Horrible is an understatement

I am not sure what to say. The room was horrible. It was used as a storage room. It had spider webs in window sill. Also, there was paint pan and trash from someone lunch on the table.

The triple room does indeed have three queen beds. One is in a separate 'room' with a closable door. I put room in quotes because you can hardly walk around the bed without awkwardly turning your feet to fit. There is not really dishware as indicated on the hotels.com site and the coffee maker didn't work but there is a working mini fridge. We couldn't find anyone to check out with so we had to use the key Dropbox. The location is convenient. The beds are comfy enough. The shower has great pressure and the hot water gets really hot (and stays that way through the whole family's showers) and the cold water is refreshingly cold even in the heat of summer.

Smelly

Made a reservation weeks in advance for a room with a king bed. They only had a queen bed when we checked in, because he “didn’t know we were coming”. He was very nice and apologetic about it, but still annoying. Room smelled like cat pee and cigarettes, even after leaving the windows open for hours. Dirty old tub. No way I’d use the coffee machine. Uncomfortable saggy bed. For $60 you can’t expect much. If it weren’t for the smell, and the downgraded room, I’d give a better review.

Checked in and was taken to the room with the 3 beds as there were 3 of us. The clerk unlocked the room. Did not give us a key - no way to even lock the door. The smell was terrible. Did not feel safe so we just left and slept in our trucks. Did not feel safe staying there

Too much for too little.

My carpet was filthy. Electrical outlets were 2 prongs. Bathtub did not drain. Old facility unusual decorations - that's the least of the place. Adjacent units were long-term rentals for laborers. Noisy neighbors. Funky is acceptable if the price is cheap, then at least you are getting what u paid for. I've paid less in Wells NV for better. Quite pricey considering the quality.

Choose somewhere else.... honestly thankful I didnt get billed and didnt have to stay there. Had an Expedia reservation and when we got there the office was unstaffed and nobody answered the buzzer. Called Expedia and they woke the guy up.... he came out annoyed with belt undone and no shirt.... very annoyed I had interrupted his sleep... said they didnt have any rooms and my reservation was a mistake... (pretty sure Expedia stops booking the second a property notifies them they are full). Next Expedia hotel looked like 2-3 hours further down the road but we found a room about an hour away.

Just say no

We stopped at the "Great Basin Inn" on our way to Yosemite, and it's perhaps the WORST place I've stayed in, here in the States. There was perhaps one worse in Europe, but it didn't pretend to be anything more than a Hostel. The AC in the Great Basin Inn would turn on with a clank, followed by a rattle, making it impossible to sleep. It was impossible to sleep if we turned the AC off, so we finally just got up early and left. No doubt it was a room designed for 1 bed or possibly 2 full sized beds, but they had managed to squeeze in two queen beds, but they were so close together that it was almost impossible to get past. I don't know how the place ended up with 2 stars, except that the shower was hot and the towels and sheets seemed clean.

i left an expensive pillow there with a handmade pillow case. I called them a few hours after I left and asked them to look for it. They didn't offer to go check at that time. I called a few days later on our return trip and they said they never saw it. I was very upset to say the lest.

No no no

We were warned not to smoke in room because if the maid could smell it we would be charged $250. When we tried to turn on the tv, my hand ran into a black widow spider web...and subsequently killed it. The tv never did work even after calling the mgr. The bathtub was filthy. The ceiling had unrepaired water damage. The beds were comfy. The ONLY good part.

Safe and convenience

This place is well maintained, clean and tidy, plus the staff makes sure that you have everything you need (towels, soaps, coffees) and will clean your room on daily basis. It's very convenience to everywhere (downtown, stores, restaurants). People are nice and helpful that's why I always feel safe everywhere in here.

The bathroom was old and filthy

The room was newly painted and the bed was O.K. however the bathroom was filthy, The shower water temp could not be controlled and was stuck in one position only, there also was a bathtub that was filthy, and the only mirror was a medicine cabinet, there also was a shelf that was half broken so anything that was put on it fell off. there was one electrical outlet on the light over the medicine cabinet.
