    While we were in Baker, Nevada for just 24 hours you must know that we went to this establishment approximately four times and we stayed at the motel. When in Baker we will be back. The friendly people that work there made us feel at home. We had coffee, we bought some wine, we enjoyed some dinner snacks and some teriyaki dried mushroom jerky. The store was fully stocked and we can't emphasize enough, this was a great place.

    Pleasantly surprised by this little Inn. Was here the first week of December to hunt. I have AT&T cell phone service and had no problems with making calls, sending/receiving texts or with internet (could stream Netflix/Hulu). About 7 miles from reaching Baker, all of our cell phones switched from Pacific to Mountain standard time. I guess we're so close to the Utah border, it jumps a time zone which threw me off. The Inn's office had a Trader Joe's vibe. They have ice for sale outside of the office for $4/bag. You do need a face mask to enter the office. I saw rooms 1-4 were right next to the Inn but didn't see where rooms 5-7 were. Rooms 8-10 are about 1/5 mile down the road behind the 4 pump gas station. We had room 8, which in my opinion is the best one out of the 3. Rooms 9-10 have the beds situated where they share the same wall. The walls are pretty thin so I'm glad that rooms 9-8 have the kitchen/bathroom/closets sharing the same wall. There is a little building next to room 8 that has two bathrooms (with showers) on either side with a laundry room (one washer & dryer) in the middle. There are a handful of RV hookups alongside that building. The bathroom/shower costs 2 bucks to use- via the honor system. The laundry room is coin operated and is a dollar each to wash/dry. The room was waaaay cleaner than I imagined. The shower was clean but the shower head is situated pretty low for anyone 5'5"+. I wiped down all the high touch surfaces and to my surprise nothing was really dirty. I also wiped down the floors expecting to find dust bunnies under the bed, but that wasn't dirty either. The couple in room 9 who came in late the same day we arrived checked out the following morning and shortly after we saw the housekeeper arrive. She wore a mask and seemed thorough with her cleaning regimen which was about an hour. My kid and I were outside playing catch the entire time and talked to her a bit, which is why I know this. That explains why our room was so clean. Props to her. Pets are welcome but have a $20 one-time charge. The room has a wall unit a/c and heater, but there was also a portable heater in the closet. The temp got to below freezing on all the nights we stayed and we stayed warm. Inside of the closet were about 10 hangers, a hanging shelf organizer, along with a broom/dust pan. Plates, cups/mugs, and utensils were available along with silverware, kitchen towels, paper towels, a sponge, hand soap and dish soap. A microwave, toaster, coffee maker and coffee supplies appear to be standard for each room as well. All that was missing was a hair dryer. The water pressure was fine and the water temp gets hot quickly. The water did pool up a little in the shower. The WiFi didn't work at all for us, but the portable WiFi I brought for work purposes worked fine.

    This was such a great treat after camping for almost a week in Utah. James helped us check in and was such a great person to talk to. You could tell he cares about his guests and his inn. He even showed us a map of Great Basin and showed us all the best spots. Five of us got the family suite which consisted of a queen bed, futon, and a private room with a twin. The room was spotless and had a retro feel to it. We were given complimentary protein bars, stickers, and postcards. The inn was so calm and quiet throughout the stay. The next day we walked over to the general store to get some great coffee drinks. Location is under 10 minutes away from the Great Basin visitor center. Thanks for a great stay James and Liz!

    Wonderful place to stay right outside of a beautiful National Park! We visited The Great Basin nat park on a long road trip through Nevada. The Stargazer Inn was my favorite place we stayed along our roadtrip. The rooms were very clean & comfortable. The general store was well stocked & absolutely adorable. The staff and owners were so hospitable & welcoming, (even gave me batteries for my red light, after they already closed for the day) Everything detail here made for a wonderful stay. The outdoor space is also a great bonus with a beautiful view! I highly recommended staying at The Stargazer Inn!

    It has books , ice cream, beverages, wine

    What a lovely place by Great Basin National Park ! It is a convenience store and has an inn. This review is based on the convenient store which also serves beverages, wine, beer, matcha, coffee, hot chocolate and tea, pre packaged food, souvenirs, books, and many more ! Loved the friendly owners who run the place ! It is amazing to find small businesses here in this side of town that's opened in November ! Thanks to the Park Ranger who told us about this place !

    Cute kitty we met at the store!

I`ve been traveling to Ely on and off for the last 20 years and have stayed here and there around town, but decided to try to save a few bucks and stay at Rustin Inn last time. I thought perhaps this was a diamond in the rough. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to a place being "clean". I don`t know. Let's just do a pros and cons list to make this easy. Pros: -Cheap. I paid $55 for a night -Location was on the main road, so it felt relatively safe -Hot shower -Nice owner -Parking right outside your room Cons: -When I arrived, no one was in the office, which is totally fine, but there was a note on the door that had guest names and the rooms they were staying in(directing them to the room number). I don`t love a note with the room I`m staying in to be available for anyone to view -There is a difference between rustic and dingy. I had room 14 and it was okay, definitely had seen better days. My issue was with the cleanliness. The sheets were formerly white but now were a tan color from wear. The pillows were flat and the actual pillows had stains on them. Pillow covers were the same worn color of the sheets. I slept in my hoodie because I didn`t want to lay on the pillows. Random hair(not mine) in the shower and a less than pristine toilet. I know, I know. This is a cheap motel. The front office looks so cute with the lights and homey feel. The motel has a lot of potential, but it needs repair, updated items, and a deep clean. I`ll pass on this place in the future. For $20 you can stay elsewhere that will be cleaner and more comfortable.

It had a king in one room, a queen in the other, and a full pull-out couch in the common area. There was also a kitchenette (mini fridge, microwave, sink, counter and cupboard space). The bathroom was roomy and had a spa tub with jets. We were in the "executive rooms" building across the parking lot from the main building (literally only a 30 foot walk). It is two story and did not have elevators. The couch bed, when folded out, partially blocked one bedroom door and made passing to the other side of it impossible without crawling over the bed, which was unfortunate. It was also a really low-quality, lumpy, springy mattress. But at least we had bed space for everyone. There is only one a/c unit (in the common area) , so to cool the bedrooms you have to keep the doors open. The jetted tub was a really nice surprise. The one jet behind the back was pretty weak, unfortunately, but the other four were good and strong and felt great. Breakfast was good: waffles, biscuits and gravy, cheese omelettes, a variety of cereal, toast, muffins, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt. The juice was really good: real, fresh orange juice instead of the usual watery stuff, and POG juice! There was also a great selection of 8 different teas, all good brands (no Lipton!) which I really enjoyed. The kids loved the pool, which is heated, and the hot tub. It is a chlorine pool. If you have to stay in Ely, this is the place to do it.

So i went outside and booked one online…read more They put us on the 2nd floor in the "executive suites" across the parking lot but failed to mention there is no elevator.

This hotel and gambling hall is located off E. Aultman St. which is also Great Basin Hwy. Out front are a few big sculptures. Parking is free here. I booked the room using Spark.com website. I got a Dlx Dbl Rm 2 Queens for $104.08 x 2 nights + $28.09Tax = $236.15. Breakfast is not included. Our room was on the second floor. I don't think there is an elevator here. We used the stairs. Upon check-in, we were given 2 drink tickets good for 2 Well Drinks from the Prospector Lounge. The room was nice, nicer than I thought it was going to be! It was nice that there was a safe in the room as well as a microwave and a larger mini-fridge. In the room, we were given some candy and earplugs. We didn't need the earplugs. We didn't hear anything going on in the hallway during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well! We stayed here for two nights. If you desire to have some wine in your room, there are two bottle of Wolfgang Puck Wines for purchase. There's an on-site restaurant called Margaritas. It seemed like a cozy place to eat. We saw the steak and decided to give it a try, but we should have opted for a Mexican entrée instead. Maybe it would have been better. The Gambling Hall is the casino. It isn't in a room with a divider or barrier so the smoke is pretty prevalent. I truly felt like I was transported back to before the 1980's when smoking was allowed everywhere! I think smoking is not allowed in the Guest Rooms. I would not hesitate to book another room here again.

I'm a seasoned traveler and I am happy I got to stay here and would stay here again if I ever come up this way.
