I've stayed here twice now as a one-night stop en route to my final destination and will stay here again. Although the rooms are showing their age, they have been kept up well. Overall, I've gotten what I wanted, that is a clean bed and a clean bath. Bonus points for a strong wi-fi.

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.

No idea how they have an 8.2 rating. Bathroom wasn’t clean. Wifi was terrible. Girl at front desk didn’t seem to care. We had to go find a stopper for the tub to have a bath. Breakfast was laughable. No cereal or fruit. Rating should be a 3 at best.

Since we arrived late we received a message and our key was in our door. Upon getting to a room, we noticed stain on the bed and no toilet paper. They called the number on their message and someone came down to the office right away to change our room. Motel is dated. 65$ I didn’t expect the Taj Mahal. Lots of stairs. I probably will not stay there again.
