A very charming and quaint place to stay at. Spent 3 nights (New Year’s Eve) here with family and some friends and we had a great time. The reception upgraded us to a suite and it was lovely and very kind of her. The room was neat and big. The breakfast is very basic here though and don’t expect anything fancy. The location is not bad if you want to go skiing at Tahoe.
Been over a year since I had the opportunity to revisit The Historian. The upgrades to the rooms are just great. Although a lot of new staff, the excellent service and support to make this stay as outstanding as the past ones. Of great improvement was the WiFI which was lacking at times in the past. The local area still stacked with great food, drink, and shopping of all kinds within walking distance. Hope it is sooner than a year before my next stay.
Location was great, rooms were clean. Staff went above, I can be picky and difficult especially after long hours of traveling but Kristi went out of her way to ensure that I was calm and satisfied. Thank you !
This hotel is a great find. The rooms are beautifully decorated, high ceilings, crown molding, new feel and look. The service is better than a 5 star hotel. When we arrived late and were hungry the attendant gave us several restaurants to choose and then the one we choose didn’t deliver. The attendant offered to go and pick our food up for us. Amazing. You won’t go wrong with this Hotel. the pictures don’t do it justice.
Had the most amazing time here! Staff was so friendly and recommended the Basque resteraunt across the street (JT Basque Bar & Dining Room) which was also amazing by far! After dinner we spent a night in watching movies and headed to Tahoe the next day! The room is beautiful and spacious with a cabin-like feel. The wood floors and design of the room blew me away! We will be coming back in the future for sure!
This is a lovely hotel, right in town, that really lives up to its own advertisement. Our King room was beautiful, especially the slab wood countertop and headboard. We had a 2 pm wedding to get to, and the management worked hard to get us early check-in at noon. In-room amenities were high-quality (robes, lotion, fridge/micro, etc.) and there were snacks available for purchase, in room, at extremely reasonable prices. Strong, hot shower. Breakfast was free yogurt parfait or hot oatmeal, with additional items available for purchase, again very reasonable. And the coffee! For Peets or Starbucks fans, you will be very pleasantly surprised with the breakfast buffet coffee. The courtyard parking was nice, though all of downtown was fine and we had no security concerns at all. Free Wifi was good…
We stayed in Gardnerville with great service and fabulously decorated.
The owners care – and we will recommend it to everyone!
Breakfast was great, too!!

This by far was the best Hotel my husband and myself have ever stayed in. It was so very clean. A fantastic King Bed with 6 pillows not your normal 2 small ones. All the employees were very nice. Right after we left I noticed I lost an earring (probably in all the pillows). And guess what? I never called them, but they called and asked if I lost an earring and that they would mail it to me. We will absolutely be staying there every time we go up that way. Thanks again Historian Inn for making our stay special.

We loved this place! We were worried because we’ve driven past it before and of course, it’s old. I had knee surgery in Carson City, and we wanted to stay here because it’s across the street from a great basque restaurant.
Originally we were going to take one of our dogs, so I booked a dog friendly room. They only charge $20.00 extra for the total stay! Not per day! Great price. In the room they had put a basket with extra towels and sheets to put on the bed or floor for the dog, poop bags and a ball. We ended up not bringing the dog, but we were certainly impressed with the room, the attitude of the staff (regarding dogs) and the grass area for the dog.
The rooms have been updated and are very, very nice. Nice bathroom vanity and shower. The bedding and bed were comfortable. It seems like we had plenty of room to move around. The staff are all very nice and helpful. They had the idea to put us on the ground floor, which I didn’t think of. They also arranged to have our room cleaned early the day of surgery so that when we got back it was ready.
We would for sure go back, in fact we are looking forward to it!

If you are going to or through this area, this is the place to stay! We came through on the first night of a cross country road trip, and we received a warm welcome after a long day of driving through the cold. We had read it had recently been renovated; it basically feels like a brand new establishment. The rooms are huge for a standard room, beautiful furnished (no floral comforters here!), and very cozy and relaxing. It was clean and had a nice spacious bathroom area. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and the lobby is just as nice as the rooms. I hope to stay here again one day!
