4.25 -4.5 Rating Value: The quality to value rating would be a 4.5, as the staff seem to take pride in their representation of this "off-strip type" self-contained venue. Cleanliness: We experienced no cleanliness problems in our room or halls, just an odd smell in the elevators. Presentation: The rooms are spacey, with nice bedding in a classy presentation. Staff: The staff were great, thoughtful, friendly, helpful, and quick, even during a rush. Amenities: This venue allows you to experience family dining, casual/formal dining, pool, Jacuzzi, work-out room, coffee shop, and casino all under one roof. Smoking or Non-smoking rooms are available Detractions: The family/casual restaurant had some slight correctable issues. The jacuzzi jets had too little preasure (mechanical issue). read more

We stayed here on the way to my daughters wedding. I had booked our room thru booking.com and had requested a non smoking room. I think because booking.com is only allowed a certain number of rooms, we had been given a smoking room. Because we were on the way to the wedding, I was very concerned about the room making my clothes smell like smoke and also because I am an xsmoker, I did not want to be in a smoking room...Our desk attendant, I think her name was Kitchell or Richelle, but she was from the Menifee/San Diego area where we are from...well she was amazing! Don't know how she did it, but we got our non smoking room! Kudos to her and her manager!!! and thank you!!!! Granddaughter loved the indoor pool also and granddad loved the casino! Again, thank you for putting my needs up front!! And the wedding was amazing!!!! read more

This review is for the Carson Valley in RV park. We always enjoy staying at this RV park as it has accommodations for our motorhome home andtowed vehicle. Liz in the office is the greatest to accommodate you for whatever you need. We always get a site that has satellite reception for rooftop. read more

This is a nice place to stay, have been here several times with friends and family. The rooms are very nice and clean, and nicely remodeled recently. On the last few visits I have had the opportunity to stay in the suite. Very nice with a jacuzzi tub next to the bed, a steam shower and complete bar with 2 mini fridges. There is an indoor pool and the dining has a couple options, casual or fine. They have live music on Friday and Saturday night with an average bar area. read more

Carson Valley Inn - We got the suite ... nice Jacuzzi next to the bed - Hotels Near Me - Minden, Nevada

Perfect spot to stop if you're passing through. We booked rooms at the Lodge and were upgraded to the Inn. Max at the front desk hooked us up. Thanks Max! The rooms were super clean and comfy. We had a great time in the casino. Katie's Kitchen was delicious and the price point is great. Highly recommend and will visit in the future. read more

I stayed at the Carson Valley Inn during the Caldor Fire Evacuation. This was the best place I could have been during a stressful time. The Carson Valley Inn offered everything I could have asked for. Friendly employees, great food, a great cleaning service, a large swimming pool and a workout room to let some stress out. Joey Whitacre was extremely helpful during this time and throughout the process of being displaced. I recommend to anyone at anytime to plan a stay or vacation at CVI. Great people, great food, and amazing overall hospitality. 5 Stars all the way!! read more

Everyone here was very friendly and took care of us to the fullest extreme. Hotel rooms where nice, big, and very well taken care of. The beds where super comfy too. The only down fall was the handicap rooms dont have two beds and the toilets are not up to handicap code height. Will stay here again. read more

I had never stayed here before . Everything about it exceeded my expectations. The entire place was exceptionally clean, the staff was friendly no matter where you went. The food in the coffee shop was very good. I had dinner at the steakhouse, everything about it was amazing the service, the food & the drinks! I'll go back for sure! read more

Stayed here for two nights while in town for a wedding. Was pleasantly surprise how friendly the staff was. Katie's Country Kitchen great service and good food at an affordable price. The indoor pool/hot tub were great too. All the festive holiday decor was a nice touch since we were here in December. read more

This place has it all. Great food, slots, rooms. I have stopped by here several times and have NEVER been disappointed. The staff throughout was informative and great to interact with. They have a fantastic gym, pool, and sunning deck. If you're in the area, a must stop, if only to enjoy a great meal. I will be staying here every time I pass thru. read more

As someone who has been to almost every casino in Vegas, Reno, and Tahoe, I can tell you this is my favorite ! I come here all the time because it's 1. In Carson Valley 2. Quiet 3. super clean 4. The service is amazing 5. The steakhouse is delicious 5. Everyone who comes here is local and about 70 years old. I love it. No young people partying when I'm gambling, no annoying loud music. Just a nice clean cute little hotel and casino with good food in my favorite city in Nevada. read more

We where there for the golf tournament that is awesome We saw Wyonna at JTs the performance was great but the sound system is the worst I have ever heard read more

Best steak I've ever had. Great service, great food. Reasonably priced. Go there. read more

My husband and I stayed at the CVI before we moved here. Super great hotel/casino/restaurant place. There's two restaurants inside as well as a coffee shop and they're all awesome read more

I cannot believe what I saw tonight! My husband and I stay here at CVI and eat at the amazing restaurants in the casino whenever we come up this way. We are under construction and had to make a trip up here; most everything around is closed but the Carson Valley Inn's hotel is still open (casino and restaurants closed.) As we walked into the hotel to settle in for the night we noticed a line of about 20 cars pulling through the hotel driveway. Each car was being handed a large foil pan of pineapple ham and mashed potatoes. I asked what was going on. The doorman answered, "We are serving our employees dinner. It's our owner's way of taking care of his people when they're not working." I asked, "Every week?" He said, "No, every night!" As I entered the lobby I saw one of "the bosses" filling bags with food. He had a smile on his face. I had tears in my eyes. Goodness is all around us. This place is amazing. Thank you for your humanitarian style, Carson Valley Inn. You simply get it! read more

The CVI is a pretty good Casino! We love going to CV Steak for the Early Birds Special!! The food is FANTASTIC and the steak they serve melts in your mouth! The waitresses and waiters are very attentive and they care about your experience!! As for the casino itself, I've played a handful of times and I always walk out empty handed. The machines are rather tight but not for everyone! read more

Stayed here several times and really like it. they have decent selection of food available. gaming is good and the surrounding area has nice things to do. not far from Tahoe. plenty of places for nature lovers. Give it a try.. read more

This is not a very user friendly hotel. The staff was barely friendly at registration. We were put in a room on the 1st floor of the hotel way to the back which was a walk past 30+ rooms. We are elderly ladies and common sense should have been to put us in a more accessible room closer to registration and the casino. The rooms are good sized with a desk and easy chair. The casino area has older style machines from years past. We ate in the grill and the portions were large and the food was good. I would not stay here again -- there are better options available for the same price. This is our last night of vacation and it is a letdown. read more

This place is great!! It's super clean and the staff....the staff is amazing!!! Phill is the man!! If you need anything he is your guy!!! He went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed when I realized I had surprise needs!! Then there is Jeanann, she is the real deal!! She's fast, friendly, courteous, accurate, and won't judge you if you ask for butter in your coffee!! I love this place, it feels like home!! Thank you for a great conference!! read more

stayed here many times.. stayed over the weekend while house hunting in the Gardnerville area.. the Inn has changed hands in the last few years and no longer offers either room service or drink service at the pool.. if you try to watch the games in the lounge area of the SportsBook the cigarette smoke is overwhelming.. bleh.. having said all that.. we'd still stay again.. people are friendly.. drinks are generous if you sit at the bar and play the slots.. had pretty good luck with those.. rooms are nice still and very reasonably priced.. Katies restaurant needs help.. service can be trying.. ordered a fruit bowl and danish and an order of blueberry pancakes, which was the special, and the food never came.. we sat 25 minutes and watched people seated after us being served.. finally had to leave to meet our Realtor.. the food at Katies is generally pretty good.. read more

Excellent meal at CV Steaks. Items were delivered in a timely manner except my glass of Wine. Meal & Wine List offered a great variety of options. Server was a Polite & Professional gentleman. Main Hostess was very nice too. If your in the area it is definitely a wonderful choice. read more

Just a quick review. Had the occasion to stay there for this years NACO conference and they made it a great experience! Great place,great service and great food! read more

This is a review of their outdoor concert corral. Went to see Dwight Yoakum on Friday night. The seats are crammed so close together that get in or out of you seats the people on the side of you would have to actually stand up to walk out into the aisle for anyone to get by. Unfortunately, I was seated behind a very tall man and the stage was completely blocked from view. I got a few glimpses of DY by bending down to peek between he and his friends shoulders for a few seconds. The sound was very good, so I did get to listen to the music. Disappointed I was not able to watch him perform at all. I would recommend getting the lawn seating so a person could at least stand to see. read more

We love to go to Katie's restaurant in CVI, good prices and good food EXCEPT the beef products. Three separate occasions here the kitchen has sent raw beef to my table when ordered medium. Once with the "chopped cowboy steak" which is ground beef, still raw in the middle. Twice with prime rib. One side of the prime rib had obviously not even touched the grill. They only cooked one side of a steak and put it raw side down on the plate. Disgusting! I asked for it well done after this, server brought it back and told me it was med-well. The steak was still medium rare, very pink, lots of juices. Someone needs to hang a chart in the kitchen about cooking beef! What's going on here?! read more

I hope the owner of the restaurant at this fabulous inn reads these reviews because I would like to give a shout-out to our waitress Becky who was everything you would ever want in a waitress. Becky was a one-of-a-kind waitress you just don't find anymore. She served our party of ten gentlemen with such grace and humor. She took exceptional care of us. And did I mention the food? Simply fantastic. From the fried chicken to the burgers, everyone in our party walked away satisfied and ready to hit the slots!! We'll be back and we will be asking for our favorite waitress. read more

Wow where to begin....stayed here 10 years ago for first anniversary so we came back for number 11. Place had changed a bit, for the good. They had a band both nights. Couldnt win a thing gambling but, its gambling.prices were good. Breakfast both mornings were good with zero wait. Room was nice but had cobwebs in windows....who cares....no cobwebs, 5 star. read more

The overall experience was good. Our server was very polite and attentive as well as her assistant. BUT I can not over look or accept a "reputable" steakhouse would serve such a horrible piece of meat. I ordered the chopped steak with mashed potatoes and carmelized onions. The potatoes and onions were absolutely delicious BUT the "steak" was nothing more than an over cooked, flavorless hamburger patty! The meat was so bad, it actually ruined the whole meal. That was my first and last time at this establishment. read more

The below email to all managers of the hotel was never acknowledged that they even got it. The room and hotel part of the Inn was great, friendly and clean. The casino was terrible. I really do hope your making lots of money in the casino with the way it is and that maybe i'm just not a player anymore. But if your not, maybe you should take a look at your floor and see if you see what I see. 1. air quality...smokey and stale...sure smoke is to be expected, in fact i love second hand smoke in a casino, is it really a casino without it. But this was just bad air, noticed this right off the bat. Thick and stale, almost like a bad bathroom. 2. no excitement....the first judge of a casino is the excitement factor...if it is quiet and sullen...dont gamble there....two days at your casino and the excitement was never there..not in your customers and not in your pit boss and not in your dealers.. 3. friendly dealers....wow, what happened...not only did the pit boss never look up from his podium, the dealers were as stale as the air. They all look old , ridden hard and put away wet, along with very unfriendly....no smiles anywhere for 2 days... 4. lack of open tables....now I dont mind betting $10, $25 or $100 dollar chips, but who told you that starting all tables at $10 was a good thing, and then only having 2-3 open....I hope your graph shows that this works for you, but I saw many people just mulling around, waiting for a table to open and also heard them talking about not wanting to sit at a table starting at $10. Is there a problem starting at $5 that I dont know about? Seems to me that making some money is better than no money. And when I use to play a lot, it didnt matter the denomination that we started at, the whole table seemed to always move their bets up to bigger money. So why not, bring people to the tables with a lower start price. But your the expert, I was just the person observing the floor for 2 days. 5. hows your slot action?...are you making money?...I heard and saw NO ONE having fun....hence $20 in and leave....my wife and I played for a while and hooted and hollered and felt like people were staring, like why are they having fun?....We couldnt even figure out the machines with 20 lines running, yeah were old, or have the new machines taken the fun out of actually knowing what your rooting for? Sure i get the penny machine idea, gotta bet full amount which is actually 90cents a pull, great marketing concept because people dont realize that they should actually play a dollar machine in that case with a better pay out, so they play the penny machine thinking its just pennies....silly people.....but no one was having fun.....just a sad casino floor....and this was friday and saturday nights, going till 2 and then 4 in the morning....started at 9pm..... 6. did you get my $.....I brought $1000 to play with, I only gambled $120 worth...and i mean thats all that ever went into a machine or on the table...I spent my time watching, feeling talking and drinking...I was with a wedding party, so yeah I got pretty hammered, and yet not stupid enough to play my money in a losing situation, why? because the casino not once, as in never gave me a feel or even asked me to have fun and gamble....yes, a casino will ask you to gamle...it is in the look, the air, the feel....if there is no electricity, dont sit down... 7. bottom feeder.....your casino to me now has a bottom feeder feel....why did you choose to go this way...did you have a consultant tell you this is the trend?....fire that guy.......if you dont know what i mean by bottom feeder , go to your floor right now and look at your patrons, your staff and feel the air....hey here is a better analogy.....you have zombies.... 8. am i wrong......probably....I dont run the place...i dont see the figures and compare them to last year or the last 10 years...i dont see the graphs for each section of the casino....and if you are not compiling data for all sections, then what is going on? So, if everything is great and the casino is pulling in the cash, well frankly, good job, im a freak and im never coming back, because I dont fit your scene anymore... 9. why have I not gotten a customer survey email from the hotel?.......hmmm, you have my email address, I stayed 2 nights in the master king room, had my bill emailed to me, so I know you have my email address. And yet the easiest way to find out how your doing and get good suggestions is not being used. Or, I was overlooked becasue I booked through a third party site because the online system for the inn did not give me the best room at the best price. (let the hotel manager know this)(im assuming you have to pay the third party site for booking my room, aka you lose again) The third party site sent me a survey, and the hotel got great reviews, you know what I said about the casino....check out booking.com.... read more

We went there after wine tasting in fair play. We were seated at Avery nice table in the corner. As we see on a regular basis now the hostess just drops you off, lays the menus on the table instead of handing them to you with a personal touch. Then she ran off. I like to hear from the hostess at least my recommendations tonight are these. Or how was your day. Or I really like your tie. Our waiter was excellent, he knew the menu, was very friendly, and had a great personality. I also noticed he had a large station, and seemed to have it under control. The combination appetizer platter was good with one exception. The crab cake was cold, and tasted like it was out of a box. The salads were perfect size, and pepper was offered. I ordered calamari, it was good, I didn't care for the sauce. My wife, and daughter in law ordered rib eyes, they were ok, just not the quality like Ciera Steak & chop house. I was a bit surprised they didn't come with a little Demi. My son ordered lamb. We all wish we had. Fabulous! All the potatoes were good. We passed on desserts. Our check came and was taken care of in good time. It was an enjoyable evening. read more

Stopped by here for a night of fun on business. The crowd is quite elderly but I've always been told I'm an old soul so I fit in well. Drink service was very attentive and friendly. Nice diverse slot selection for its smaller size. A small sports book that offer competitive lines for sports betting. Cute little poker room downstairs that was unfortunately dead the entire night but can't blame the casino on that end. No complaints on my visit! read more

Food and service were less than a star. Service was just plain bad and food was a typical lunch but served so cold that we walked out of there wishing we had never walked in those doors. read more

We had a large group for dinner at the CV Stakehouse, but only 5 were there and we were waitiing for some folks from the Righteous Brothers so we were having issues holding the large banquet table. Joey Whitacre Director of Operations, leaped to our rescue and handled everything. His customer service was amazing. He got us seated, comped some food, checked on us regularly, coordinated with our server and made sure we were happy the entire night. The food was amazing! and the service even better. Thank you read more

The entire place has changed for the worse. New slots are tighter than ever! Horrible cheap entertainment. Ugly cocktail servers, ugly waitresses, ugly dealers, rude employees overall. No one seems happy! I'll drive to Fandango now! read more

We played and ate at Katies 3 or 4 times a week until we had some money problems with my wives medical bills the first of 2015 . After years of spending our extra money at CVI and most of what we won there we lost most of our free play , and food comps. If you don't spend it all there , you pay for it . John Armstrong . read more

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the place is. Was trying to find a place to stay for 2 nights for my husband's grandma's 100th bday in gardnerville and took a chance with this place as other places weren't ranked as high. It turned out great. The rooms are big, clean, nice/new - remodeled I was told. I have twin 6 years old and the toilet height was perfect - low. It wasn't your higher height toilets which I was pleased. The only 2 things I wished they had more of was hooks / towel racks and an extra chair. The shower head was spraying out hard and couldn't really adjust the type of spray. Otherwise it was a great stay and we would come stay there again when the time comes. Highly recommend it. read more

Carson Valley Inn is so much fun. The staff is super nice, friendly and helpful and you can tell they love their regulars. They have a great little steakhouse with awesome food. The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated with rich dark colors. The beds are SO comfortable you never want to climb out of them! This is the perfect place to relax after a long day on the mountain. Stop by the bar in the casino or sit in the adjoining area and watch live music. Can't wait to go back! read more
