I have stayed at the property dozens and dozens of time in the past. What a disappointment this time. Was looking forward to a nice quiet dinner with my Nephew that we happened to be in the same area. We live 500 miles from each other. We were looking for a filet and lobster dinner with drinks. The posted hours at the CV steak house shows closing 9:30 We entered at 8:45. Told they closed the kitchen that we could go to the coffee shop. When I brought up the posted hours of operation the women said it depends on how they feel and decided to shut it down for the night. The next day is there closed day. I brought this complaint to the front desk and asked for a manager to contact me. Left them my phone number. I heard nothing from them. Very disappointed with their rudeness and lack of care for someone that has been a staying here over that past 20 years. Thankful that there is a Dominos Pizza right next door. I did stay at the J’s Resort for the 5 days before coming here to the Carson Valley Inn. I highly recommend J’s Great staff. Great food and beverage at killer prices, and a newly remodeled Casino and Resort. The staff at the food establishments are very welcoming unlike the Carson Valley Inn.

Horrible check in staff. Nothing but attitude the entire time. There was no reason for it. Truly horrible customer service. Rooms were gross, I ended up not staying there, dirty, outdated, could hear the person next to, smelt like weed. Just an awful experience especially gor the price

The room was nice and in a quiet, secluded location. The staff were super nice and accommodating. The bed wasn’t super comfy and the water pressure in the shower was very rough. Nonetheless, overall a great stay!

I loved the room and bathroom. There was an unfortunate break in the electrical system so but that didn’t last very long and didn’t affect me in anyway. Other than that, I really enjoyed staying there.

Have stayed here before - was in the unit adjacent to the gas station on the other side of the casino so much quieter. Exterior access, upstairs unit facing the mountains. Nice view. Odd thing is that the showers had body wash and shampoo but no conditioner. Not a big deal, but unexpected.

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.
