Holiday Inn Express Fallon

I waited nearly 20 minutes to check in. There was only 1 couple ahead of me and 1 person working the desk. I’m not sure why taking so long.
Update after finally getting checked in. The room is very nice and the outdoor and indoor pool is a nice amenity.

You know, I could write out a long, drawn out review on this place, but it just isn’t worth it. Checking in took 45 minutes, the bed was uncomfortable, the room smelled like flatus, the blackout curtains didn’t close all the way, the wifi sucked, and the AC did nothing. To top it all off, the front desk agent recommended the Steakhouse and Stockman’s Casino for their excellent food and great service — but to be fair, someone who takes 45 minutes to check in two parties probably thinks 2 hour dinners are normal. Save yourself the trouble, pass by Fallon all together, and go stay in Reno or somewhere worth stopping in.

The staff was wonderful, starting at the top with the manager. I had a service animal and they were hospitable and kind. The room was very clean and the comp breakfast was the best I’ve seen in years! I will stop here on my drives in the future. The manager is wonderful.

hotel was a nice place once upon a time, now they are not so nice. They charge my CC for a pillow that I did not take, bed was old, the smell of old cigs made me want to puke and the manager needs to go back to school. I would never stay here again, don’t let the river rock and nice cut grass fool you.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, decent breakfast, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. A larger fitness center would be nice, but everything worked properly. The outdoor pool area was relaxing and well-​kept. This is probably the best hotel option in Fallon.

Top of the line. Great staff, extremely clean. observed staff on hands and knees meticulously cleaning the tracks in the doorways in the entrance of the hotel and by the pool. The manager is very helpful to the need of guest. She sure hires well. Great four day stay.

I’m laying in this bed as I type. I saw 6 water bugs (not in my room) and let the lady at the front desk know.
All she said was «oh yeah… Their all over»
Now it’s 2am and I can’t sleep because I feel those big black things all over me.

Great hotel. Extremely friendly staff. Fun indoor pool with hottub. Great location. Big lobby and great breakfast that was included. Definitely recommend. We forgot something in the room after checkout and when we called later that day they said it was no problem to send to us

Pretty nice for a Holiday Inn Express. Courteous staff at the front desk. They have both an indoor and outdoor pool, with an inside hot-​tub. Fairly nice fitness center. The breakfast doesn’t have as many options as other Holiday Inn Expresses, but it’s just minor. I like my cup of oatmeal and they didn’t have the flavor of oatmeal I prefer. They have both regular and decaf coffee going during the day. The room was spacious and clean. The only demerit on the room is no microwave, but they have a microwave in the lobby. One of the nicer Holiday Inn Expresses. i’m a fan.

Continuing my motorcycle trip around central NV I has occasion to stay in Fallon and found this HI Express well located, clean and what a great breakfast to send me off. My room had a fridge but no microwave however, I was able to walk to a place for dinner. The staff works with you whenever you have a need.

I’ve stayed at this Holiday Inn Express over 100 times. When you stay somewhere this often, you really get to know the ins and outs of the service and staff. These folks always treated me well, learned to expect my 2am arrival times and always greeted me by name when I walked through the door. I’ve tried a few other places in Fallon and this is the only one worth staying in period.

This was the place to stay if you are going to be in Fallon. Great service, staff was courteous

We try to stay at Holiday Inn Express any time we need a hotel because we usually know what to expect from them. They are generally clean and comfortable and they have the free breakfast in the morning, which is a cost saver when traveling with children.
This Holiday Inn Express went far above our expectations. We had been traveling for over 12 hours and were completely exhausted. In hearing this, the person taking our phone reservation (we were still 15 minutes away easily) upgraded us to a suite free of charge!
When we got to the hotel, the front desk staff was so friendly and courteous. They made the check in quick and easy so we could get to sleep. We were given free water and snacks as well. When we got to our room on the third floor, it was clean and spacious. The beds were clean and comfortable. We even had a private balcony overlooking the rather spacious outdoor pool. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer to enjoy the indoor and outdoor pools and our lovely room.
Breakfast was wonderful the next morning and the woman serving was very accommodating with getting us what we needed. The front desk staff at checkout were extremely friendly as well.
Overall a five-​star visit and definitely a hotel we’d stay at again and again!

Nice place (especially for the area it is in), free breakfast, and I can see how and why this is the place to stay when in Fallon! Stay here, you’ll enjoy it…

Very nice, clean.

The best place to stay in Fallon, hands down!
The rooms are clean, free wi-​fi (always a plus!), friendly staff.
There were some facility fixes happening on and off while I was there, but it really didn’t cause much of an inconvenience.

Bottom line up front: If you want cheap, you’re going to get what you paid.
Front Desk:
Very polite front desk clerks. One or two of them have been there for years and I recognized them immediately. They’re very willing to help you out as best as they can.
Facility:
They have repainted and refurnished the great room. However, the rest of the hotel is just «average» at best. It’s showing its age, somewhat.
Room:
Initial observation is that the room is clean and meets the standards. If you check behind the head of the bed, as I always do for bed bugs and whatnot, it’s totally filthy. There were tons of hairs, dirt, and who-​knows-​what-​else. I’m just glad I didn’t come away with something. The bathroom was clean but the bathtub reminded me of my grand mother’s 1940 style bathtub — small, cramped, and potentially a little dangerous if you don’t have those non-​slip pads.
Breakfast:
Standard breakfast, for free, so you can’t really complain.
Overall Assessment:
It’s a holiday inn express — not a ritz carlton. You’re going to get what you paid. You get free wi-​fi, which is a plus. But those pluses don’t outweigh the grim I saw behind the headboard of the bed.

Confused reservation staff. Took 15 minutes to make a two night reservation. Checked in and went to room for a nap. Got waken by houskeeping supervisor checking on the room. Did not know I had checked in. So much for the nap.
Got called a few hours later and asked if I was the guy who called about the air conditioning not working. Nope.
When it came time to check out, had problems with the bill. But the real kicker was they posted onto my credit card the agreed sum plus $ 25. They said that was for «incidentals» and it would drop off in a few days. Which it did. But if they do that to everyone, how much extra cash do they have in the bank collecting some interest?
If that was the end of the story, I would give them three starts. But it is not.
TWO MONTHS LATER they went and not only charged me AGAIN for the one night I was to pay, they charged me another night which was suppose to be paid by the hospital. Why did the hospital not pay? Seems the Holiday Inn screwed up the reservation to the point they had no way of printing out a bill to give to the hospital! No bill so the hospital did not pay. So now I have to get the hospital to pay for the one night they owe so Holiday Inn will drop the $ 180+ they stuck on my credit card. Talk about using money to get others to do your JOB!!. I either have to run around and get the hospital to pay for one night or I am out an additional $ 180+ .
The real hoot about this is I have a receipt for the one night I paid at the time I paid it. They have that also but they still charged me for two nights. (Nice thing about paying by credit card is you can dispute the charges, putting the ball back into their field, making them prove I owe for two nights…)
I started staying at a different hotel the next trip and I sure am glad I did. Having to do their job once is bad enough, having to do it over and over again would be a nightmare. They now get demoted to one star. (I would go with zero if that was an option!)

When we drive from our home in Bend to or through Las Vegas, it’s an overnight trip. And we typically stop in Fallon for that overnight. We’ve stayed at three hotels in Fallon over the last dozen years of making this drive and this HIE is definitely the class of the company. So we’ll be staying here again in a couple of weeks and figured it was worth a review as to why this is hands down our favorite hotel in Fallon.
1. Convenient location off the freeway yet quiet at night.
2. Friendly desk staff.
3. Clean, clean, clean… public spaces and rooms. Pride of ownership shines. Literally.
4. Spacious rooms, comfy beds, everything is well maintained.
5. Free breakfast in the lobby and while we’re not so much hotel breakfast eaters, there is always fruit and coffee to keep us happy.
And here’s a fun «perk». This hotel sits across the parking lot from a casino. Not a great casino, actrually a rather seedy one. But the fun part is that Fallon is also home to the Top Gun Naval Flight Training base. And we’ve met a number of cute servicemen from that base when playing blackjack with them at $ 5 tables over the years.
A couple of years ago, it was a particularly mirthful evening of cards and as we left one of them said we were a lot of fun and we reminded him of… wait for it… his grandparents who also lived in Oregon. Not his parents, his grandparents! How did THAT happen when we weren’t looking? :-)

We LOVE this Holiday Inn! The staff are ultra friendly and polite, and the rooms are clean and wonderfully decorated.
When we stay here we always get the «King Bed 2 Room suite with whirlpool tub» listed on the website. It’s usually only around $ 140/​night. I know. that’s a bit much for something in such a tiny town. However take a look at my photos and see what you get for that cash!
