What guests think

Esquire Inn is a no-frills, family-run downtown Elko motel praised for very clean rooms, friendly service, and strong value, but repeatedly noted for significant street noise and tight parking that may affect light sleepers and larger vehicles.

Rooms are older but have been refreshed with simple decor and comfortable beds. The downtown location is walkable to restaurants and coffee. Breakfast is a basic continental spread and frequently described as limited. Expect a simple, practical stopover.

Very friendly man at the front desk. Check in was quick. Very few parking spots so get there early. Right on the Main Street, so can be a little noisy but not too bad. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was muffins, cereal, and coffee.

We stayed one night and would absolutely return. We stayed in room #141, top floor King. The bed was SO comfortable and the A/C keep the room nice and comfortable. The parking could be a bit tricky for larger vehicles, but we were able to manage. The best part of our stay...the Owner/Opporator was so nice and helpful! You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his property. Clean, comfortable and convenient. Definitely would stay again!

This was a nice place to stay and the staff was friendly and attentive. The room had everything I needed, was centrally located, and I could park right next to my room. As others have mentioned, the good people of Elko have an infatuation with loud mufflers or perhaps their is a rule prohibiting catalytic converters. Clearly, the police are not enforcing noise ordinances, assuming there are any. I have never heard anything like it, but I carry earplugs so no big deal. I would definitely stay here again.

This place was an older hotel but was updated nicely. It was very clean and quiet. The carpet looked new. The manager, Bob, was friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The fridge had a very nice size freezer for a small fridge. It was a great value. I will definitely stay again.

Both night and day time staff were friendly and accommodating. The TV didn't work and when I wanted to call down to the front desk staff, the phone didn't work, either. In fact, there was no cord attached to it at all!! The room was clean, the bed was perfectly comfortable, and I loved the great lighting in the bathroom. Most hotels lack in their lighting.

Staff was friendly and everything was very clean. The road noise is pretty bad because of the location being right at a stoplight. Even with white noise playing on my phone to try to cover it, the road noise kept me awake half the night.

Great location for walking and exploring, several locally owned restaurants nearby. The two restaurants we tried were excellent. Really enjoyed our stay!

First I was greeted with a friendly smile. So easy to check in. The room was quaint, very clean and the bed was so comfy. After about 12 to 13 hours of driving, this place was exactly what we needed. It is an older place but it is obviously put together we love. Thank you very much for the much needed rest. Last, checked out with that very warm smile. This will be our stop for now on, traveling through Elco. Oh and extremely reasonable rate!

We selected Esquire Inn because of its many positive reviews — and it didn't disappoint. This is a really solid motel option operated by a very friendly and helpful family. While not luxurious, our reasonably priced room had been updated fairly recently and had everything you would expect from a hotel. The owner who greeted us was a delight. We heard some traffic noise at night from Idaho Street, but the location is also very convenient — less than a block from an outstanding coffee place (Cowboy Joe's) and a number of very good restaurant options.

Older style motel but very clean with new carpet an tile in the bathroom. As others have said you experience street noise. Owners/managers are very friendly and accommodating. Parking is tight. Great place to stay when passing through town. I understand but didn’t like the “threatening” sign by the towels. If used for dirty hands or makeup you will be charged. No other cleaning options (like paper or darker hand towel) available.

I felt like I was back in the 70’s. Wish they had separate hair conditioner instead of shampoo/conditioner all in one. Didn’t even consider the breakfast snacks they offer. Went across the street for a latte at Cowboy Cafe and there was a breakfast place next door. It was a fairly reasonable and decent place to stop for the night. Nothing fancy but kind of fun bringing back memories of the 70’s.

Seems to be in walkable downtown area with nearby restaurants, but I’ll be getting back on the road early. If you are looking for the basics, this is a great value! Great find!

The positives: clean, well-maintained, inexpensive, in-town location walkable to main destinations in central Elko. The main negative is, being on the Business Loop of I-80, traffic is audible at all hours. Earplugs recommended. Also, the bath soap is remarkably unsudsy. I would bring my own.

Esquire inn had everything we needed. We have stayed in other hotels in the area with lesser results. It was clean enough for our quick overnight stay. However the breakfast was cereal out of a dispenser or mini muffin, not quite continental. Overall would stay in a pinch

Clean hotel room just as pictured. Quiet except we had the room under the stairs and the stairs and people in the room directly above us were very much heard. I was charged $5.00 more for the room than was quoted from the Hotel App reservation but because it was only $5 I didn’t mention it. Breakfast was strictly bananas, apples, cold cereal, bite size muffins and yogurt. Coffee was also served. Would stay again because it is hard to find a good clean room for around $100.

The building is old but was nicely remodel and clean. The main negative was the breakfast which consisted of 1 only 4 oz activa, one small bowl of dry cereal or instead oatmeal and one mini muffin. Motel would be 100% better off not advertising free breakfast.
