Very clean and friendly staff. Would highly recommend this place
The room was clean and reasonably appointed, though somewhat dated.
We enjoyed the proximity to downtown Gardnerville, and the presence of a pair of L2 chargers on the fairly quiet street next to the hotel.
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
We went for the wine walk. It was the perfect area. Next time I'll get a ride to the starting area then walk home! Staff was quick with requests & very helpful
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.
