The room seemed clean enough but as soon as we walked in I asked my wife if she would be all right. She was not. There was a strong smell of dust / mold or something that can't be masked. During the night she had an asthma attack and had to use her inhalers. We left early. She still has not recovered.

I'm not sure how this location got such good reviews. When you pull up to the property it truly looks like it's condemned and ready for demolition. Half of the property is blocked off and unusable. The pool is an empty hole in the ground. I don't know where the pictures of the property were taken because I never saw that waterfall area. I will say my room was very clean. The refrigerator and microwave worked well. It was quiet and I never felt unsafe even though the property looked like a place you would find a dead body. They offered a small coffee pot. The rooms are VERY old! The whole place smells like damp. If you are looking for an adequate place to sleep with no frills, this is the place is for you. It is definitely not a luxury accommodation.

I chose this for my significant other and I to stay in and be in for the first night together when he came home. I'm not sure if he enjoyed it, he probably did - maybe he didn't, but what I loved was how we stayed together and we did not argue or yell at each other.

Not what I expected

So I booked this hotel for its historic vibe with a cute pool area and balcony. Turns out the hotel is under Reno and half the hotel, including the pool is unavailable indefinitely, According to hotel staff. I requested a room change because the first one smelled terrible of cigarette and the tub didn’t drain. Also the rooms only come with one full-size towel which are very small. The second room didn’t smell so that was good but the beds aren’t really comfortable so it was hard to sleep. I recommend spending a little more and going for a different option

Mostly the hotel was under construction and remodeling. Also, the swimming pool was out of service due to it falling apart. There was no breakfast or any other amenities. Just the basics.

Front desk attendants were nice and polite. Building was being renovated on one side of the property. Room was quite, clean, gave a retro 70s, 80s feel with the furniture and bathroom fixtures. The room did not have a phone. The pool was not open. The cafe was not a part of the hotel. Open for breakfast and lunch only.
