10/10 Exceptional

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.
Cody, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Everything was great. Sean at the front desk was awesome. Would stay here again.

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

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

8/10 Very 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.

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.
