    My husband and I decided to take the short trip from Las Vegas to Rhyolite to take our kids to the…read moreout door museum and to see the ghost town. We didn't want to leave our dogs at home so we brought them along too. I thought it would be fun to stay the night in Beaty so we didn't have to rush while in rhyolite. I found this motel online and since it look freshly renovated, modern and dog friendly I knew this was goin to be the perfect spot. Our plans worked out just right. Check in was not until 3pm. So we spent some time in Rhyolite and once the kids and dog were hungry and hot we decided to drive back into town. When we checked into the motel. I was greeted by a very nice young girl. She checked me in and then directed me to our room. Parking was near our door as we were on the bottom floor but tucked away in a small hallway. Right outside of our door was a picnic table and what looked like a potty area for pups. However, our dogs didn't use this area and preferred us to walk them along the backside of the buildings. We weren't sure what we wanted to eat for dinner, but conveniently located in the same parking lot there was a barbecue spot. It worked out great because we were able to walk from our room to the restaurant and they allowed us to bring the dogs. The boys wanted dessert so we were able to walk to a nearby gas station. This motel is in walking distance to basically everything including nightlife. The room was very cozy, clean and the air conditioning worked great. At the time of our stay the Golden Knights were in the playoffs and we were able to watch the game in our room. They also had free Wi-Fi. We did have to ask for extra towels because there were four of us staying in the room. In the morning when we woke up to take the dogs out, we got to see the donkeys walking through the city. Checkout was at 11 which gave us enough time to wake up, pack and grab a snack for the road. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you're driving through Nevada or you're just looking for a day trip to get away from Las Vegas we will definitely be back !

    Didn't go inside, doesn't appear to be open but not sure. Great, funky, cool "under the sea themed…read moreart on exterior of building. I hope to stop by there in my return trip and take some better pictures.

    Had prior reservations for just one night, as we were in town and wanted to visit some sights in…read moreDeath Valley National Park. Plenty of parking at this location, and the woman that checked us in at approx 5pm was very nice and polite. She made sure the room she was checking us into was sufficiently cleaned by housekeeping that afternoon. We picked the ground floor, as it was easier to slip right down the hallway when coming and going. The room was a double, and they are very small. The lighting isn't the greatest, and it makes for a dingy, uninviting looking room. It was clean, and smelled freshly cleaned. The shower was the weirdest shape ever....fit into a corner. Water pressure was good, and the water temp was nice and hot. The coffee bar was not so desirable. Yes, it is free coffee....but slim pickings on the creamer and not a very good setup. Just haphazard and almost like putting a sign out that simply says..."here, coffee". The beds were hard, the pillows to soft and mushy and only two on each bed. Be careful getting into the bed as it will literally slide right off the base. Also, too much noise throughout the night....you can literally hear everything in these rooms. It was pricey for what you get, even with an AARP discount. However, I don't know what other options are in this small town.

    Clean with modern design. Friendly staff, coffee available in lobby. Quiet location and right off…read morethe highway. Very pleased!

    Stayed mid-week in the middle of April 2025, 2 adults, 1 teen, and a dog. Definitely one of the…read morebetter Motel 6's I've stayed at. The only noise I heard outside of my room was an occasional door slamming shut in a nearby room. The place wasn't busy, so I could have just been lucky about the low noise level. The hotel was clean including the elevator and stairwell. There was a strong smell of cleaners in the common areas, but not too much in the room (which I appreciate). The beds were average comfort (not bad by any means, but not great). The room had vinyl floors (big reason I like Motel 6), a decent sized shower tub, a mini-fridge with a freezer shelf inside, a microwave, good air conditioning, a sliding window, blackout curtains, and 1 chair. The TV was rather small for the room (maybe 32"), no closet, no dresser drawers, there's a short clothes rack on the wall with a few hangers, plenty of shelf space to store clothes, no iron, no coffee maker, and no facial tissue. They provide standard toilet paper, bar soap, ice bucket with liner bag, plenty of clean towels, and disposable plastic cups. The town is great and I will be staying here again on my next trip to Death Valley. Ryolite ghost town is really cool (definitely more to it than you see in online videos). The burros roaming the town are very charming. My dog enjoyed the local park. Food options are good (I had Mel's diner, Smokin J's BBQ, and Happy Burro Chili). What really won me over was the people of this town. The locals are very friendly and willing to help if you're in need. After off-roading the previous day in Death Valley, my truck decided to have a pretty nasty suspension failure when I was leaving the next morning. The nearest towing service in Amargosa was booked for the day and couldn't help till the next day. Locals seen my situation and came to the rescue with the tools I didn't have on hand and helped to get me back on the road. I was able to drive home with no tow or expensive repair bill. Thank you Beatty!!!
