, though). The tub stopper didn't work properly, and I had to plug the drain with a washcloth for my son's bath. The shower curtain kept creeping to the middle of the rod, because the curved rod was falling off the wall (and had done so twice previously, as witnessed by the unrepaired holes in the wall). The bathroom fan was so loud that my son couldn't understand me over it. The telephones were poor; when my husband called us, I could barely hear him (and he has a booming voice); my son couldn't hear him well enough to understand him. When I woke in the morning, it felt as if my feet were elevated; turns out the mattress in my bed had what can only be described as a "sinkhole". (I wasn't brave enough to pull back the sheet to find out why.) The free breakfast is a total carbfest - no protein anywhere except for the peanut butter condiment and milk for the cereal. No butter/margarine was provided either. As I exited the shower, there were about a dozen ants on the bathroom to greet me (we were, after all, right across from the pool, where they'd been noted on previous visits). As a previous reviewer noted, the instructions for accessing the internet are incorrect and outdated. Only one luggage cart is available, which means it's usually NOT available. On the upside, the place appears clean, the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Microwave, fridge (with small freezer compartment), and coffee maker in room - all clean and functional. This room is worth about $50-$60 in my opinion, not the $80 I paid and certainly not the $90-$100 listed on the chain's website.

Room Tip: Ask for a ground floor room, or be prepared to drag suitcases up a flight of stairs. If you do manag...

“Wish I knew what it was like to stay here.....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

I am very upset with this hotel. We were moving from Maryland to Nevada and after a long day of driving we wanted to stay here. Since we were driving a 26ft Uhaul and pulling a car we called this hotel to ask if they had parking for us. They said there was absolutely nowhere for us to park and cancelled our reservation. We then called the other hotels in town and the Holiday Inn Express folks told us we could park on a street about 100 yards from the hotel. We then reserved a room there (by the way the Holiday Express is a very nice hotel). It turns out that the street parking was right beside the Comfort Inn, and we literally had to walk right by the Comfort Inn to get to the Holiday Inn Express. I think this is ridiculous. Why couldn't the Comfort Inn staff inform us of this parking location? I have stayed approximately 30 days in Comfort Inns in the last year, and this is by far the worst customer service I have received at any Comfort Inn.

“Wondering Where to Stop on I-80 with Kids in WY or NV?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

You Can Count on this!

With a pool, fitness room, lovely outdoor flowers, nice looking hotel and rooms, peaceful area, lovely mountain view from room, GREAT breakfast included, friendly helpful staff, refrigerator, and laundry facilities! Comfort Inns are becoming my new favorite hotel!

Breakfast was included tasty hot items as well!

Note: There was no elevator to second floor, construction going on street in front of hotel Aug. 2011, was not an extra problem, just found it easier to turn right and later do a U-turn to get headed back out on 80. This should not be an issue for much longer.

We had originally planned on staying in West Wendover at the Nevada-Utah border, and while they had a wonderfully helpful lady at the visitor's center, the atmosphere in late afternoon had me concerned even about my teen/young adult children. Possibly the draw from the local casinos. The unbelievably low prices of those hotels was NOOOOO draw for me, as safety is way more important to me. Driving the extra difference to Elko was worth it as the kids had much freedom to explore the hotel and surroundings and enjoyed an amazing sunset while I enjoyed the quiet of my room.

Our experience at this, our first time visit of a Comfort Inn, made it an easy choice to go to another one later in our trip.

It's a long way across Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada...plan your stops carefully as they are few.... and, they are far between!

Room Tip: Ours faced the parking lot near the entrance and had a beautiful mountain view.

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

We checked in late evening, and didn't think to ask if there was an elevator when we were assigned a second floor room. It was difficult to lug our heavy suitcases up the stairs. Carpet looked new. Building and furniture looked old. Instructions for hooking up to the internet were outdated and wrong. We looked all around for the LAN connection that the instructions on the table told us to use and finally called the front desk and were told that it was a WiFi connection. There is no light over or on the table that is used for the desk. Thinking that a plus of being on the second floor would be the view, I opened the curtains to look directly at a concrete block wall much higher then my sight line( the back of the car dealership building next door). The area between the two buildings was brightly lit all night. Wifi was very slow. Breakfast adequate. The price for our room was far higher then the experience was worth, and I'm glad we only had to stay one night. Road construction began about 4:00 am, which is not the fault of Comfort Inn, but travelers might want to check if it is still going on because it affects most of the hotels in Elko since the traffic is a mess and the noise and vibrations are very annoying.

Room Tip: Ask for ground floor if you need an elevator.

Excellent service provided when making reservation. Otherwise about average, or slightly above, for a two-star motel. Would stay here again.
