Border Inn Casino

We stayed here to be close to Great Basin N. P. The motel rooms are dated, as others have noted. However, they were VERY clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff were super friendly and very accommodating with all requests. There aren't many restaurant choices near Baker, but that was OK because the restaurant here is good. We ate here 4 nights in a row and were very happy with everything we ordered. They make alot of things from scratch and even grind their own hamburger meat. There is also a small convenience store. This place is a solid choice for visiting Great Basin.

TL;DR: A guest was given a key to my locked room at 2–2:30 a.m. while I was asleep, and they entered my room. The only acknowledgment I received on-site was a quick “sorry about that,” and management has not responded to my detailed email sent on Nov 14. It is now Nov 30 with no reply. Until proper training and lock/security procedures are addressed, I cannot recommend staying here. I stayed at the Border Inn on Nov 7–8 in Room 9. Around 2:00–2:30 a.m., while my partner and I were asleep, someone was given a key to our locked room and walked in on us. We woke up suddenly as this person opened the door and stepped inside. Thankfully, they exited immediately once they realized the room was occupied, but it was an incredibly frightening and unsafe experience. After this incident, neither of us could fall back asleep due to the anxiety and vulnerability we felt. When I reported what happened during checkout, the employee simply said “sorry about that” and did not seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation. Later that morning, another employee encouraged me to email management with the details, which I did on November 14. It is now well past that date, and I have received no response at all — no apology, no explanation, no indication that the issue is being addressed, and no acknowledgment of this significant breach of guest safety. I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels and motels around the world, and I understand that mistakes can happen. However, most properties have a secondary privacy lock that cannot be overridden from the outside. The absence of such a lock here made what happened possible. Accident or not, no guest should ever have their room accessed by someone else at any point. This points to serious issues with staff training and/or room key control. Combined with the complete lack of follow-up from management, I cannot in good conscience recommend staying at this property. Unless the Border Inn improves its security procedures, retrains staff, and ensures that room access is handled safely and correctly, I would strongly advise others to stay elsewhere for their own peace of mind.

Friendly Staff, easy check in, great size room. Mini fridge & microwave. Comfy bed and great water pressure in the shower. My only concern was the hole in the ceiling! Was there a camera up there? I didn’t feel comfortable. I told them about it and said I would be out hiking all day. Would they please cover it atleast with some duct tape, and they did not. Disappointed. Ordered a breakfast burrito on site restaurant. It was huge & delicious!!!|I would stay here over any place in Baker. Only 17min drive to Great Basin NP! Gas station on site as well.

I stay in a motel almost every night and this was not worth it! I understand its one of the only things available that far out but had I known, Baker has a handful of Airbnb that are probably better option for the price, I would have went there but cant cancel if you book through the website. The price is way high considering a Motel 6 offers tv's, a room you dont have to heat with a plug in space heater and most of the time a small breakfast. Everything about this place is just old and someone could really make it a destination if they cared to do so. And online it says theres a tv and if you ask about it, all they say is no tv. Not any reason for there being no tv, just no tv. Dont expect a free cup of coffee in the morning either, even if you spend $500 in fuel. Its the little things when you stay in motel as much as I dont and the little things would change it to great stay! But the bed was really comfortable in room 9, the views are amazing, staff is friendly.

This is the only lodging option near Great Basin NP. Clean and spacious room. I love the retro-style microwave and was intrigued by the hand soap stored in a take out bowl. Check-in is done in the restaurant/casino. Food was a better than expected. Don’t forget to stamp your US50 passport as a part of unique Nevada experience!

The casino (and store?) is open 24/7 but the restuarant closes at 10PM. There are no other amenities within miles of the inn, although it does also sell gas. The rooms are clean and quiet with hot showers.

We stayed at the RV park. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice and helpful - he told us which sites were available and said to go pick one. He gave us a heads up that one of the sites had to share the water faucet (they had a splitter on it) because the one for the site was broken. Sites were pull-thru, utilities worked. Close to Great Basin National Park.

As others say, not many places to stay near Great Basin NP. The motel room was clean but in need of updates. It was quiet and not far from the park. They have a little store that we purchased ice from. The gas was over a dollar per gallon more so make sure you have gas. It was maybe 100 miles on highway 50 travelling through Utah with no services. Ely is the closest place that we found for more reasonable gas prices. The lady, Laura, that checked us in was very nice. This is not a casino per se just some non-paying slot machines (in our experience). The reason we stayed 2 nights was for the purpose of a night sky program at Great Basin NP. It rained the night we were there and although they had the program we did not go.

Stay somewhere else. Woman (Alex) "check in manager" had serious attitude problem. Place was nearly empty had plenty of rooms ready, I had reserved two rooms ahead of time and she refused to let me and my 80 year old step father check in early at 1:30 pm. She then proceeded to ridicule me to other employees Just for asking. Very unprofessional and rude. Other staff were reasonable and polite. The gentleman checked us in at 2pm. Rooms are dated, No tv, 10 am check out, no cancelation, expensive gas, Water stains on ceiling, springy beds. Drove to another restaurant to eat because she was so rude to us, rather give the business elsewhere. I recommend getting food and fuel in the town of Baker 10min away. Wish I would have paid a lil bit more and stayed there as well.

Friendly staff, good food and drinks. The motel rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. The casino has slots and video poker, no table games. There is an RV park, gas station and convenience store.

This place is NOT in Baxter...on highway leading to Baxter. Arrived June 11th, 92 F outside...80 F in room, poorly working window AC unit mounted in wall. NO TV.They will not let you check in until EXACTLY 3 pm, though check out is 10 am. next to highway. Not sure why I gave them such a high rating. can't wait for tomorrow......leave this place avoid this place! Try and forget about it. AVOID this place, drive a few more miles into Baxter....plenty of options there

Where do I begin.... first off its the only option around and they are quite aware of that. The property should be condemned, the room me and my family stayed in was musty and damp smelling, I looked for the problem and found mold inside the cabinet and in the carpet the moisture was clearly coming from the toilet. I would avoid this at all cost and make other plans.

My friend and I are on a 2-week road trip and initially stopped here for a quick shower! The amenities were awesome, and the staff is super nice! The showers were warm and clean. We decided to stay longer and enjoy a nice meal at the restaurant. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience and occasionally checked in on us and chatted with us about our road trip. For 2 young girls traveling, it is always hard to find places to feel safe, but this is DEFINITELY a safe space for anyone! The Border Inn is a beautiful hidden oasis, and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Great Basin National Park or driving through the area.

I found the food very delicious. Having gone there twice for lunch, I ate a cheeseburger both times because it was very delicious. There is quite a bit of seating with some pretty awesome decorations. I loved the lighting which was big wagon wheels with old lanterns attached to it. Our waiter was this nice young lad, very friendly and very kind. He was helpful on figuring out what to eat A place I would come back to when I am in town again.

Great place to stay when you're traveling US 50 and/or visiting Great Basin National Park. If you think borders are cool, it's interesting to note that the rooms are in Utah while the store, restaurant and casino are in Nevada. Staff were all super friendly. The food in the restaurant was pretty good. We would stay here again.

As someone working in the area on a temp gig, this place has been a God-send I visit nearly daily. Tammy and Dawn need a raise, their service is exemplary. For the restaurant, you need to try their veggie cheese quesedillas. They hit the spot Their onion rings are the best As to the slots, they're not too bad. I've seen better and worse A short list of amenities this one stop shop has; Gas Diesel EV charging C-store with alcohol, tobacco, snacks and gift items. Lots of gift items. Also has a small selection of frozen and non perishable food Fill up here even at the higher cost; next gas is 88 miles away! Motel with basic rooms I have yet to stay in RV park with tent sites and full hookups as well. Not sure if 30 or 50 amp Laundromat and showers A full on casino with slots galore Arcade Bar Restaurant Blazing fast WiFi Books and DVDs for sale (Formerly) a propane exchange (Formerly) 2 payphones with no dial tone (Formerly) a public computer And they have a conference room incase you find yourself wanting to hold a convention in the middle of nowhere All in all, this place has become my second home.

It's in the middle of nowhere making the Border Inn an essential stop. Gas up, rest, stay a night, or even grab a bite. They got you covered and you pretty have no other choice for miles. We parked at one of their full hookup sites for the convenience. However, they do have a dump station and you are allowed to boondock out front for free. The free length is unknown so please reach out to them for details. I would think for most, they would leave the following day on to their next destination. I truly appreciated the gas station given my truck is midsized with a small gas tank. It be wise to bring a gas can as I was in a situation where I nearly ran down to empty. I recommend if you are among these parts.

Everything about this place is low and and very high $$ for the value and the service. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're desperate!

My boyfriend and I stayed here overnight when visiting Great Basin National Park. The place is perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay. We felt very safe and the people were super friendly. Given that they are out in the middle of desert, they had everything we needed to have a nice stay without driving far out of the way to get it. Some of the things in the convenience store are more expensive than in the city, but it's not easy to ship all of that stuff out here in the first place so all I would say is bring your own oreos haha. They have a restaurant that is open from 6am to 10pm nightly, they have a gas station, rooms, slots, pool, an arcade and a bar. We never had to stress about whether they had something because it was a one stop shop and it was super convenient. Travel a few miles out of the way and you could even go stargazing. When my boyfriends key batteries stopped working they had batteries and we did not have to stress out too much. The prices are very fair and I never felt like I was being gouged. I would 100% stay here again.

There really isn't much around here so you'll probably end up having to eat here, but if you can avoid it, you should. They were out of half of what was on the menu, and what we actually ended up with was pretty bad - soggy, tasteless, and obviously from a freezer. The 'casino' is a few rows of video slots and the regulars give you the full-on hairy eyeball as you walk in. It was something to remember, that's for sure, a good story for our trip to Great Basin National Park, but not in a good way!

Simple but clean. Everything I needed, but NO TV! There was Wi-Fi, so I dealt with it. Nice microwave and mini fridge.

I have had Horrible service every single time I have driven by and made a pit stop. Horrible Attitudes. just do not expect good customer service.

We stopped in on a trip in March 23. The casino section was so dark you couldn't see your way through to find the restroom. Even after your eyes adjusted from coming in from outside it was still way dark. I went to buy a drink at the bar and couldn't tell what money I had in my wallet because it was SO F'in DARK! Apparently the owner turned off the lights to save money. The casino was only lit by the gambling machine lights. This is dangerous and probably illegal. Other than that it was understaffed by overworked people who just wanted to go home.

This is a private owned business off Hwy 50, loneliest highway ever. They have just about everything you will need. A good nights rest in a clean room, and good food. With some of the friendliest service around. Their room rates are reasonable and you can fuel up on the spot with Phillips 66. This place is ideal for hikers visiting the Great Basin, or just stopping for a rest stop, and a bite.

Great location to be in driving distance of some amazing historic spots. We went caving, to some natural hot springs, hhikingike to a glacier... The amazing thing was the night sky. First time I ever saw the milky way... What an amazing experience

We stopped overnight before heading down the loneliest road. It was very easy in and out. The RV park is clean and quiet. Thank you for the nice stay.

A lifesaver in the middle of no where. It was a night little place. I stayed at the hotel. They had semi parking which was one of the reason why I picked the place. The funny thing is, I parked my truck at the UT Stateline and walked over to Nevada where I slept at the hotel. There was two sweet ole ladies that was at the counter to check me in. It was a really interesting place. For the hotel being out of no where the room was reasonable. Charge me $84 plus tax. The room is not some 5 star fancy hotel but it was nice. Clean room, comfy bed. I slept all night like a baby all night. The shower was great with a nice hot shower. Over all the room was great. Next day, I woke up and had breakfast at the restaurant attached to the place. Breakfast was nice, I had an Denver Ouellette. Also food was served very quickly probably was due to the place being slow. I had breakfast at 6am. The hotel also is pet friendly with a pet fee of $10 a night. Overall, I would stoop here again if I was in the area. Nice friendly customer service and clean place. A one stop shop for all your traveling needs.

In my opinion, The Border Inn and the surrounding area is the unofficial start to Route 50 - The Loneliest Road in America - 400 desolate miles through the middle of nowhere of the desert across the entire state of Nevada. I actually planned a weeklong journey beginning here right on the borderline of Utah and Nevada and Great Basin National Park while eventually ending in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area. What I liked most about this place is that it's a straightforward and quiet roadside stop. When I arrived here over the summertime this past July....I would basically describe The Border Inn as a gas station that offers supplies and basic necessities. Yet I didn't realize until I came upon here, that it's also a hotel/motel for the weary travelers. Huh....who woulda thought that? And....they also feature a casual restaurant including a small section for slot machines. Upon spending my 2nd day at Great Basin National Park, since there were few limited options on where to eat for dinner, I did return just a short ways back here to The Border Inn to sit down for a simple home cooked meal. Though, I never spent a night at the motel. For anyone that cares, I spent 2 evenings at the Whispering Elms Motel and RV Park in Baker (which I highly appreciated). Quick facts....... When I first pulled in to The Border Inn....literally being on the border of 2 states, I grabbed a photo of the "Welcome to Utah" sign and then turned around and took a photo of myself at the "Welcome to Nevada" sign! Lol...these type of landmarks are right up my alley, hehehe. Also...I stood in the middle of the road....and felt a true essence of what they meant saying this is the beginning of The Loneliest Road.... I mean, anywhere I looked, it's visually one straightforward road in and out of this place. The desert landscape was such a recognizable aspect when I gazed at the surroundings. I did grab a quick picture sitting in the middle of the road as I peered out into the desert abyss. Inside The Border Inn gas station...(I had read about this prior to venturing out here)...I picked up my Loneliest Road in America "Survival Guide" - a little booklet for my expedition across the state of Nevada. The purpose of this guide is sort of a playful and unique way to experience this ultimate roadtrip. In each of the 8 cities you pass through along The Loneliest Road, you can get your booklet stamped stating you made it through each of the historic towns along the 400 miles. Actually, you only need to get 5 of 8 towns to stamp your booklet. When all is said and done...mail in your survival guide and the Governor of Nevada will send you a complimentary certificate signifying you "Survived The Loneliest Road in America"! How cool! I did this and received my certificate and hung it up in a plaque on my wall. So....for those interested, here at The Border Inn....grab your free Survival Guide. I'd like to mention just the atmosphere and vibe I got when I arrived here. I'd say it was like being so far away from reality. Like being secluded from everything, and yet here I was....at a gas stop, w/ a diner, and motel surrounded by the scowling heat from the desert sun. It almost felt movie-esque. I liked it, even if I was only here for a short period of time. Since I did return for dinner, let me briefly describe my experience... The restaurant was very similar to just a blue collar diner, with tables and chairs, nothing fancy...just your old fashioned - all American type of place and setting featuring hearty comfort food. The menu had soups and salads, hamburgers, sandwiches (hot and cold), dinner plates like chicken fried steak w/ gravy, hamburger steak, ham steak, fried chicken, pork chops, shrimp and lasagna. I had the chicken breast covered in BBQ sauce - for $12.25. This came w/ a salad for a starter and with my meal I got a baked potato and dinner roll. Overall, the meal was basic and simple, yet just what I expected. Nothing fancy. The salad was fresh. I got 2 chicken breast pieces and the baked potato and dinner roll were standard - just fine for me. So I liked the restaurant. It was nothing over the top and a fine way to end my time after exploring Great Basin NP. Finally, my lasting impressions from The Border Inn and what I'll remember.... It was a cool and distinctive place to stop while I scouted out the area. I got to admire where I was and how far I traveled to get here. Even for just getting out and stretching your legs, I recommend to everyone to make a pit-stop here, whether to get gas, snacks and supplies, have a meal at the restaurant or spend overnight at the motel. I'm a fan.

This is a quaint motel, cafe, and casino on Route 50, the loneliest road in the U.S. Very clean with a microwave and refrigerator. The cafe had great service and the food was terrific diner fare with generous portions at reasonable prices. The location is convenient to the beautiful Great Basin National Park. At night the park is a stargazers dream, a certified dark sky location.

An oasis in a remote area! Clean, great service, reasonable prices and fresh food with a large menu in the sit down restaurant. Bar food good too. We stayed in an RV spot. Level and full services. Trying breakfast tomorrow.

The Taj Mahal it is not, but if you are looking for a very clean place to lay your head for the night, then this is the place!! The have a 24 restaurant with diner food. We would definitely come back here!!!

Clean and comfortable. For the middle of nowhere, this place is great. The rooms are cozy, and the food hit the spot and had good service.

After a long and hot motorcycle ride through Utah, this place is literally an oasis! Store and gas station is in Utah. Walk through the connecting door into the small bar/casino and you are in Nevada! Hence, the Border Inn!! Fun and quirky place with bery friendly staff and local clientele. Had a great time!!

This review is for the gas station only. We have stopped here a couple of times on our way East on US 50 from Nevada. I think my four stars are mostly for the fact that it is there, in the middle of nowhere, perched smack dab on the border of Utah and Nevada. The gas station section is in Utah, the Inn and I assume the casino are in Nevada. There is an RV Park, motel, restaurant, gas station and casino. A convenient one stop place. For my needs, having gas, using my card at the machine with no problems, a clean squeegee and wash water make me a happy camper. The prices are a few cents cheaper than in Baker, but more expensive than in Ely. It also gives one peace of mind before heading out for the 80+ mile drive through some of the most desolate, suprisingly beuatiful expanse of nothingness. They are not kidding you. There is NOTHING util you hit Delta. So yea, I'm a fan.

A dump, albeit a clean dump. Wifi does not work at all. never got a connection in two days. We asked and were told "we have trouble getting a signal out to the rooms". Really? Yet you advertise free wifi. The wifi didn't work in the restaurant, either. A/C in the room is incredibly loud. Our room key only worked when inserted 'just so', something the non-English comprehending person at the register failed to tell us (we had to get the maintenance(?) guy show us the trick). Queen bed is a bit uncomfortable but YMMV. Check-in is bizarre. You have to go the convenience store register, which means you're holding up store customers while you fill out all the motel registration crap. Cafe is open at 6 AM, a plus. Coffee is available at the store 24/7. Everyone is grumpy. This might be the best choice in Baker (although the motel is actually four miles away from town on the Utah border), but they still get a low rating because of the issues, particularly the wifi. I don't like being cheated and advertising something you clearly can't provide is cheating your customers.

It might not look like much on the outside, but the restaurant at the Border Inn was really a great stop. The waitress who helped us (I didn't get her name but she had an accent) was really friendly. They have a full menu complete with desserts like pies and fried Oreos or ice cream. I had the patty melt while the rest of my family went for a few of their burgers. All of us really enjoyed the food and would recommend to any travelers looking for food in pretty much the middle of nowhere! If you visit the Lehman caves, this is a must stop for a good lunch after your tour!

It's not a 5-star restaurant, but it doesn't try to be. It's literally a place in the middle of the West Desert that has almost anything you need, albeit at a price. I always stop here on my way out west, about 3x a year. I've never felt anyone was rude to us, and though sometimes it takes some time I don't mind. What's the possible rush, anyway? Either you're going to the park or headed to Ely. For the first time in my dozen-plus times here I sat at the bar, ordered a bloody (excellent) and had some breakfast. The veggie omelette was awesome, and it came with two huge sides. Honestly, I was surprised at how good it was. The bloody didn't have a ton of garnishments but who really cares? I met a new 80 year old friend and besides the smoking indoors, I love this place! P.s. Don't buy the shitty bourbon (normally a "duh," moment but options are limited). In a crunch my husband bought some because we forgot our liquor and we both had hangovers for two days.

Train wreck. After being turned down by the only other two restaurants in town (apparently a party of 11 in Baker, NV is too big) we ended up here. Probably in the top 5 worst dining experiences in my life. In a deserted place it seemed strange to wait so long to order. It then seemed strange to wait so long for water. It then seemed strange to wait so long for our food. It then seemed strange when they brought out some food and then said, whoops this wasn't for your table and took it away. Fortunately for my quick acting teenage son without manners he had started eating before they could take his plate back. So we all watched him eat and continued to wait for much too long...so long that he had finished eating. The food was your basic Sysco specials, with no thought to even try and improve it. After the long wait nothing was even hot. Stuff that should have been crispy was soggy. I am really confused how this place rates so well. If only we weren't hostages to the last place in town willing to serve us. If only the one hipster spot in town could feed more then 22 people at a time. If only we hadn't decided to just buy hot pockets at the gas station and heat them up in our hotel room microwave.

Rude! Rude! Rude! I stopped in to take a shower and do some laundry and wanted to plug in for a few hours... I asked if there was potential for a pro-rated rate (since I wouldn't be staying overnight), and he took $5 off, begrudgingly. Fine. Then I went into the laundry room, and one of the machines was broken. I asked the staff if I could use the one that said "hotel laundry" (in Spanish), she said yes, "just pay inside". Cool. 10 minutes later the old woman that owns the place came out and said that I owed her $10. Sure no problem. Then she said that the girls said that they told me that I can't use it (even though she doesn't speak Spanish & they were probably afraid of losing their jobs) and then said that I'm a liar. Really? A liar? Over laundry? I don't think so lady. It wouldn't serve me any purpose. It's not about the ten dollars. It's about her rude, racist, white lady bigot attitude. Do yourself a favor and drive past.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and glad we did. Laura was very enviting and friendly, fries are awsome bacon dbl cheese was perfect size and very good and the pair was more than enough to fill ya up. Bathrooms were clean just a well kept place in the middle of nowhere will be back for sure

Perfect. The view you wake up to is a perfect mix of kitschy and the beautiful West. Cleaner then I could have dreamed of, the staff were so friendly and the inn's restaurant food was fast, cheap and tasty. You get what you pay for, this is absolutely a low cost roadside motel, but it served beyond its purpose with 24/hr service and amenities. I never felt unsafe. A perfect roadside oasis in the middle of the loneliest place in America. DOG FRIENDLY. For reference, I bought a t-shirt.

For the price and the fact that it is the only hotel available if you want to stay near Great Basin NP, this place is not that bad. At least the rooms were clean and quite. If you do have to stay here, bring a movie because you won't be able to get wifi, not even in the main building. There was a TV in the room, but half the time it said "signal not available", and it would cut out right in the middle of a show. Bring your own coffee pot and hair dryer because they don't provide those either. I didn't check out restaurant because it is in the same building as the casino and it was too smokey. Cigarette smoke would have ruined any meal for me. Also the bed was very hard, not comfortable at all.

The food here was excellent- so good I came back for seconds. Large portions. My husband had an omelette and it was amazing. I had a chicken quesadilla, they make homemade salsa, it was fantastic.

If you're in the neighborhood, you've got to check this place out! It's not often that I rave about homemade soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, but these guys know how to make it happen. And since they really are the only real good place to eat for 80 miles, I was happy that their prices were not totally outrageous. No matter where you are going, make sure you gas up here before moving forward, as this place is truly in the middle of nowhere. With that said, they have just about everything you would need to eat, sleep, and have a little fun.

Ok so it's not the Ritz. It's clean and is a great rest stop. I'm rving it. Good value. 50 amps and full hook ups. They're having trouble with their Internet provider so no WiFi on this visit . My Verizon jet pack didn't work either. My phone does though. Go figure.

Good place to go..food is good, the people are nice. Great Basin National park, Leman caves are close..

This hotel was affordable but the room was out dated. It was clean but we did have to kill 3 spiders off the ceiling which made there way in at night time....the restaurant food was amazing but the staff was unpleasant and couldn't answer any questions. They acted like you were bothering them just by ordering food. One of the girls asked me what I wanted to drink and when I asked her what kind of beer they had she replied "I don't know but you can go to the bar and find out yourself." I then asked about a wrap and all I got was a sequence of i don't knows....she continued to walk away while talking to her... our phone didn't work in our room and when we brought it up in conversation the staff just didn't seem to care much about anything. ..next time we will just go to the hotel near the park.

Let me first say this rating in relative to the fact that it's located in Baker, Nevada, a town with a population of 56. Choices aren't exactly abundant. We were staying in Baker to hike at Great Basin National Park. If you're hoping to find a luxury hotel or cutesy bed and breakfast on Highway 50 you're severely naive. If you're going through and need a place to stay for the night the Border Inn is your cheapest and easiest bet considering it's also a restaurant/gas station/convenience store/bar/casino. Our room was beautifully furnished: wood paneled walls, a VCR, an incredibly vintage mustard yellow toilet, sink, AND shower, and to top it off a gloriously majestic bald eagle painting above the bed. All sarcasm aside, this place got the job done. The room was clean, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, and all the employees are incredibly friendly. We were very happy with our stay.

First let me say that out of all the "Middle of Nowhere" places we have stayed, this one was certainly the best. My husband and I stayed there this past weekend. I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating this place was. Needless to say, we were expecting the worst. Check in was very quick. Showers had ample amount of hot water and were very clean. The mini mart is 24 hours, food was served until 11ish, and the bar was open until 2am, which is super convenient and unheard of in most areas of Utah. The "casino" had loose slots. Very low payouts (we're from Vegas) however we won 60-80 bucks on each machine we put a 20 in. All in all, the food was decent, the rooms are standard, service was spectacular, and the location is great. Most proprietors in Utah are very UNinviting, which has always surprised me since their incomes depend on tourists. This place couldn't be more opposite than that. Everyone was really nice, welcoming, and helpful. Especially the guy with the super Mario bros mustache, He was pretty kick a$$! I am looking forward to our next Great Basin trip and we will DEFINITELY be staying here again. Thanks for the hospitality guys!

All in all, a good place with your hunting pals to stay. Restaurant is probably the best part. The room's beds were really soft and worn out (I may have slept on the bed with my mummy bag), but yet the room was "clean." Lol, fire extinguisher was not charged, but I'm pretty sure I could have kicked through any part of the building if there was a fire. The people and service are probably the best part. That's what makes this 3 stars.

Given the very limited dining choices in Baker, NV, the Border Inn is a good place to dine. Hands down it has the larges menu of items to choose from but don't expect anything that won't clog your arteries. Service was prompt and friendly.

I spent a night here and overall was a satisfied customer. Keep in mind, this 4 star review is relative to the fact that you are in Baker, NV which is in the middle of no-where and there are very little options. When I come back to the area, I would certainly stay again. The store, restaurant, and casino are in Nevada. The gas pumps and hotel rooms are in Utah. Kind of cool to walk from my room in Utah across the parking lot to the store in Nevada. The rooms were very basic, but adequate.. again considering the surroundings. Bed was not particularly comfortable but the room was clean. The store was open 24 hours, which is great considering that there is nothing else 60 miles in either direction on 50. Selection of products was decent. The restaurant, had dinner and breakfast. Dinner was quite subpar and bland, but breakfast was very good. French toast and hash browns hit the spot! The casino, slots were loose. My wife and I played a little bit on the slots and ended up getting enough to pay for our room, our meals, and gas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great Basin Park is a nice place to get away from everything and at Border Inn, everything you need is conveniently in one spot. The biggest downfall for me was the very poor wi-fi service. But I guess that is expected when you are this far from civilization.

As noted by other reviewers, The Border Inn is in the middle of nowhere. Literally. Either stay/eat there or drive 75 miles to Ely, Nevada, or Delta, Utah. (Ely is a metropolis compared to Delta). The Border Inn is about 10 miles from Great Basin Nat'l Park. The restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. Good portions. It's a typical American menu. You're not going to find sushi, avocados or alfalfa sprouts here. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. There's a well-stocked convenience store. The room was another story. WiFi didn't work in the room (but did in the restaurant). The fridge didn't work. The CRT style TV worked but only received a few channels. The furniture was really, really beat up, and should've been replaced long ago, although the bed was comfortable. The room was very dark because of the 'walnut' paneling (also beat up) and because the ceiling fixtures in the bedroom and bathroom had only one working lightbulb. The table lamps on the nightstands must've been garage sale rejects. There was 1 wire coat hanger. restaurant and staff = 5 stars; room = 1 star

Motel, Gas Station, Slots, Restaurant, convienence store, gift shop. In this desert this place has most amenities. The food is American and pretty good, open for more time than any other place around. Watch out for events too, you may visit Great Basin National Park during a beer or wine tasting or other fun event. Great Basin Beer Tasting June 20, $25, with a take home pint glass, is a fund raiser for the Great Basin Water Network. Or the Halloween Party.

For the restaurant only, as we did Not stay here and only came for the food. Charles rocks!!! Try his bacon cheeseburger soup if he has some ready

We ate dinner at the Border Inn restaurant; we did not stay at the motel. The food was good but very heavy. We ate here twice because there were no other options. Food, cost, and service were all good enough. If back in the area may have to stay in the truck stop motel.

I previously read reviews for the border in and they were not great but now I'd know those reviews were wrong. I did not stay at the motel but did stop for gas and have lunch. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The motel looked small but I probably would stay there if visiting the great basin national park again.

Thank you Border Inn, we love staying here. We have stayed here many times and are thankful the Border Inn is here. Yes, this is located on the the "loneliest road in America" highway 50, it's not the Hilton. The Border Inn is friendly, clean and the food is good. A great place to stay when you are visiting Great Basin National Park. There is Wifi in the bar and restaurant, not in the rooms and cell phones work great due to a local tower.
