I stayed here a couple of nights ago. It was adequate. It's obviously a refurbished hotel which I appreciate. They only have queen beds - no kings. Just a personal preference when I'm traveling by myself. I got in late, coming back from a funeral and having driven all day so I was quite rung out. The front desk lady... More

I had a first floor room that was very quiet considering it was close to the casino and a lot of traffic went down the hall. It did not smell smoky to me, but I did not run the heat or a/c. The room was large and only had 3 lamps with low watt bulbs so it was a little... More

We stayed in a first floor room, which was very nice and deemed non-smoking. Upon entrance, I did not smell smoke and was pleased with the cleanliness. However, we ran the a/c or fan overnight and I woke to a stale smokey smell throughout our room. Maybe, the ventilation system picked up some of the smokey air from the casino... More

The front desk was efficient and gave us a perfect room! Our room was large, clean and did not smell like smoke-since this is a casino I was afraid of that. I was able to gamble on a penny machine for almost 2 hours and did not loose my shirt! The breakfast was great and all the staff was very... More

I stayed at the Red Lion last month and the room was a good size, clean, and updated. 1. The hotel was pet-friendly and had plenty of grass around it outside. 2. The staff was very friendly from the Front Desk to maintenance. 3. I booked a room with 2 queens for $75/night through Priceline.com and paid a $15 pet... More

I've stayed in other hotels in Elko before and this one is just as, if not more, comfortable as any of them. They may not have a breakfast bar that it included in the rate but I'm looking for a good night sleep not a carb load in the morning. The rooms are beautiful, beds are very nice to sleep... More

I had been to the Red Lion Inn and saw on their site that they had newly remodeled. the rooms. The room I got previously was NOT remodeled. This time I asked to be sure that I got the remodeled room and I did. It is still a simple room, but the new bedding and wallpaper made a huge difference.... More

I've stayed at the Elko Red Lion multiple times on business. I've visited a few of the other local hotels, and the Red Lion is my favorite. Large, comfortable, quiet rooms. Good coffee shop. Good buffet, although a bit pricey. Management and service are flawless. Elko is a cute little town, and if you're there for more than one night,... More

The Red Lion was a great place to stay for the price. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower was relaxing. We were on the bottom floor and just a few rooms down the hall and we did not have problems with the smoke smells like previous guests. The buffet is ok, but not the best... More
