Truly, one of the best stays I’ve had in a very long time! Absolutely love this town and all its historic properties. The hotel was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be staying at this place every time I visit.

Donica, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Manda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really liked the shared deck. It is also right across the street from the best Basque restaurant in the state.
Mark, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The shower curtains had mildew & the bathtub was dirty. The TV didn't work either.
Veneranda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice facility, clean, convenient, safe, pet friendly. Unfortunately, Gardnerville generally was 'fair' in friendliness, e.g., No trespassing, private property, no dogs, no hippies, no etc.; not a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
A, 2-night trip

It’s a great hotel!
Mandy, 1-night trip

My only problem was I asked to change to a downstairs room as my mom hurt her knee but they said no and they were not full at the time
deborah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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 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

10/10 Excellent

Easy access to Heavenly's Nevada side, and only 3hrs drive to the Bay Area
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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!
