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.

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.

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

I highly recommend the Historian Inn. My room was very clean and comfortable and had a somewhat quaint feel, which was carried over from the warm, charming lobby. The staff was very nice and capable. About that clean room, I note that even though I didn't have a pet, I was given a pet friendly room, since all the no pet rooms were taken. And the room I got was still perfectly clean.

The property is unique for someone who is out of state. The family enjoyed the Historical feel of the property and rooms. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the insight provided by the staff made our trip memorable for all; thank you.

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.
