The check in area is too far away from the room. We had to walk almost 2 blocks to get from CVI to the motor lodge. We are old and’s can’t walk easily. You should have check in at the motor lodge or a shuttle service to and from the lodge. Our keys didn’t work when we finally got to our room and we had to call CVI again to tell them. We couldn’t walk back to the registration desk to get new keys. CVI did send engineering over to open our door but there was no place for us to even sit while we waited. Otherwise the room was nice but terribly inconvenient. I am surprised CVI would run the hotel that way.

Decent hotel for a good price. Casino next door

We were not told in advance that check-in occurs at the casino, which is about a half-block up main street. Other than that, this hotel is good. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean and it's quiet.

Strong chemical odor due to remodeling

The one bedroom suit with kitchen very spacious. Remodeled with nice amenities in the kitchen. However there're strong chemical odor in the room due to remodeling paints. I felt headache after I stayed in the room for a while. I had to open windows finally to allow fresh air in. Wifi is extremely unstable, disconnected frequently therefore completely useless. One more thing, you have to go the the hotel main building for checking in, less then 5 mins drive, yet still inconvenient

We booked off Hotels.com in the Motor Lodge. It advertised all the amenities that are available at the Casino but the lodge is located a block away so not convient to use the amenities. The room had been nicely renovated.

Bummer

I usually stay at the main casino while working in Minden, This time I tried the Motor lodge. Totally dissatisfied with the conditions. My back is still out from the old mattress. I could go on, but I will just book the main casino in the future
