The room was clean and reasonably appointed, though somewhat dated. We enjoyed the proximity to downtown Gardnerville, and the presence of a pair of L2 chargers on the fairly quiet street next to the hotel.

In order to check-in 55 minutes early they wanted to charge us an additional $50. I have never heard of this practice. The pillows were hard as a rock and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. In addition, the place has a great deal of traffic noise throughout the night. We were very disappointed, especially considering some of the reviews we read. They must have been posted by the owners and their relatives.
