Rooms and staff was nice, dining prices were amazing, Steakhouse was excellent. Was attending a concert at the JT Corral but did not get to see because of a medical emergency. Had a medical emergency and had to be ambulanced to hospital and security at Hotel sent security guard to come get me after 6 hours in the middle of night to go back to room. I did experience ants in my room on the second bed.

Carson Valley Inn is a very nice place to stay. It is well set up and easy to navigate between the room, the casino, parking and multiple restaurants. The rooms were spacious and clean. The grounds are well maintained and appeared to be safe. We will stay there again when the occasion arrives.

Nice room and helpful staff.

We were there for only 14 hours because we had a medical emergency and had to go back home to the Emergency Room. The person who helped us check out was great and said we would be getting a refund for two nights.

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.

Motor lodge is not close to the hotel where the registration desk is nor is the restaurant. So unless you like to walk 2 blocks from registration to your room I don’t recommend it. Also don’t bring large trucks to the lodge. There isn’t much room to maneuver them. If you do stay here, drive and park at the main hotel, check in and get your key, then drive over to the Motor Lodge. If you want to eat there, plan on driving your car back over to the hotel.
