A motel in Elko
Centre Motel is a 2-star motel in Elko, Nevada, rated 4.3/5 across 46 guest reviews.

Every room has air conditioning, soundproofing, a coffee machine, and views of the pool, mountains, or city.
Who this stay suits
A no-frills motel with a pool, solid room basics, free parking, and pet-friendly options at a fair price point.
Best for
- Road trippers passing through Nevada
- Pet owners needing flexible accommodation
- Drivers wanting free on-site parking
- Budget-conscious travellers in Elko
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting on-site dining
- Those wanting a full-service hotel experience
The pool and outdoor space
The swimming pool is the main communal draw. Several room categories look directly onto it, so you get the view without walking far. It's a practical plus in Elko's dry Nevada heat.
Views from the rooms
Depending on the room, windows face the pool, the surrounding mountains, or the city. The mountain views are a genuine backdrop given Elko's setting in northeastern Nevada, not a marketing stretch.
Pet-friendly rooms
Two room types are designated pet-friendly: a 30 m² queen room and a 34 m² twin-queen room. Both have the same full room setup as the standard categories, so travelling with a pet costs you nothing in comfort.

“Nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and friendly staff. This is an older seasoned motel right in the middle of town. Good value.”
“Room wasn't the cleanest. We ended up sleeping in sleeping bags on the bed instead of using the sheets, plus the room was cold.”
“Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There were good breakfast options. I like being able to make my own waffles. The price was good too.”
“Staying at the Thunderbird renewed my appreciation for family owned and operated motels. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall cleanliness and comfort of the room.”
“Breakfast wasn't tempting but lots of restaurants nearby. Decor a bit dated but it is a quiet town.”
