    Steak and eggs
    Teah S.

    Stopped here for a quick bite to eat with a few friends. Friendly staff, extensive menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. On top of the food, great casino games with a relaxing atmosphere.

    This update is for the coffee shop restaurant only. They have remodeled this restaurant after a kitchen fire. It's open and really nice. However their menu has changed bid out it more on par with a Dennys now. Their bargain meals are not available. Breakfast came in at $26 for two. It's still a great stop on 395 If you find this review helpful please vote!

    The lodge

    Waited to be seated. Asked if we could have the table with the lake view & the hostess replied, "you can see the lake from here." Spoiled my appetite. We left. The menu wasn't all that great & the prices would be ok if service was better.

    I really hate to do this because I am a business owner as well and I don't usually leave bad reviews, however I have to share our experience. My husband booked this hotel and I had never been here. When we got to our room, it felt like I walked into 1980. When we pulled the bedspread back it was riddled with yellow stains, the blanket underneath was full of long black hairs. Someone trimmed their facial hair and that hair was still on the bathroom counter. We were charged $175 a night for this disaster of a room. This location is amazing and we had a beautiful view of the lake and the cafe downstairs was really good food. They need to update their rooms, bedding and make sure all rooms are clean. I would love to come back here and support this establishment, but they have to work on their rooms first. I am ok with old, but it needs to be clean.

    Beautiful valentine's day table set up for our large group

    We had a large group from Reno NV come in for Valentine's Day. The management was absolutely amazing with what they did for us. The General Manager came in and spoke with us asking if there was anything we needed. Alfonzo put a great menu together for us. Lilly was our outstanding server. She never missed a beat. Served our meal with professionalism and amazing speed. She was also very fun. The management was kind enough to let us bring our own wine and champagne for a very small corkage fee. Good thing, because we had a lot of both. There was a beautiful view of the lake from every room, from our private dining room, in the bar that night, and even in the the coffee shop the next morning. To put up with our large group with such ease and finesse was quite an undertaking. Beautiful place, wonderful service and great communication. An amazing memory for all of us.

    Outdated interior

    It appears safe but the pool isn't working and it's 15 miles south or the services In Gardnerville. I asked for directions to the pool and the the check in lady said that I didn't need them because the pool was closed. When I mentioned that is one of the reasons I booked this over the other locations in Gardnerville she stated I could just jump in the lake if I wanted to swim but with an attitude and was short with me. She didn't mention any directions to the lake or what the hotel has to offer. She is the front check in person and the club card person so I guess she is used to being not nice. I just wish someone would have left a real review like this so I could have stayed somewhere else. I used to sell furniture and the cheap rebuilt bunk mattresses were better quality than what I'm laying on. Im laying here feeling the springs so I'm having trouble sleeping and that is why I am writing this review. If you are looking to stay at the lake in a run down hotel stay here, this place has potential and the views and the property are nice. I value a bed over most things, my son thought the bed was bouncy yet comfortable so it is what it is. I actually thought Carson Valley was a bit run down last time I stayed there and actually thought this was going to be nicer, I was wrong. I went to visit family, I'm sleeping here and I'm so thankful this is just for 1 night!

    We stayed at the extended stays at the motor lodge next door. Be aware - you have to register at…read morethe casino as the office for the motor lodge hasn't been used in years. Basically our room was two rooms that have been converted into a suite that has a kitchen, little dining island, living room, and a separate bedroom and bathroom. It has two doors to enter, so a little weird but honestly, super practical. The rooms were very quiet and I couldn't hear any noise from any neighbors. The shower was great and the water stayed super hot through both of our showers. The room was spacious and clean (though the floor could have been swept/mopped better imo). The first night we were there, someone got sick in the parking lot. I called the operator and explained the situation and asked if they had anyone to clean it up as it wasn't exactly what anyone wants to see and to my surprise they immediately sent someone out who was able to clean up that spot! Thank you!! The casino is small, but had some good games. Overall, I'd stay here again.

We have stayed in the hotel a couple times as well. We're pretty satisfied with both areas. This time we're staying in the motor lodge section of CVI. It's ok. Not our favorite. The room needs a lot of updating. It's a little dingy in some areas and it's not as clean as we expected it to be. Curtains have hooks missing and signs of stains. Bathroom rusting in some spots and exhaust fan cover just hanging to dear life. It's a nice location and it's walking distance to a lot of places. Oh also, the walls are super thin. We can hear our neighbors talking clearly. It's like they're just in our bathroom at 1 point their conversation was so clear. This motor lodge had a lot of potential so please please CVI management please consider updating and give the rooms some attention. It's going to be really bad in a couple of months if it's not attended to asap. Love love love CVI. Staff is 110% helpful and kind!!! Save the motor lodge. Do t let it be an afterthought

The rooms: gorgeous: they have historic artifacts all over the place and there's a gold rush era vibe here. Indeed their pet friendly and there's a park close by where you can walk your little furry fuzzbutt. I love a child where you can actually park right in front of your room and you don't have to ride elevators or go up numerous lights and stairs carrying everything because I feel like sometimes you get worn out playing all day and then you get to your hotel and it's even more struggle so having the car 10 feet from the door is one of my favorite things about hotels like this. The view is pretty killer: you can see Jobs Peak from Eddy St and that is one of the most picturesque sites you can have in this town. It is snow covered even in the early summer and reminds you that Tahoe and Kirkwood are just around half an hour drive away. When the hotels in Tahoe are full, this is a good back up location to come stay. Try to make it out to Topaz Lake if you can. I found the staff here to be friendly and I had to interact with them several times because the key card will immediately get degaussed if it comes anywhere near your phone. I'm guessing it's the MagSafe feature of the iPhone that is erasing the hotel card but I can tell you I've erased three and I've only been here 15 hours! So that's why I don't give it. Five stars is that they really need to come up with the way that you can carry both your hotel room key and your iPhone in the same pocket I think. For now, put your iPhone in one pocket and put your room key cards in the other and keep them separated "you gotta keep em separated"

And from the Deck, the expansive view of the Carson Valley is stunning and soothing. Every time I come up, there's the latest talk about folks trying to make Genoa a "Destination". The area certainly seems to do nice Wedding business, and I particularly enjoy hanging out at the Genoa Bar. There are also a few nice places to eat such as La Ferme. Past that, it's my sense that this particular marketing plan isn't working as well as it should. David Walley's Resort recently went through a management change during an interesting "quiet" period and the relatively recent "Genoa Square" development is only left with the Dancing Deer and a reopened Genoa Country Inn. The Genoa Coffee & Candy Company was the latest closure, with the rumour that the landlord forced them out due to complaints of coffee odors (?) wafting through the hotel rooms. Oy. The Genoa Country Inn has 11 rooms and is a nice place with wi-fi and the usual other amenities (including view). It's an easy walk to anywhere within the Genoa Town Site, and if you just want peace and quiet, this place may be a good choice for you. However, if you want a little "excitement", South Lake Tahoe is a winding drive over the Kingsbury Grade, and greater Carson City or the "Twin Cities" of Minden and Gardnerville are all easy rides. Just watch the occasional speed trap on Jacks Valley Road.

There's also a nice table and chairs, a modest TV, and a terrific balcony with an outstanding view. Our bathroom, as well as the bedroom (and everything else), was very clean. Everything works great in the room also, and we had no complaints, except maybe that the bed was a little uncomfortable. My husband had trouble sleeping but I can sleep on pretty much anything pretty happily. I'll be sad when 11 o'clock rolls around and we check out. This Inn is conveniently located in the center of a town and area that I would like to spend a little more time day-exploring. Looks like an excellent reason to come back!
