Did not care for having to wait five minutes when we arrived at the property before we could check in. Before we left, we discovered a leak in the bathroom on the floor. And no donuts lol we have stayed with you before and really do love the property

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.

Mediocre in Gardnerville
We went for 2 days for a wedding in small town Gardnerville. Where to start, the door to our room had to be assaulted to get it to open/close. The floors were filty, the bathroom door had foot prints all over it, and the microwave had 2 thawed hot pockets left in it. The ice machine doesnt work either. Everything about the hotel was basic at best.

I was a little bit disappointed while checking in that the desk clerk took a call and made a reservation with the caller and me wait while I was checking in even though I was there first, had already waited behind a previous customer and had a prepaid booked room. All else was great.
