    Antique! But pristine clean.

    Round trip passing through Tonopah in December before Christmas. Outbound stayed at a national chain hotel-cold room on arrival, decent, just decent. Return stayed at Belvada; it was charming, heritage-rich, beautiful, inviting staff, warm luxurious room and bathroom with good coffee and amenities. It transformed what was a very difficult trip (personal reasons). The staff welcomed my dog. It is situated right on the main street, fully lit with lots of interests on a walkabout. This IS the gem on that long long drive state to state. Did I mention my last minute reservation was about $50 LESS than the nationwide brand hotel up the street?!

    We were traveling home to Reno from Las Vegas and planned to stay in Tonopah for the night. We knew about the Mizpah Hotel but didn't realize the Belvada opened in 2020. We hadn't been to Tonopah in roughly five years or so. After researching the Belvada's website we decided to stay in one of their King Suite's and appreciated the fact they offered a military/veteran's discount. We were able to make the reservation easily using their website and were excited to stay at this historical property. Upon arriving we walked into the beautiful lobby and were impressed with the furnishings and attention to detail. We were greeted by Edward at the front desk who was friendly, helpful and efficient. The hotel has five stories and the guest rooms are located on floors 2-5 while the lobby and cafe occupy the first floor. We did confirm with Edward that a portion of the basement is going to be a speakeasy which will also be a cool addition! Our room was located on the fourth floor and was decorated tastefully but also had modern conveniences such as a small refrigerator, microwave, TV's and lamps with USB and power outlets. The bathroom was also cute and had huge towels and comfortable guest robes. They also provide lip balm with the provided toiletries. We have never seen that! The bedding was very nice as well and we slept very good. This is a beautiful and restful stay in the middle of the desert. We would highly recommend!

    Great hotel! My room had a microwave, mini fridge and a nespresso machine ! The hotel was clean and even though it is an old building , the rooms feel new with a touch of the Wild West. The bed was so comfortable, I slept straight through the night ! There is no hotel parking , but I parked right behind at the convention center parking lot. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The hotel does not have a bar, so I went across the street to the Mitzpah for a drink. I would definitely stay here again!

    Still baby faced after 112 years.

    We frequently drive between Las Vegas and Reno, and if you're not from Nevada, you probably don't realize that it's a 7 1/2 drive without stops. We typically start early morning (3 a.m.) and go straight through, but this is such a short trip for us, and I had no desire to drive through the night and be miserable the single full day of our trip. I made the executive decision to book a hotel at the halfway point, Tonopah. With the construction and running of a solar power plant north of town, Tonopah has seen a revival, and a slew of new gas stations and hotels have sprung up. Some of these had less expensive options, but I love historical Nevada, and the Belvada is an original from Tonopah's boomtown days. The Belvada was constructed in 1906 and renovated in 2020. Approaching the building right after sunset and seeing it all lit was a new experience for me (I've only seen it in the day!), and the glow seemed to expressed both welcome and pride in the structure. We parked in the gravel lot behind the building marked for the Tonopah convention center and made it a point to enter through the front entrance, though we noted you could enter of the North side of the building and still access the front desk. One important note is that north door has ADA access to the elevator, but there are still stairs to the front desk from either entrance, so checking in for someone in a wheelchair would require accommodations. The reception area has been completely touched up, while preserving the original feel of the hotel. I loved seeing the original cherub lamps all lit up and the classic circular couch that I've only seen in movies and one other hotel that was also over 100 years old. I could also see the coffee shop off the side of the reception area, and later saw that it opened at 6 am. The reception clerk was so nice and must've thought we were quite the crew, as she had to eloquently navigate my 10 year old's questions about hauntings, while simultaneously assuring my 5 year old that there are no ghosts in the building. We took the clean elevator up to our third floor room and noted how the renovations on this floor had joined two previously single rooms to create doubles with two queen beds. Both beds had bedside tables with lamps that feature an outlet and USB port for charging, along with T.V.s and a bench. Above the beds were ceiling air conditioning units that worked incredibly, with a digital thermostat on the wall. There was also a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot, perfect for longer stays. My five year old loved the brass bed frames and declared, "I'm sleeping on a gold bed!" Our bathroom was a good size, but narrow. I brushed my teeth with both kids, finding plenty of room once I pushed them away from the door. It only included a walk-in shower and my husband said it had great pressure, no issues with hot water, and the towels were gigantic, which made him so happy. Our sleep was good, with medium firmness on both the mattress and pillows. The room was very dark, with sunlight blocking curtains, but the A.C., smoke detectors, and T.V.s all had small lights that were a bit jarring in the darkness. Overall we had a short but amazing stay and hope to plan another trip soon and stay at the Belvada for a full weekend, take advantage of Tonopah's starry skies, and write more reviews on the local spots.

    This is the best hotel in Tonopah hands down. I loved the restoration of this hotel and the amenities inside. There's ample of parking outside of the hotel but they also have tons of parking behind the hotel. I always book their king bed and have always stayed at the top floor but have never stayed on any other floor. The room has everything that we need from a microwave, fridge and even an espresso machine. Gotta love that! Thick walls and I can't hear nobody hear us or anybody talking and that's big for us especially with a 18 month old baby. If you're every in this area and need a hotel to stay at, check out Belvada and you wont be disappointed.

    I see a reviewer below stayed here cuz he got a flat tire in the vicinity and needed a place to sleep. Lucky for him! As for us, we planned hitting Tonopah for the express reason that this hotel was ALIVE AGAIN. Dedicated 2 nights of our week off to this place. Ghost towns, hot springs, and long open desolate desert roads are what we seek out and whenever possible we opt for the historic accommodations. Just a few years ago it was a forlorn hulk open to the wind and rain with only wildlife as tenants. Today, thanks to the hearts and capable hands of the owners, and the city that entrusted them, this is absolutely the most awesome vintage hotel I know of. If you have enjoyed vintage hotels such as those in SF (RIP) or Vancouver, or other cities, and have also sought out frontier towns for their period buildings, then you have got to make the Belvada a priority destination - this hotel scratches both of those itches. The renovation has been so well done, the lobby is just stunning, the rooms are airy, bright, spacious, warm and clean, the bathrooms are meticulous, the the views are fantastic... I believe the reopening was just a year ago - December 2020. We were in room 50 looking out to the west over the town's collection of old miner's cabins that sweep up the hillside that twinkled with Christmas lights in the snow. That town has cheer. Thats the room on the website with 2 queens facing each other and no kitchen. In the morning following our first night we took an off-road drive south out of Tonopah toward Alkali Hot Springs (passed on dipping there) and then up over Silver Peak via Coyote Canyon out to the Fish Lake Valley and the hot springs there (fantastic - you gotta go). In most seasons you could safely do it in a two wheel drive vehicle, though the summit was icy slick this time and 4WD was used for only 1000ft. The climb up and the descent is super scenic with grand distant vistas as well as narrow canyons with desert big horn sheep, deer, gray foxes and birds. Then took the highway 6/95 back east to The Belvada. Staff is great. Building is awesome. Towels are fat fluffy things, the beds are excellent, the lip balm was welcome next to the soaps and suds. The lobby coffee bar is very nice, fairly priced and the muffins are exceptional. The in-room coffee, refrigerator and microwave is nice. But those big tall windows afford the best view you can get of Tonopah, Nevada. The owners also own a vineyard, home of Cline winery. There are photos of bottles of wine in the rooms on the website. As I have found such a welcoming amenity in hotels before, and this is the family brand, I mistakenly thought we may find a bottle there to greet us. Not the case. Not even available for purchase. This may be a legal issue / no license or so. Had I known I would have brought a bottle of Cline from our house to enjoy there. They do offer those gorgeous Belvada wine glasses for sale at the reception. We bought some.

    Beautiful hotel. Interior decor is amazing. Rooms are well appointed with nice comfy beds and pillows. Truly gorgeous hotel and staff is super helpful. Only possible add is maybe extra blankets would be a plus in winter! Great spot to stay .

    Live beetle on sheet

    Our last stay, and I mean our "last" stay was in June of 24 and we were stunned at the decline of a hotel we had really enjoy staying at in the past. This was our sixth time staying there. We stayed in the same room each time. I will only talk about the condition of the room although there were other issues. The room looked as if it had not been used for a long time. It was really dirty. Windows had not been washed and had bird poop on them. There was a squashed bug on the wall and live beetle in our bed. A table with a near broken leg and thick dust everywhere. I had to clean the mirror in the bathroom because it was smeared with a white substance. A Cheeto on the carpet was in the middle of the floor. It could have been a room in a flop house but not a flop house rates. We ate across the street in the Pittman Cafe the following morning and toast was extra and the meal was dismal. The evening meal in the Jack Dempsey room was subpar. It had been great in the past. I don't know what has happened at this hotel but the Clines really need to take a serious look at the problems. I am adding to my review just because I looked at other reviews and notice that if you gave less than a four star review the business manager does not respond to criticism. I also refrained from mentioning the front desk person, but not only did we find him surly as another reviewer described his mood but acted as if anything other than taking the key and getting out of his sight was a great transgression. (had to get back to the cell phone) My entire work life has been with the public including nearly 30 years with a major airline. I understand the public and how to make them happy. Not happening here.

    The only reason this place gets a 1 star rating is I thought the museum was cool and the cemetery…read morehad a lot of interesting history. This motel has been featured on paranormal shows and in books as being "haunted". It has that creepy "Devils Rejects" or "The Hills Have Eyes" vibes since you are in a remote area and feels like a group of sketchy locals might be waiting for darkness to strike. When we first arrived there was construction going on in the parking lot that went on until 10pm. That was really annoying. I originally booked room #107 which is one of the most paranormal rooms and basically one of the only reasons I booked months in advance to get it. When I arrived the gentleman at the desk said he was sorry but there was an issue with room #107 and it could not be rented to me. I said told him that was disappointing since I booked this months out. I asked what was wrong with the room. He said there was a leak and could not be rented out. I opted for the 2nd most paranormal room which was #108 (The IT room). The manager gave us a few keys and said check a few rooms out since they were all empty but a couple. I was there for the paranormal accounts so stuck with #108. We took a self tour of the tiny museum. I did enjoy that and bought some merch. The museum had the vibes I was looking for. Creepy and kind clown dolls that have been donated over time. The museum is free and you can make a donation if you wish. I would recommend stopping by the museum. Once we got into the room we noticed cockroach traps in the corners and In the closet. Clearly there was is roach problem at this motel. The room just made me feel itchy and gross. I got no spooky vibes at all, no EMF activity in the room. I pulled out my blacklight and there were gross stains all over the wall, bed, and the toilet was unbearable. Me and my bro decided to sit in the parking lot at 9pm and walk the cemetery in the dark when nobody was there. As we walked outside to tour the cemetery we noticed the room light was on in room #107 and the curtain was cracked. We could see two people on the bed. I was pissed because the manager lied to me and said the room could not be rented out due to a leak, yet two people had checked into it. They probably offered to pay him more and he gave it to them. I did enjoy walking the cemetery and reading about each occupant. We paid our respects and went back to the room. After seeing how disgusting the room was we decided to check out at 10pm. We told the manager the room was too gross and could not stay the night especially with signs of a bug infestation. The manager said he knows the rooms aren't nice and he is sorry. They will not refund you if you choose to leave. They will only refund you if there is a mechanical issue or plumbing issue. I also think that is not good business. We packed our things back in the car and left for another hotel 5 minutes away. It was called the Belvada and was awesome. Also has a haunted past. 1906 Victorian style hotel. I would NOT recommend staying at the Clown Motel. It is worth seeing to go to the museum and cemetery but that's it. Avoid the rooms. I don't believe the rooms are haunted and it's a gimmick to get people to stay in these rundown rooms. I think the reviews where people say they could not stay the night wasn't because of ghosts but because of cockroaches. They need to spend less money on the outside decor and put more money into renovating the rooms. I was very disappointed and hands down worst motel I've ever stayed in!

It's been interesting to read reviews of others who have given the place much higher marks. However, there is a realization here that everyone has a different level of standards. Overall, we want a place that's clean and put together. We did not feel that was the case here. In other words, I could probably say it was about the worst hotel room I ever paid for. To begin with tissues from the previous guest were still behind the bed table. We left them there. The mattress spring covers weren't just dirty. It was stained and filthy. It was obvious with the condition of the way the bed was made and cords that there was no proper training on anything. There was a refrigerator in the room that when opened the ice had such a build up of ice you knew it had never been checked or cleaned. Moving down to the restaurant ..... the ketchup when turned upside down "clumped" to opening and didn't slide like fresh ketchup. The bottles of other toppings appeared to have also been there a mighty long time without being freshened up. Okay .. what did we order? We ordered two hot fudge sundaes. The hot fudge was lukewarm and clumped... After all, what did we expect? The following morning when we stopped by "Registraiton" to drop the keys off, the clerk was sound asleep in his chair. Evidently, he'd been there a bit as other keys were laying on the counter that had also been cropped off. He did look at me and grunt and then went back to sleep.
