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.

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.

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.
