Clean room; unfortunately the pool was out of service and the jacuzzi’s weren’t full enough for the jets to work. We’ve stayed here several times and we love the atmosphere. I love Job’s Cafe since they have the best cinnamon rolls on the planet! And, they have great coffee! Katie’s Country Kitchen never disappoints and the CV Steakhouse is very good with a nice bar.

We usually enjoy staying at CVI. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Housekeeping takes pride in their work. The room we stayed in had been upgraded. My only complaint was that the pillows were lumpy and the wall paper on the wall in the bathroom was peeling at the corner seams. Check in was easy. The staff is all really nice and helpful. Looking forward to our next stay.

The room was big and the shower wonderful. However, the bed was an old fashioned mattress and too hard with very small, hard pillows. The blow dryer cord was hardly long enough to reach the mirror and the a/c fan was either on or off, no auto setting. That wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t so loud it kept my husband awake.

Liar. I called 2 times, once on the day before my checkin date and second time before arriving and I was told that microwave will be available and will be put in the room only at the time of checkin. So I planned accordingly and bought food for my 8 month old and for ourselves too. At the time of checkin they said that microwave is not available and the person at checkin counter was rude too. She told me at the time of checkin that they will check on microwave and will see if its available as it might not be available and asked me to call at number 0 after some time. I called half an hour later and she said its not available and hung up. I called again to share the feedback that I was told that microwave will be available and then she again hung up. Then I called 3rd time and said that can I not share my feedback and why she hung up and she said that she doesnt want to argue on this topic. I was like waoooo, how can it being an argument that they lied to me before and now hanging up on my even after I checkin in. So, they first lied and then the person at registration was super rude. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We were "greeted" at the front desk for check-in by Tyler, or as we called him Mr Personality. He never smiled, was very unpleasant and set a negative tone right from the start. If this is how Carson Valley Inn wants to wants its employees to represent them, they are in trouble. Bed was very uncomfortable, pillows were 1/2 the size of normal and the bathroom door squeaked very loud.

Check-in staff was inattentive when we approached the counter. Speaking amongst themselves about an unknown subject while we stood there awaiting some recognition. A simple "we'll be right with you " would have set the right tone. The room was great, but this is not the first time that the check-in staff has been "stand offish" at best. I believe further training is needed.

We traveled with children and we felt extremely safe the entire time. We were able to walk to downtown Minden and CVI is extremely close to trails, bowling, Carson City, Geno and Tahoe. We ate at the steakhouse one night and we were so impressed - it was a great experience. Overall, it was a great stay!

Insulation is awesome as we did not even need to turn on heater for night with temperature outside being below 40F. Katie's Country Kitchen was fantastic for dinner and breakfast! Prices are very reasonable with dish sizes being more then generous. Casino was ok if you are looking to have some fun to complement your stay. Overall, we would recommend this place and plan staying there again in the future.
