Comfortable and central Gardnerville

Location was central for Gardnerville, park close by to go for a walk, lobby had lots of comfortable chairs to enjoy morning donut and drink and great place to read
Lynne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Little Costly last minute because I was screwed out of a room at the other end of town but this place is definitely the way to go. Food in all directions. Rooms are comfy and are a good place to digest JTs food from across the street.
Cody, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great. Sean at the front desk was awesome. Would stay here again.

I really liked the shared deck. It is also right across the street from the best Basque restaurant in the state.

The front desk person went out of his way to look for a pair of glasses I lost. Much appreciated.
Leslie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel as long as no one is in the room above

Bed was the best hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. However, be forewarned: staff is scarce if you need something your usually hunting someone down, if you’re one the first floor you will hear every footstep/chair slide from the room above you. Wifi is weak at best.
Staci, 4-night trip

Easy access to Heavenly's Nevada side, and only 3hrs drive to the Bay Area

Nice Place To Stay

Very quaint, clean and comfortable place to stay. I particularly liked the lobby area. It had a warm, friendly feel to it due to it's rustic decor and the seats/couches were quite comfortable. Highly recommend this motel.
Stan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a pleasant surprise this little place was! I stayed here two nights. I picked it because it was “pet-friendly” as I was traveling with my dog. There are not very many choices in the area, so I went by reviews. I wanted a place that was clean. That was safe. And was in Gardenerville. The Historian Inn came through with those things. In addition to that, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! What a bonus! Now, this place is not the Four Seasons, but it certainly is as described on Expedia! I am going to stay here again when given the opportunity!

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bed hard as a rock. Bathtub had pubic hair in it. Floor was not clean. The front desk clerk came up to clean the room, but he kept looking at me and saying "Can I go now?" as if I was his mother or his boss and not a customer just wanting a clean room. The sheets were clean, they seemed brand new. The bar next door was a little noisy. The TV came with complex instructions. I had to initial all the rules, individually, at check in. Im not used to staying in places that make you initial the rules, this made me think this place had questionable clientelle.
Susan, 1-night trip
