We had a medical emergancy during our day trip from Fernley to Elko, and had to stop overnight. The Express Inn was the best price for us, and had a vacancy. The manager was very helpful and patient, and the room, while modest, was clean and appropriate. Many thanks.

The rooms are large, Clean and updated, it is quiet and the beds are comfortable. The outside needs some work but it seems like they started renovations with the rooms and that is the right way to go.

Although breakfast is included with stay, there is no dining room at this place. The food is located at the check-in desk area, where you must place your breakfast on a tray and then walk it across a parking lot to your room. On top of this logistical inconvenience, a key staff member questions you on how much food is appropriate on your tray. Otherwise, the room is very clean and modern.

Worth staying at

The service was great. The hostess did an amazing job. The outside looks old and rundown. However, the room looked recently renovated. They were very nice and clean. My only complaint is that the showerhead needs to change to one with a bit less power. Even though you can control the water pressure, the low pressure still felt like it wanted to rip my skin off, and I was not fond of that feeling. I was told the Inn is close to a fair grounds, but we didn't check it out. There's a Chinese restaurant in the same plaza. My husband and I ate there for dinner and found it at best, edible. I would recommend the Stay Express inn, but not the Chinese restaurant next door.

When we first pulled up and I looked at the outside of the motel, I told my husband that we were not going to stay there. We were going to find somewhere else, but I had already booked the room and paid to figuring for it so I thought I would at least check it out. The room was tiny, but it was immaculately clean. And the sheets were the most comfortable sheets. I think I’ve ever slept on.
