Look if you have steak taste on a hamburger budget you're going to be disappointed. If you're used to staying at budget hotels you'll be fine (and I'm not talking the kind that have DIY waffles in the morning - this more budget than that.) Below are the cons, if they're a deal breaker then book elsewhere: Air conditioner is not great. You cannot control it in your room. If you're from the land of fog and sea like me it's gonna be warm. It was not uncomfortable though. Breakfast was laughable. Cheerios, instant oatmeal, toast, and yogurt. If you think that sounds ok hold on to your seat because there are no bowls. Have fun having your milk and cereal in a paper coffee cup. Underground parking might make you worried about Freddy Krueger jumping out from around the corner but hey...it's secure. If there are remodeled rooms no way got one. It was a novelty to turn on the TV and see static though. Pros: It is in a great location. In the morning we walked to the Capital and over to a local coffee shop. The night staff was very nice. It felt secure. It is priced just high enough to keep the creepy peeps out. read more

Worst customer service. Not wanting customers Won't answer the phone Not at the front desk for 45:minutes Finally answers and hangs up when asked if their are still in business read more

We really wanted to have a positive experience with this hotel as it was one of the most affordable places close to Tahoe when there was a major event in town but it left a less than ideal experience. We were greeted by a young man at the lobby who checked us in promptly. We went to our rooms and like some of us, first thing we wanted to check was the condition of the room. It gives off simple charm but we peeled back the layers of the bedding and were instantly met with disgust. There was a sheet that had dried blood on it and there was no mistaking what it was. There were other stains on each sheet as well as the comforter. We checked out the second bed, and while it wasn't as bad, it still had random stains all over the sheets. We had friends that took the room next to us and upon informing them of what we found, they looked at their bed and had similar experiences. The floors also were in desperate need of replacement as they have dark stains all over. I can understand that hotels will have some stains from time to time, but it was a bit excessive. The hallways also are in very poor shape but they at least hung a sign saying that they were aware of the carpet and were in the process of replacement. I guess I don't know exactly how long those signs have been present but I guess they don't need to be in any rush as "there is a sign". We went down to the front desk and they young man did offer a new room or new bedding. We just took the fresh linens and changed the bed ourselves. Later on, we went to take a shower and couldn't help but notice that there were only two full towels even though we have two full queen size beds and 4 people, but I guess it's assumed that you only need one towel per adult? I'm not certain, but once again had to call the front desk and they said they would come up and provide additional towels. Sure enough, in 10 minutes there was a knock at the door and the young man was there with additional towels. I jokingly looked at him and said, "Are you the only one working here in the hotel tonight?" as he was the only one that helped us several times and he said, "basically yes I am the only one here and I get off at 10 where another person comes in to replace me". Mind you, he was young and I would guess about 22 years of age, but to be running the entire hotel on his own seemed just unfair. The best part of this experience is that on their sign outside of the Inn, they actually say "Impeccably clean rooms", which really couldn't be further from the truth. Sadly, you get what you pay for and these rooms were very affordable but I don't think anyone wants to lay their heads down on someone else's dried blood. read more

Hardman House - Definitely blood - Hotels Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

See all

I've been staying at the Hardman House for the past 15 years. It's the perfect location to downtown and the Carson City Wine Walk. This has been a family owned Business since the very first day I walked through the door and this visit I finally met one of the brothers who owns the place, Tedsh. He has a twin brother Dominick. The owner informed me their cousin who use to run the front desk who was my absolute favorite, Gurnay is going to nursing school! I miss her so much! She and I had a special connection and she was always so welcoming and made my stay extra special. The brothers are trying to update the Hardman House and make it authentic and not a Holiday Inn! They want to keep the prices at good value for all travelers. They have started on the remodel which has begun from the top slowing working their way down. Every time I stay there, I see improvements, all new bedding, custom mattresses exclusively for the hotel, Egyptian linens same as the Landing at Tahoe. Brand new roof and internet upgrades for Wi-Fi and televisions. They're in the process of remodeling the 3rd floor which is my favorite rooms. This time I stayed in Room 217 and it was different than my usual room. It was nice and roomy with a view of the buildings next door and not too noisy. Yes, the place is a bit run down and they have signs saying pardon our carpets in the hallways which are super old and unpleasant to look at. I can't wait for the new carpets and drapes!!!! In with the new and out with the old! You will have the comfort of your bed which is a beautiful thing and you will be well rested. They do have wine and cookie hour in the evenings and a small continental breakfast. The breakfast could be more appealing, maybe supporting one of the local bakeries in town would be a nice touch and moving the breakfast choices back to the table instead of on the end of the countertop. I look forward to my next stay this summer, hopefully on the 3rd floor with a nice fresh look and feel. I do love that they have underground parking which is a plus! You need to be mindful of the removal of old toilets, beds, and microwaves as they make improvements to the property. They be gone soon enough. read more

The staff was friendly. The breakfast was nice for a (free!) cold buffet. Lots of what appeared to be a cultural exchange program and some bicyclist. The room we had was pretty dated. There are limited places in Carson City to stay so we thought we would give us a try, but somewhat substandard. I do recognize that I'm pretty picky so that should factor in as well. read more

The staff are pleasant, the underground parking is welcome, and the main room is simple and fine. My king bed was terrific. The bathroom, however, is not good; the paint job is wretched, the exhaust fan seems to be run by a distal motor, and the shower/tub has more than a little black mold. It's not the worst place I've ever stayed (that was in Mammoth), but I can't recommend it. read more

The Hardman house has so much potential based on its location, and warm staff appeal. We had an issue the first night with the AC in our room and the manager Tej took care of it promptly and put us in a different room that we enjoyed. I am looking forward to the remodeling of the rooms and hallways. Their success is related to their friendly staff and willingness to make their guest feel comfortable. If you have an issue while staying there, please contact their management staff, and you will be treated with the upmost attention. I would recommend bringing in baked goods to serve with the early morning, coffee and juice. read more

Dilapidated building, dirty rooms and bathrooms. I stayed for three nights. Couldn't sleep first night because of stuffiness in room. Thermostat is a show piece. When I went downstairs next morning, they just casually mentioned AC is not working. This place should not exist. It needs to be demolished yesterday. read more

Would give 0 if I could. No ac but they give out fans. Needs to be remodeled. Easy parking and simple breakfast though.

Traveler beware. Booked a room for June 14th 2025 one night. After talking with my husband we decided we rather leave then stay there. The pictures can speak for themselves. Only the 3rd fl is remodeled we were placed on the 2nd fl. I assume the pictures are from the 3rd fl on their website. If that was what we saw I would have been fine but what we did in fact see was unacceptable for anyone in my opinion. Their staff was polite and friendly so I'll give them that. They did change the bedding as I asked but we decided we couldn't stay there. If it was a little here or there fine but that was just gross beyond my limit. However, they refused to refund us fully or even partially citing their 48 hour prior cancelation policy. I'm not going to argue with them about it but if a customer arrives and it's unacceptable like it was then that policy should be waived and refund the customer. We aren't unreasonable and would have been ok with just a partial refund because we did show up and check-in but they won't even do that. You can't cancel 48 hours prior when false pictures are posted online. My pictures are the real pictures for at least the room we were assigned obviously I can't speak for the whole facility as I did not go room to room. We didn't stay long enough to review anything else about the facility. read more

If I could rate these idiots a 0 I would. They rented me a room with a non-functioning air conditioner...when the daily temperature was just shy of 100 degrees! The maintenance guy who stopped by to fix it, and couldn't, told me this is a relatively common problem at the hotel. When I reported the problem to the front desk there were two other guests reporting problems, too. One also had a non-functioning air conditioner. The other had no running water in his room! I will never, ever stay at this hotel again. read more

Friendly staff but filthy stained carpet and dingy paint in our room and lumpy pillows Convenient location read more

Some of the rooms are nice some are not. The carpets in the bedrooms are stained. The door handles in the bathroom are filthy. It is very quiet here. I feel safe read more

They need a full makeover!!!Everything in the place is dated. The carpet is disgusting!!! Their continental breakfast is so gross. They are a block away from a donut shop. They could offer fresh donuts with some good coffee and it would be better than what they serve. The place has so much potential and they are running it down hill. You should see the their storage downstairs in the parking garage. They have an old used toilet sitting there with a bunch of stuff that should be taken to the dumps. They need to hire a professional to fix this up!!! They have no sense of style. None!!! read more

Have been here 4 days. Candace & Kimberly at front desk very proficient with their duties. Very courteous. Answered all my questions. Gave great recommendations for food and entertainment. Even cheapest place to get gas (its almost $2/gallon cheaper here!) Free continental brk. Great selection. Quiet!!! read more

Hardman House - Very nice soft king sized bed with alcove. Sink, blow dryer, area to hang clothes, and store suit case. - Hotels Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Stayed one night passing through. Front desk was nice and helpful. Overall needs remodeling done, which looks like they are planning to do. Our room wasn't the cleanest. Bed looked like someone had laid on it prior, and there was garbage from the previous guests. AC wasn't working and the heater would not stop blowing hot air. Luckily there was a fan and 1 of the 3 windows opened. Was still hot and uncomfortable. Breakfast was just bread and cereal. I think the hotel has potential to be good in the future, but right now I wouldn't recommend. read more

Worst hotel ever. Did a reservation 2 days before date of my stay that too with their website. Called them the same day for confirmation and again confirmed the same on day of reservation too but guess what when we arrived at the place at 5:30 (standard check in time is 3 PM) the person and the gal at the hotel said they didn't have any room and can't do nothing about it. Why do you have a website or take online bookings at all if all you intend to do is give reserved room to others or don't know do what ? Anyone reading this- do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel at any cost- they will simply ruin your day/weekend read more

Avoid! This place is disgusting and a fire hazard. Plug strip connected to plug strip and windows could not be opened and they have metal stoppers. Hallway carpet is barely covering floor. Room carpet is filthy. Paid extra for sofa bed that we found was falling to pieces when we tried to pull it open and saw the springs sticking out. The fridge was on but not cold and the controller knob was broken. The final straw though was when when my husband pulled back the sheets and saw many hairs and dirty linens. Disgusting. We could not leave fast enough. read more

My wife and I visit Carson City (from Vegas) at least once a year and we typically stay here. It is a great value and the staff is wonderful. It is centrally located near downtown and it is easily accessible. We look forward to our next visit! read more

We stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is old, but we found it to be clean, spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Check in was easy and the staff was very friendly. For the price, we will definitely stay here again. read more

Where to start? The lobby smells like cigarettes. AC did not work. We walk in our room to find an old box fan to keep us cool. Windows are screwed shut so you can't get fresh air. Carpets are filthy. No plugs near beds. Beds are extremely hard and the room smelled like cat pee. Tiny fridge & microwave. This is a very low quality hotel! It hasn't been updated in years and it's WAY PAST DUE! For almost $200 a night I would pass! The broken AC, box fan and filthy carpets were a deal breaker! I would not recommend this hotel nor will I ever stay here again. On top of that I was charged $200 deposit. When I called the front desk and she checked my booking she had the nerve to ask if I had booked 2 rooms when she could clearly see I only had one. read more

The managers (Tei,Daman)whom were not present on Christmas Day , and ; did Not respond to multiple attempts to communicate by phone from hotel reception person. My wife and I with payed receipts from booking.com and email confirmation about our booking as evidence in hand. We were kept in lobby x 1.5 hours with no resolving due to no manager present. The manager finally responded by phone to the receptionist and the manager refused to accept our reservation from booking.com and said; " if you want to stay you can pay again to us ". Which was an elevated price than was from booking. Leaving us destitute on Christmas Day eve.!! I have never been treated with such lack of respect and neglect by a manager of a company whose job is Hospitality . The manager was not even willing to be at the property or accepting calls from the receptionist during business hours. I cannot recommend the Hardman house as a reputable establishment as they contract with booking.com but don't accept the reservations from them and are unwilling to resolve and help the client. Poor excuse for hospitality and not commiserate basic customer service. Very disappointing and unprofessional. Save your money and find a place that actually cares about your experience and not trying to squeeze more money from a client whom is vulnerable without a place to stay on Christmas Day eve. read more

I stayed one night while playing golf with friends in Carson City August 16-17. Six of us booked rooms. It is in the center of town within walking distance of restaurants. It's an older hotel and the price was very reasonable. The front desk ladies were friendly and the check-in was a breeze. They told me that the hotel was going to be remodeled soon. The room was clean with a microwave and mini refrigerator. There was a free simple continental breakfast, too. read more

We arrived to find they were unable to locate our confirmed, documented reservation and blamed it on a new reservation system then said they were fully booked. Eventually they came up with an alternate room which had a portable AC unit which was unable to cool sufficiently, a tub/shower with no water, a tv that wouldn't turn on and the floor had stains and the pull out sofa bed was filthy. The staff was not helpful. I recommend you stay anywhere but at the Hardman Hotel - Carson City. read more

I am surprised by the reviews. Clearly things have changed. I stayed here for the first time in December and returned last week because I love it. The location is central. The rooms are huge -- large enough to be a studio apartment. The beds are comfortable with nice linens. It has a small refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board, hair dryer. The furnishings include a desk, table and chairs. The bathroom is large and has all the necessary items. The windows are big, letting in lots of light. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The lobby area is comfortable. Everything is clean. The price is affordable. I have stayed in much more expensive hotels when traveling for business, and I am still impressed. read more

Stayed here late July 2021, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere in Carson City- having stayed at a handful of other places nearby, all are better. Will start with pros. Pros- the staff that I interacted with during stay, check-in and check-out, were very nice and polite. Especially the check-out lady. The place is overall cleaned fairly well ( I have low standards, though), and the outside of the building looks nice. Cons- Many. 1) Breakfast. This is a lie. They DO NOT have continental breakfast as advertised- just a boiled egg, yogurt cup, and a bottle of water. No coffee (the coffee machine in room is awful). This was a big selling point to me (saves morning time, etc). The receptionist the morning of my visit was very nice about it, and was shocked that they didn't tell me about this when I booked the room over the phone. I assure you, I was NOT informed about this. Also, she let me know the MANAGER was the one who booked my room initially, so there was no excuse of "junior staff" making a mistake. The natural excuse for this sad "breakfast" will be COVID, but this was July; no restrictions in Nevada, all the restaurants around are fully open, and hotels I stayed at prior on the trip had their advertised breakfasts fully operational. 2) Price change after booking. When I booked, I checked online (about ninety bucks a room, all fees included). I called in anyway and booked over phone; she told me it would be about 95, all fees included. that was a small difference so I went ahead and booked over phone, but when I arrived, I was told it would be 110 with fees- a significant difference over both quoted and online price. Whatever, I just ate it and moved on. Once again, booked by the manager- not a junior staff member. 3) Shower smelled very bad; I think it was the shower curtain, but smelled awful like mildew/mold, probably because it was bunched up and not allowed to dry in between stays and/or not washed. Not the end of the world to me, though. 4) dated rooms- in a bad way, like mid-1990s, not cute 1890s like the outside of the building. Again, I don't care much about this or the shower, it's no biggie, but in conjunction with points 1 and 2, you should really look elsewhere. You can get a cheaper or similarly priced room which is cleaner and more up-to-date on the inside with/without breakfast, and probably more professional management, in Carson City. read more

Hotel was OK - Hall carpets were OLD and filthy. BUT we were told at the counter they are in the process of updating! Totally believe New Mattress in the Rooms ( and old ones in the hallway) but were Soft as a Cloud - Not good if you have a Hard Mattress at home! Service was Fine - they had Basic Breakfast - ( Cereal/muffins /fruit/ coffee/ OJ etc) and EACH evening they had White & Red Wine with cookies! Only reason I did not give a 4 star was we were not told at anytime that room/towels were not cleaned everyday only on the 3rd Day. But We were given clean towels when we asked for them just an uncleaned room! We would Stay again as it was a decent place for the price AND did not Charge extra FEES like RENO does! read more

We booked our reservation's for a king suite 2 1/2 months in advance. Called day before arrival to confirm reservation only to learn they had us booked in wrong room with two queen beds. Explained this was incorrect and needed to be changed. We were then booked into a king mini-suite which we accepted, of course having to pay for the upgrade. They explained they had upgraded their TVs and gave us directions to use if they did not work properly. There was a large TV in bedroom and a smaller one in sitting room. Directions were to push input button to work properly, however, the large TV did not have such button but smaller one did so we have only one working TV. We were informed by Cathy at the desk that last customers had stated the TV in bedroom did not work so the staff knowing left the non working TV in that room. From here things just go further downhill since we learned the toilet did no flush properly. We tried negotiating regarding price and condition and were told they would fix everything. Returned to room two hours later and nothing had changed. We finally found another hotel and checked out. Will never, ever stay here again. VERY UNSUPPORTIVE STAFF read more

It's a nice historical building, spacious room, breakfast included, free cookies and wine in the afternoon, good location, free covered parking. First night stayed in a room on 1/F, the TV was on by itself at 2 am, hardly slept as we heard people walking one floor above, so asked to get a room on higher floor next day. However, the key cards not working from time to time. The elevator out of order one morning, I told the staff, a young slim woman, she has no expression and told me to keep waiting for the elevator, later I found out it's out of order and I told this staff, she said she knew and ran away. I told her the keys not working, she fixed it and kept quiet. Most of the staff were friendly except her. read more

This hotel is conveniently located, but that is all that I found to be good about the hotel. The hotel needs MAJOR renovations. The carpeting thought out is disgusting to say the least. Beds are very uncomfortable as are the pillows. Toilet seat was broken. I hope not to ever return unless these issues are corrected. read more

This hotel has seriously gone down hill since I last stayed here. The staff is friendly, however nothing has been updated in YEARS and the hotel is showing its age. The only clean carpets are in the lobby and halls. The carpet in our room is dirty and stained. Glad we all packed extra socks because I would not want to step on it in bare feet. The shower is showing its age, the cover for the pipe wouldn't stay in place and it wasn't 100% clean. Nothing like being in the shower and finding a bunch of hair stuck to the wall that wasn't mine. Does anyone know if it's a country wide building code that all outlets by water must be GFI? If so this place is not up to code. If you stay in the winter be forewarned that you'll need to keep the curtains closed at all times. The windows in our room were single pane glass, drafty, and the only thing keeping the cold air out is the blackout curtain. Also, unless you have a 4 wheele drive, you can forget parking in the underground covered parking in the winter. Upon check in the front desk staff told us we would get stuck in the garage because the drive ices over. So no covered parking for us. Big drag when it's either raining or snowing. While we didn't hear any noise coming from rooms on either side of us, maybe from lack of guests, we could hear the guest staying directly above us walking around all the time! No insulation between the floors. The "deluxe" breakfast is actually a continental one: 2 types of cold cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, three types of breads that could be toasted, bananas, tangerines, coffee and orange juice. It will suffice, but certainly not deluxe by any means. The only reason we stayed here was it is smoke free, and was in much better shape the last time we stayed here years ago. After we got into town and saw the room I looked around online and realized for the same price I paid we could have stayed at MUCH nicer, newer hotel. I will not be coming back again. read more

Hello the 1960s would like their beds back! Omg the beds are horrible. Why do you have such horrible beds? Other than getting no sleep because the bed was so bad the place is ok. Every time we flushed the toilet it squealed for about 2 mins, wonderful when you already can't sleep and then someone used the bathroom in the middle of the night. Great location cute outside. But the yeah, until you upgrade the beds I won't be coming back. read more

I stay here every year when I m in town for this endurance run in Tahoe. Room is pretty spacious and clean, they have a little fridge and a microwave in every room, although the furnitures are kind of outdated and the TV is pretty small, but other than that, it's a decent place to stay in Carson City. The owner told me that if you book with them thru the phone rather than thru 3rd party like Travelocity, she could give you a better rate. So keep that in mind next time you wanna stay here. read more

Upside: Great friendly staff and location. Easy 1 to 2 block walk to coffee cafe's / pubs / restaurant district and a very good museum.. Larger than usual rooms and comfortable beds. Free parking under hotel. Downside: Old. Hotel hasn't been updated for 40 years it seems. TV was only 21st century addition. Constant high pitched electrical / machine whine. Advertised free breakfast but instead you got a sack with an orange, fruit bar and bottle of water.. Hotel needs an upgrade.. read more

I booked for 2 nights in July of 2022. Room was OK, but in the corridor the carpet was filty, ripped, stained, the hard floors by elevators are filty, and it makes you want to clean the floors for them. Come on people, clean the floors, replace the carpet, make it a presentable place. This is the 2nd time I stayed here and the first time it wasn't this bad! Their happy hour was coffee, Dollar Tree cookies and white and red wine. Please folks, if you are going to advertise this as a "special attraction, keep the coffee fresh, put 1/2 and 1/2 out and make the cookies something special. You want to get people to come back, give them something nice to remember!!!!! read more

It's okay. Good location. Needs major upgrade. The hotel is charming on the outside but the furniture, beds, carpeting, air conditioning, etc is very outdated. Breakfast is included which is nice. Coffee, tea, ice cold water. Wine and cookies from 4-6 pm is a nice touch for tired guests driving from far. For one night I guess it was okay. read more

Stayed here for a weekend to attend my son's wedding. Terrible mistake. Very outdated, which I can understand, but so dirty. My 16mo grandson was walking around without shoes in the room and his feet were black from the dirt. I had to wash his feet and left his shoes on after that. We all wore our shoes for the rest of the stay. The beds are horrible, old spring mattress and squeaky. The shower head was so low and I'm only 5'4. The lampshades were broken and some lights didn't work. Highly disappointed. Don't stay here. read more

Very nice hotel. Choice of covered or uncovered parking. A short walk to the Capitol and casinos. A light continental breakfast. The bed was comfortable the room was pleasant, as was the staff As this is an older building today's travelers would do well to bring a power strip for charging electronics. If I were to be back in Carson City I most likely would stay here again read more

Picked this place on the spur while passing through Carson City. Big mistake. Old and outdated in furnishings, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. carpets look like multiple murders have taken place. Lamp doesn't work. Dried up beetle found between bed sheets. Door of room across the hall has brown-stained towels laying on bottom of door to keep something nasty inside?? read more

The beds were awful. They smelled strange and they were very hard. We straight up left in the middle of the night because we couldn't sleep. When the front receptionist asked me why we were leaving I told her the beds and she said "I guess you'll only be comfortable sleeping in your own beds," which I found incredible rude and unnecessary, especially when I was still paying $80 bucks for essentially one shower. read more
