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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
