Local Attractions
Minden is a world class soaring location, but any summer morning one also can enjoy the sight of hot air balloons drifting across the colorful morning sky. Outdoors is a way of life here. Hiking and horseback riding are popular venues while fisherman must decide among Lake Tahoe 16 miles west, Lake Topaz 25 miles south, scores of smaller high country lakes and the clear cool streams that decorate the landscape. On the dryer side, Carson Valley is proud of the four excellent golf courses within its boundaries and is less than 30 minutes away from a dozen more

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Staff was great!"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Everything was good except the property clearly needs major renovations. The balcony is obviously structurally compromised and very scary to walk on. Appears they are trying to keep the rooms nice but they are not cleaned well and have damage and are old. The structural issues were very concerning to all us guests that stayed on the second floor. Breakfast was good. The property was dirty outside. Definitely not worth the price.

started with getting there. Hotel is on 395, but the turn onto the street is poorly marked and no signal. this makes a left turn difficult. Check in was good, but and the room itself was clean. However the heater/ air conditioner thermostat doesn't work. (if you set heat to 72 it will continue to heat until you turn it off, even if it goes to 85. If you turn the cooling to 65, it will keep going until you turn it off at 60. and the heater fan is very loud. There is no way to turn lights on or off at the door, so you have to leave a light on all the time if you are coming back to the room after dark. the TV did NOT work (no signal) on the first day. It did work on the second, but there is no guide so you have to either know exactly what you want to watch and find it and guess if you want to watch a movie. There was a personal coffee pot which is nice, but only had coffee (some of us drink tea). The microwave and mini fridge worked well. The hair dryer worked well. the shower worked Okay water hot and after a few minutes, would switch to the shower mode from "bathtub mode), but it did take it's sweet time doing that despite switching the control over at the start. I did feel safe and the room was quiet, but the parking lot was VERY dark and a lot of plant debris was in the lot at the back. The staff was pleasant HOWEVER the Nevada rules apparently require a mask and the receptionist is partially deaf and lip reads (apparently the hotel never heard of the ADA and this made it a bit hard on the receptionist). If you are offering free breakfast, this IS NOT go to desk, get the attention of the clerk, use a little menu to pick what food they have offered (no muffins, but they had "pasteries" undefined). no hot water avail at the breakfast area. While the hotel gets a plus for friendly staff, clean room and safe, I expect better than this alone for the cost.

There was supposed to be a free breakfast and all we found was coffee. Will not stay at a Quality Inn & Suites again. The room I got was neither a suite, nor quality. This is a two star hotel at best.

Advertised pool not in operation, carpet dirty, no wash cloths, two TVs not working, no fridge, entry light switch not working, no hot water in am, pipe burst. Needed staff to come to room four times to attempt to correct things. Not a restful experience or enjoyable evening! After all that, when we requested a refund they said they would not charge our Visa but the card was charged anyway. A refund is yet to be issued.! Management is dragging its feet. Would not recommend staying here.! Staff was unresponsive and careless.

08-Jul-2015 Verified Review Property Description
The Best Western Minden Inn is located in beautiful Carson Valley. Carson Valley was historically the staging arena for adventurers as they prepared to cross the high mountain passes on their way to the gold fields of California.Here was the opportunity to rest while enjoying the typical semi-arid climate. This charming valley continues that heritage today. Carson Valley is home of the first Nevada settlement, neighbor to Carson City, 45 miles from Reno, 30 miles from the Comstock and Virginia City as well as just 16 miles from Lake Tahoe. Throughout the area, you can find charming shops and great antique treasures. Though famous for its Basque restaurants, many visitors find their way to exciting continental, in addition to, ethnic cuisine along the one and only Main Street, Highway 395.
