We have stayed at Historian Inn for many years in row since my in-laws are in Gardnerville. The property has always been good, though there has always been “something” that wasn’t quite right. A good example is the ice machine has been broken for over 2.5 years. Annoying but not a deal breaker. When I asked the former property manager about it, I was told they tried to fix it but couldn’t. A new one was too expensive. This year was too much though. Upon check in, we discovered the toilet wouldn’t flush. Turns out the chain was broken and not connected to the flush lever. I was told there was no maintenance on duty at the time (5:30pm on a Thursday). I asked for a room switch and was told nothing was available that would match our stay length. I was asked to “make it work” until morning. My wife, who is a wizard at quick fixes, used a bread tie to reconnect the chain. The very next thing we noticed was that the toilet seat was for a round toilet but the toilet itself was an oval bowl. That means several inches of the bowl extended out past the lid. When you sit down, you’re almost certainly touching porcelain with your legs. When I mentioned this to the staff I was told, “It’s been that way for awhile. We are new management and haven’t gotten to it yet.” This was enough for me to look for other hotels near by, price be damned, but nothing that was acceptable was available. This is the last time we will stay at Historian Inn.

This property was unsafe and very disgustingly dirty. A huge crack in the ceiling above the bed, uncovered electrical outlets, dirty linen, toilet was not secured. The establishment management was not willing to give us another room or refund our stay.

No ice machine/no ice bucket in rm. Toilet flush stopper needed adjustment. Sink drain plug was disconnected from the lever to raise and lower it. Table in rm. had not been cleaned after previous occupant ... sticky. Lights above sink flickered. AC unit did not respond reliably to settings designated by rm. occupant. Temp dial rolled a full 360 degrees which affected temp. No housekeeping over a two night stay. Request for 30 additional minutes beyond 11am check because of a morning commitment was denied. Pleasant personnel but Historian did not seem guest-focused. Would think twice before re-booking. Carson Valley Inn was a better experience just up the road, but I needed non-smoking accommodations and in this regard Historian was a real plus.

The rooms were clean and updated but the outside area needs some work. Not very difficult to pull weeds and put some grass other than just bare dirt

The stay was pleasant. The front desk was very friendly. Located near some very good restaurants within walking distance. The road traffic was very heavy but that is because main drag is under construction. Once that is done it will be much more pleasant in terms of noise.

This hotel sucks. I had a family emergency and they would not let me cancel my reservation. Good way to treat your customers. Honestly glad I didn't stay though, the place looks like a dirtbag motel.

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.
