Hotels in Goldfield, Nevada: The Short Answer
Goldfield is the seat of Esmeralda County. Travel Nevada calls the town a central Nevada gold camp founded in 1902. Roughly 200 to 300 people live here today, depending on the source. Such a small town cannot support a long list of chain hotels.
We confirmed two places with real beds under a roof. They are the Santa Fe Motel and the Goldfield Stop Inn. Two RV parks also take reservations. Every other name on older travel pages failed our checks, and we explain those below.
Plan ahead. With so few rooms, a single event can fill the town. Goldfield Days in August is one example, according to Travel Nevada.
Santa Fe Motel and Saloon
The Santa Fe Motel sits next to the Santa Fe Saloon. Travel Nevada says the saloon has served customers since 1905 and is the oldest remaining business in town. The same page says the motel replaced several beds once kept at the back of the saloon.
Atlas Obscura places the saloon a short way off Route 95 and tells visitors to look for Fifth Avenue. Islands.com describes the saloon as a bar with Old West decor, a pool table, and slot machines. Tripadvisor lists the motel as an active listing, though the newest review we saw dates from 2019.
One 2019 Tripadvisor reviewer reported clean rooms, easy parking, no coffee pot, and no food on site. Treat this as one guest opinion. Atlas Obscura says the saloon serves pizza and does not open for lunch. We could not find a street address, a phone number, or check-in and check-out times from a reliable source. Look up the current number and confirm every detail before you drive out.
Goldfield Stop Inn
The Goldfield Stop Inn is a small inn in the Goldfield National Historic District. Travel Nevada says local owners Steve and Jeri Foutz run the inn and keep the doors open year-round. The page places the inn on the western edge of town along the Free-Range Art Highway.
The inn offers three rooms. The Crib is a cabin moved from the old red light district. Pearl’s Place and Rosie’s Room are vintage studios. Each studio has an antique queen bed, a handmade quilt, a small kitchenette, and a mini-fridge. Bathrooms are private. One bathroom sink came from the Goldfield Hotel.
Pets are welcome on a leash but not on the beds. Smoking is not permitted. Wi-Fi is free but spotty, according to the listing. The listed phone number is 541-218-8236.
Our confirmation here is thin. Travel Nevada is the only detailed source we found, so treat the room details as unconfirmed. Call to verify availability, check-in times, and house rules.
The Goldfield Hotel Is Closed to Guests
Many visitors search for the historic Goldfield Hotel and expect a room. Do not plan a stay there. Carson Now reports the hotel has stayed closed since 1945. Destination 4×4 gives the same year and says the building last housed officers and families from the Tonopah Air Field during World War II.
The hotel stands at the corner of Crook Avenue, which is U.S. Route 95, and Columbia Avenue. The hotel opened in June 1908. The four-story Classical Revival building once held 150 sleeping rooms and 45 suites. The National Register of Historic Places listed the hotel in 1982.
The Goldfield Historical Society offers guided tours by appointment, according to Destination 4×4. The page lists Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday evening slots. Schedules shift, so call the society before you go. Historians question many of the ghost stories told about the building, so enjoy them as local lore.
Older versions of this guide called the Goldfield Hotel a place to book. The claim was wrong, and we removed the claim.
Motels in Goldfield NV and RV Options
If you want a motel, the Santa Fe Motel is the one we could confirm. For a self-contained stay, Goldfield has two small RV parks. Both accept pets according to their listings.
Rooms are scarce, so some travelers drive to larger towns. Tonopah is one option, and Travel Nevada places the Central Nevada Museum there. We did not verify Tonopah lodging for this guide, and we cannot give a drive time. Check a map and call ahead.
Goldfield Miners Camp RV Park
This park is at 412 N. Columbia in Goldfield, according to Campendium. Travel Nevada describes the park as veteran owned, rustic, and just off the historic main street. The phone number is 855-453-3535.
Both sources agree on full hookups with water, sewer, and 30 and 50 amp electric. Free Wi-Fi, restrooms, and showers are listed. Travel Nevada says the park fits rigs up to 100 feet long and offers an outdoor kitchen. Campendium counts eight gravel sites and notes military discounts. The two sources differ on site types, so ask which site fits your rig.
The newest Campendium review we saw dates from October 2025. We could not confirm opening dates or check-in times, so call first.
Goldfield RV Park
Goldfield RV Park is at 410 4th Street. The phone number is 775-277-3943. Campendium lists ten mostly pull-through sites with full hookups, a dump station, picnic tables, and free Wi-Fi. Pets are allowed.
Reviewers describe a basic, quiet park with gravel sites and a view over town. One review warns the map pin is off. The advice is to head south on 4th Street until you pass the post office. A 2023 note on the listing suggests reserving ahead through goldfieldrv.com. Reviews on Tripadvisor are old, with the newest dating from 2019. Confirm the park is operating before you travel.
Other Places We Found but Could Not Fully Confirm
Travel Nevada lists Clark’s Custom Camp as an RV park with concrete pull-through pads, free Wi-Fi, laundry, and a rec room. We found no second source, so treat the listing as unconfirmed.
Travel Nevada also lists the Gold Point Ghost Town Bed and Breakfast, which offers stays in historic miners’ cabins. The page puts Gold Point about a half hour from Goldfield by car. This is a single source as well. Call before you plan around a cabin there.
Travel Nevada mentions primitive camping at Diamondfield Gulch. The page says the land is the owner’s private residence, so call ahead and ask permission.
Old Listings We Dropped and Why
Earlier versions of this post named several properties. We could not find a trace of a hotel called The Oasis at Goldfield RV Park in any tourism listing, camping directory, or map source we checked. We also found nothing for a Goldfield Inn and Casino. We removed both.
The older post called the budget option the Goldfield Stop and Stop Inn. The real business is the Goldfield Stop Inn, a three-room inn, and not a motel with a pool and a continental breakfast. We found no source for a pool or a breakfast, so we removed those claims.
The old post also claimed the Goldfield Miners Camp offered cottonwood trees, a playground, and a communal fire pit. Our sources do not confirm those items. The real listing is an RV park with full hookups and an outdoor kitchen.
Hotels Near the Goldfield Historic District
The Goldfield National Historic District holds most of the town sights, and the Stop Inn sits inside the district. Travel Nevada promotes a historic walking tour with 190 stops. The district also holds the Esmeralda County Courthouse, built in 1907 and still in use.
Other stops listed by Travel Nevada include Goldfield Fire Station Number 1, the historic cemetery, and the Historic Goldfield High School, which offers ghost hunting tours. The Florence Mine tour includes a working hoist house.
Staying in town means you can walk to the saloon, the diner, and the old streets. Travel Nevada names the Dinky Diner as the only restaurant, with the Santa Fe Saloon serving pizza. Hours are not confirmed, so ask your host.
Things to Do Near Your Goldfield Hotel
Gemfield is a rockhounding area about four miles outside town, according to Travel Nevada. Diamondfield Gulch lies about six miles east. The International Car Forest of the Last Church sits just outside town, and Islands.com says visitors can see about 40 painted vehicles half buried in the desert at no charge.
Goldfield also sits on the Park to Park in the Dark route, which links Death Valley and Great Basin through very dark skies. Stargazers will find a good reason to stay overnight. Pack warm layers because desert nights cool fast.
Islands.com says Goldfield lies nearly three hours northwest of Las Vegas along U.S. 95. Confirm your own route before you set out.
How to Choose Where to Stay in Goldfield
Pick the Stop Inn if you want a quirky historic room with a kitchenette. Pick the Santa Fe Motel if you want a bed beside a historic saloon. Pick an RV park if you travel with your own rig.
Book early for August and for any weekend event. Ask each host about check-in times, cancellation rules, pet rules, and Wi-Fi. Small owner-run places often have their own habits and limits.
Bring supplies. Services are thin in town, and one reviewer noted the motel has no food on site.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We checked the Santa Fe Motel against Travel Nevada, Atlas Obscura, Islands.com, and Tripadvisor. We checked the two RV parks against Campendium, Travel Nevada, and Tripadvisor. We checked the Goldfield Hotel against Carson Now and Destination 4×4.
We could not confirm current rates, room counts at the motel, check-in and check-out times, or the exact opening dates of any property. We could not find an official site for the Santa Fe Motel or the Stop Inn. The Stop Inn rests on one detailed source.
Call each property before you book. Confirm the name, the address, and the policies, since small businesses in remote towns change often.
