I have to say this is a crazy motel! The rates are very economical. The rooms are almost unbelievable! The bedding, linens and bathroom were clean. The carpet was old and stained, the chairs and furniture were repaired with duct tape as was the bathroom floor, (see picture). The soiled curtain on the front window was held closed by a... More

"Holy Carp, its a clown hotel!" I yelled to myself on one drive from points south to points north via Nevada and Tonopah... I really thought, at this point in my drive, that I was hallucinating. It had been some time since I had done this drive, and back then the Clown Motel was shut down. But it was open,... More

A friend and I stayed at the Clown Motel for one night. I've passed by it three times, working up the nerve to stay there. I'm so glad I did! We got the last available room, and it was clean and comfortable. It was a nonsmoking room, just fine, no smells. The furniture and appliances (AC and fridge) were in... More

Staff was so nice. Very clean room even tho is older and a bit run down. Small fridge and microwave. Free wifi! Would stay here again! :-) Quiet and homey...there are clowns everywhere but not in our room...thank God. There is a cemetery next door from the 1800's...very interesting. We were very tired from driving from Flagstaff on put way... More

Despite the hokey look of the place, its a clean, well-maintained old road motel by a family that clearly cares about its customers. In town, you can't beat the value for the small price (i paid $44 for my family of 5 with the dog - the guy at the desk ). Sure, the linens are old and the rooms... More

Just passing through and needed a bed and a shower. Smelly A/C, found the linens scary and smelly had to sleep on top of the bed with my own spare blanket. Don't stay here.

My friend and I found the Clown Motel to be the easiest stop on our way to las Vegas from Yosemite National Park. And it was actually great, rooms were clean and comfortable. We were exhausted from the trip, so it was really nice to have a warm shower and a nice bed. The downside is that there's no breakfast... More

On a recent trip to Carson City my wife and I had a night in Tonopah and after looking at the reviews decided to use the Clown. BAD CHOICE, not eclectic-rundown, dirty and shopworn. Let me illuminate. Dirty bedspreads, 2 chairs in the room both unusable-broken legs, blankets had burn holes, carpet badly stained, refrigerator propped up with a bar... More

The Clown Motel is a motel, not a bed and breakfast. It is old, very worn, but unique. I had an antique Radar range (microwave) that worked just great in my room. Nifty! The shower was spectacular- a huge showerhead with pressure to blast you out of the room. The building is old, you can hear every creak and footstep... More
