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. On-site amenities at the Best Western Minden Inn include an eight-screen cinema, hair salon, coffee house, three fast food businesses, Denny's restaurant and the Oriental excellence of the Mandarin Gourmet. For in-house convenience there is, a launderette and all rooms offer satellite television. Microwaves, refrigerators, irons and hairdryers are available with plenty of parking for all types of vehicles. Add to this a complimentary continental breakfast in our lobby, year-round outdoor heated pool and complimentary shuttle service to the valley's largest gaming establishment. 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.

Cold night near snow resorts

We were not given keys, which I thought was creepy. The heater in the room did not work. A default alarm woke us up at 7am. If you have a trip planned to kirkwood, do yourself a favor, don't stay here.

Business trip

Picked it based on location. Good Value. Continental breakfast was minimal compared to others but the price compensated. Good restaurants in the area[but too much food]. Satello's, TJ's at the hotel next to Sharkey's, Danny's right next to hotel had an excellent eggs bennedict. Good salad bar and so so Philly cheese. Had a problem with the sink and it was repaired within an hour

Twice a great stay!

Minden is a cute little town and the Best Western is a great place to stay when there. It's a bit outside of the city center which is the only reason I rated it slightly lower on location (I was on foot for part of this trip as I was sharing with others in the party) but the pool was nice and the rooms are very clean and well taken care of.

Bicycling trip

Was starting point for a bicycling trip to Mammoth Lakes. Easy to find off of US395, very hospitable personnel, good sized and clean rooms. Lots of parking for oversized vehicles and trailers. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Value!

Minden was a stop on our way from Death Valley to home. We wanted a clean place that I would feel comfortable laying my head (and my kiddo's) and this hotel couldn't have been more appropriate. This was an amazing value! The staff was friendly and our room was quiet, comfortable and the continental breakfast was wonderful.

Very pet friendly and good location

Check in seems to be a bit slow at this hotel, but the staff is friendly and trys to please. Good location between Carson City and Lake Tahoe, as well as Gardnerville and Minden. Price was very reasonable.
