Our night in Gardnerville

This hotel, right on US395 in Garderville was okay, but that’s about it. On the positive, the room was clean, stocked, there was plenty of hot water and the bed was really comfortable - I slept really well. On the down side, the place looked sorta run down, and there were few amenities, no breakfast offering (although it was apparent that they used to offer a breakfast), and the place looked like a basic motel. Worst part is I feel the place was overpriced. The room was worth $70 a night, not $130. It was convenient to nearby dining. The big question, would I ever stay there again? The answer is no..

My room had an extremely strong chemical smell, and I asked for a different room. The desk clerk sprayed my room with glade and said "There". When I asked again for a different room, the hotel attempted to charge me an extra $40. When I asked them to cancel my reservation, they stated that since I had checked in they could not cancel. I went to another hotel!

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.

Booked to atrend a friends birthday. It was convenient and reasonably priced. It is dated but wasnt expecting a modern cream de la cream hotel. The staff was very nice and yes, breakfast is definitely doughnuts from a very good bakery. I would stay again if i was in the area.
