I had a really good stay at the Bristlecone Motel. It’s a motel so there aren’t many amenities, but that’s exactly what I expected. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets smelled fresh. The bathroom and shower were spotless. I was in the middle of moving and asked if I could have a room where I could park my car right outside, and they were happy to accommodate that, which I really appreciated. I had stayed down the road before at Prospector’s Casino, and this was a far superior stay in terms of cleanliness. I was traveling alone and felt safe here. Honestly it was so nice I almost stayed another night instead of getting back on the road. I would definitely stay again.
