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.

We liked the price and convenient location, the staff, and the Basque restaurant across the street.

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

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!

4/10

Bed hard as a rock. Bathtub had pubic hair in it. Floor was not clean. The front desk clerk came up to clean the room, but he kept looking at me and saying "Can I go now?" as if I was his mother or his boss and not a customer just wanting a clean room. The sheets were clean, they seemed brand new. The bar next door was a little noisy. The TV came with complex instructions. I had to initial all the rules, individually, at check in. Im not used to staying in places that make you initial the rules, this made me think this place had questionable clientelle.

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.
