The room was really wonderful, spacious and with lots of character. My only gripe is that you have to check in at the Crystal Bay Club Casino next door which isn’t convenient and detracts from the historic ambiance of the Border House itself…

This place is overpriced, dirty feeling, dark, and staff assistance non existent. No wifi except piggy backing off the casino. The casino is a small and dingy as well. I do not recommend. 40 min from Reno with the fastest way driving back to 80 in Cali - Truckee.

We booked the room online. Before we got there, we called the office and confirmed with their stuff that our room had two beds, not once but twice. However, when we checked in, the room has only one room. Apparently the stuff do not know their rooms at all. The only reason I gave two stars because their manger kindly provided some extra blankets and sheets to help out.
