I love Hardman House. All employees are great. I stay once a year from 3 to 6 nights. Perfect location. Feel safe and comfortable. Not high end, but really nice. Outdated but charming. read more

Stopped here on a trip through the Sierras and didn't really want to stay at a chain hotel. Reviews of Hardman House were good so we gave it a try and are glad we did. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was decent and the high flow showers were awesome. If I had to compare this to a chain, I'd say it's similar to Best Western. We'd stay if we return to the area. I also agree that the website photos don't represent the place well. I'll upload some of my own pics here. read more

Despite all the reviews of disappointment that I had read prior to booking here, I still took a chance on the place based upon the positive reviews that I did see posted. The place is a three story brick building that is very well insulated from the 17° degree cold morning that I woke up to on the day I was scheduled for checking out. There is a slight stale of cigarette smoke in the hallways, but it wasn't too overpowering. Probably a couple more deep cleanings might reduce it further. The front desk lady who checked me in at the start of the visit was very friendly and she went over the spiel of information about the morning continental breakfast and afternoon cookies that are complimentary for guests. The room itself in which I had stayed in is small, but comfortably cozy for two people. In the room there is a large bed, a small table for two, night stands, a large dresser, an HDTV (but with standard definition cable service), a microwave and mini-fridge, an iron and ironing board, a hair dryer. The place is showing some of it's old age, but it does appear the staff is doing a good job with the upkeep and maintenance of the property. It is clean and inviting for the stay. I will definitely keep this place in mind for the future when I might be in town again. read more

This place is just like a motel 6, except pricier. It has a stale smokey smell and is noticeably creepy. I will not be staying here again. Pros: Friendly staff, free parking, free continental breakfast Cons: Stinky, old hotel; dirty stained floors; weird energy read more

I needed a room at last minute due to a family emergency. Not knowing how long I would be in town I was looking for a place that wouldn't break the bank, especially if I had to stay several weeks. I didn't want to stay in a casino. In the past I never had any luck at casinos with the noise or the smell of old food and smoke. I remembered the Hardman House from decades ago when passing through Carson City. I saw the online price and knew I couldn't pay that if I had to stay more than 2 weeks, plus I had a rental car and plane ticket to consider. I called the hotel directly and spoke with a lady that understood my situation. She dropped the price to less than $45/night. I was thrilled. When I arrived, they had everything ready for me. My room was very neat & clean, most of all it was very quiet. I never heard any neighbors talking or T.V.'s. The beds were very comfortable and I was out like a light every night. I always had hot water instantly and was on the top floor. The reason I did not give a 5th star is due to the phone system. My cell phone battery died and I tried to call out of state with their phone. Since I no longer have a calling card I wanted to bill the call to my room. In this situation I had to have the front desk make the call for me and then ring my room. Otherwise, the staff was very friendly and always asking if the room was fine or if I needed anything else. I would most definitely recommend the Hardman House for your stay! read more

Jan 4th 2014, Staff is awesome! I carry a lot of camera gear in the car and they had me park in the basement right in front of the video camera. The room was a corner room that in my month of traveling was the biggest, nice bathroom/shower. Close in town so could walk to the capital and other buildings. Not a far drive to Virginia City. The staff and the room were so nice I decided to stay three days and even thought about staying longer. Definitely stay here! read more

Wow. This was single-handedly the worst customer experience I've had at a hotel. First - the online price was 30% MORE than the walk-in price. Once we got there, an abrupt man behind the counter barked at my boyfriend when he inquired about adjusting the price. This guy turned out to be the OWNER! Imagine the owner if a hotel threatening a customer! When we got back to the room, the beds were so hard and uncomfortable that we were both up half the night. There are tons of options right around here that are better and cheaper. You might consider going elsewhere. read more

Old and outdated decor not withstanding the only thing it has going for it is it's location. Staff seemed like they would rather be somewhere else. They never changed our reservation in the system when we called and moved weekends. Unfortunately, they still had a king suite for us. Room was spacious. TVs are small and the mattress was new in 1970. The sink was dirty as well as the toilet. Only 2 bath towels and no extra linen so when I moved to the couch to sleep I had to use my 2 damp towels. It does have AC which was working. The "breakfast" was laid out on the check in counter with stale pastries and coffee with powered creamer. Won't be staying here ever again. read more

When we booked the hotel, it was labeled as an Ascend property. We had stayed in a hotel owned/managed by this company before and it was absolutely amazing (Peery Hotel in SLC). Upon arrival, late at night, there was no parking left. We were able to find a spot in an underground garage beneath the property, but so many people were double parked, there was only one space left there as well. Obviously nobody checks the garage and makes people park appropriately. The room was very spacious, but very dated. The bed was awful and had zero fluff to it at all. The shower head was so low, I had to pull it up so it was just pounding the back of my head, or get into a full blown squat position to rinse my hair. The outside of the building is beautiful and the location was close to food. We slept in and missed the breakfast so I cannot speak for that. It was a decent spot to sleep and shower, but I would definitely not stay here again. read more

I booked a room here for my sister and her kids. She said the staff was extremely friendly. The room is nice, but don't expect luxury hotel it's a good place to lay your head down and the price is affordable. The breakfast they offer was decent from what she told me. She also said when she checked in they had wine and cookies. read more

After a trip to Seattle, the work trip whirlwind continued & it was on to Carson City. It was quite challenging looking for a hotel close to where we need to be but still close to civilization. When this hotel kept showing up in our searches, we decided to go for it. On the surface the hotel looks a bit old & dated, but it had all of the essentials; including complimentary wi-fi & continental breakfast. The staff on the premises were friendly but got defensive very quickly when my co-worker informed the front desk that the sower in her room wasn't working properly. For the price we paid ($65) & the amenities we received, we got a great bargain & it served the purposes of our business trip. read more

Nice, clean, simple, centrally located. What more do we need? OK, I guess sometimes we need a bit more luxury, but this time I didn't. I'd made my reservation on Expedia and when I arrived, the clerk (who was new) couldn't find my reservation anywhere, but looked at my confirmation and made sure I got a room at the price at which I'd booked. No complaints about the room. Complimentary breakfast buffet is the usual. I appreciated it. read more

Basic but comfortable rooms, friendly staff, great location, awesome price. What more could a traveler passing through want? Its a cozy place that should meet all your needs for a good time in Carson city. Sure, it doesn't have room service. But it is within easy walking distance of the best restaurants and museums Carson has to offer. They were very accommodating during my stay and I felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was there. I am more than pleased with this cute little hotel! read more

This hotel was a big disappointment to my family! My husband and I and our granddaughter had a suite and my daughter and her husband had a king room. First thing I noticed was towels only for 2 there were 3 in our room. Also there was dried blood on my husband side under where the pillow was, we did not notice it until the next morning! The light in the entrance to our room was not there just a switch! The room was very dirty floors had not been cleaned, when our great grandson came over he too his socks off within ten minutes his feet were black! There were bees and bugs near the windows on the floor. Burn marks from an iron on the bedroom floor! The refrigerator door was broken would not shut had to use a chair as we had meds that needed to be cold! The light switch in the living room area had a broken switch you had to try to turn it on which wasn't easy. The plug for the coffee pot would only work when you put a cup under the cord to make it stay in!! The elevator was buzzing loudly and the doors almost shut on you when you were trying g to get it. The continental breakfast was a hard boiled egg breakfast bar and water! Nothing else to say! Big money for a very dirty room!!! read more

Well, where do I begin. The place is located in a nice enough area and the ladies at the front desk are nice. But that's about all the good stuff. Rooms are dated, I can feel the spring coming out of the mattress and it still smells like stale smoke. The free WiFi won't connect and the lady at the front desk couldn't tell me which one to use. There is cable, a mini fridge and a liquor store super close by. So if you're here for just a night to rest up and shower in the morning I guess it's ok. ($55.00 so I really can't complain too much) Anything longer I wouldn't recommend. read more

Dude worst bed ever! I'm not kidding like my cot at 6th grade camp. Me and my partner so uncomfortable...and you people on here saying what a great breakfast selection should lose your posting rights ,it was on the low end of the cold continental special, ya it's some thing but not what a few folks said here only a month ago... LIARS. read more

My wife was kept awake for several hours in the middle of the night by a couple fighting in the next room. She called the front desk three times and they did nothing other than to call the couple and ask them to be quiet. This is appropriate as a first reaction, but after this went on for over three hours, they should have done something more effective. Worse, it appears that this couple live in the motel and this is a recurring situation. At a minimum, my wife should have been offered a refund. Apparently other guests are not as important as retaining this fighting couple. Stay away!! read more

The rooms are outdated with ONE outlet and horrible eyesore decor. Breakfast is sad and depressing, with cheap plates that broke immediately. The whole place just feels like a retirement home... yikes. Everyone there seems like they about to keel over any minute now and the front office workers are in the same boat. Overall not a pleasant experience read more

One night in this place was enough for a lifetime. Towels were worn and wratty, old out dated toilet backed up twice because the water level was not set high enough to make it work properly, sink drained very slowly, bath tub shower drained very slowly, the lounge chair if you sit in it you could not get out of it easily. Ceiling tiles outside the bathroom area were cracked and broken and barely looked like they are holding in. The breakfast food was almost as bad as the room yogurt tasted old and was set in a bowl with no ice or refrigeration to keep it cold, bagels tasted stale, cereal also tasted stale. Wound up going out for breakfast because what the hotel had for guests was terrible. I recommend this place if you are low on money because you lost a lot gambling otherwise if you can afford something better do not stay here. read more

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon in 2007. It was a great experience. 2 years ago, my wife took me there for our 9 year anniversary on June 1st. It was part of recreating our wedding/honeymoon. She was 8 months pregnant with our 4th child. We arrived around 9pm and checked into our room. My wife had requested a room away from others, because we wanted to sleep in (believe me, sound sleep without kids is a great commodity). The room was on the third floor in the back. When we entered, the thermostat read 94 degrees. I immediately turned on the under-window AC unit. After sitting in the oppressive heat for about 45 minutes, the thermostat read 87 degrees. My wife asked if I minded changing rooms. I definitely did not. We asked for a new room, and were granted one on the 2nd floor. When we started the room was 87 degrees. Again, after turning on the AC unit, the room said 80 degrees. We finally fell asleep around 1130pm. At 130am, the fire alarm started to chirp because of a low battery. I ignored it for an hour, then called the front desk. She apologized and told me that she would have a maintenance person look at it when they came in a 8am. As you might understand, that did not seem to satisfy me, but she insisted there was nothing else she could do. We waited until 4am, then checked out. The room was still at 79 degrees. We told her we were unhappy with our stay, she apologized and told us that sometimes these things happen. We went to Dunkin' Donuts and headed home. My wife felt terrible (in several ways) despite my reassurance that it was not her fault. We had a great evening the night before, I am very sorry that the Hardman House and their staff ruined the relaxing time we were supposed to enjoy. I will never recommend or stay there again. read more

Upset with the service! Given the hazardous weather conditions in my state, I was not able to travel to Nevada over the weekend. After attempting to explain the situation to your front desk, I was assured I'd be expecting a call back from the manager the next day. After waiting a day, I decided to call back to find out she was now off for the next two days..okay, so even after your usual "Sunday and Monday off" being Wednesday night, I'd expect a call by now. If you can't give me your time, I have choice but to seek out someone that will. read more

Just a great place. Really large room with a quiet air conditioner (not always found in Nevada). Very good breakfast with healthy choices. Underground parking helps keep the car cool during summer. Highly recommend this when using Priceline. read more

If you like fresh air from outside the hotel this "Hotel" will suit you just fine. In the winter time bring extra clothes. Summer time you might as well camp out somewhere else. A/C not working!! After two hours in the room it started to warm up. Room temp is 80 deg and very humid. Bath exhaust fan not working and sounds like a lawn mower. Granted its still over 100 deg outside. I checked the A/C intake and it's so dirty the louvered intake is covered with dirt an mold, almost completely blocking any air flow. I brought it to the attn of the desk clerk, (Another guest was standing there complaining of the same problem.) so she came to the room and climbed up on a chair and had a look at it. I told her anyone in the room is going to be breathing the mold and dirt, very unhealthy! She said, all the rooms were just checked by their maintenance company and they checked everything out ok! She said the thermostats are preset and cannot be adjusted. There's nothing she can do about it! Her suggestion was, "just open the windows"! This is the end of July the whole valley is full of smoke from the fire in Yosemite and elsewhere. So either you breath moldy air from the room or smokey air from outside! If you have a laptop or phone you want to plug-in be aware their are only two receptacle's in the whole room. You'll find they are extremely overloaded and the possibility is very real you could damage anything you plug-in. Unless you go without lights, clock, TV, Etc. If you don't have allergies you probably will and end up planning a trip to your doctor after your stay! If you still plan to book a room bring your flashlight to check the intake. And appropriate clothing for that outdoor experience. Maybe you'll get lucky and get the room that was really serviced?? read more

Always a highlight of any trip to Carson City. No frills and old but clean, charming, and absolutely fabulous service. Just spent $52/night for customer service that was at least as good as, if not better than, any $250/night hotel I've stayed at. read more

Very nice and clean place. Room was big. Bed was comfortable. Had a small refrigerator and microwave in the room. Finishes were a bit worn in places but you had to look for them. Nice gathering place in the lobby with tables and chairs. Coffee (weak) always available and wine and cookies in the evening. Front desk clerk was very friendly. Over all very pleased. read more

Price was right. Then the nightmare began. Room lighting was bad lamps only, bed mattress from the 60's no padding just springs . After trying to sleep on this thing we gave up at 1 am in the morning. Made coffee got dressed now we're heading back to Oregon. Just as I sit down to have coffee the power goes out time to go. Had to use my cellphone flashlight to get out of the room and go down the stairs to have the front desk tell me we can move you.How about give me a good bed in the first place. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Clean rooms, friendly service. Charming interior. I really liked my stay here and I will honestly come back. I felt really safe.

Enjoyed amount of space and comfort in the room. Nothing special (except the freshly made cookies at front desk). Nothin super special that you may get at an expensive hotel, but this hotel is less than half the price.l. Clean, friendly, comfortable, and well=priced ... read more

Nice price and clean room. Super-friendly staff. The worst part was that I got "tasered" by the woolen blanket when I was trying to separate it from the blanket at night. Try to separate them in total darkness. It was a lightening show. 10/10. Would do again! read more

I'll give this place 3 Yelp stars, but it's a 2 star hotel. We had a mini-suite - the other rooms were sold out. Non-smoking - which was very nice! Check-in was quick, the room was clean - a bit dated - but nice enough. An old CRT TV, mini-fridge and a nice coffee maker round out the amenities. It's a great location if you want to be downtown - you're about 2 blocks from the Nugget casino. In this price range you're going to be hard pressed to find anything better. Bottom line - I'd stay here again in a heartbeat! read more

We were just passing through town after a week long road trip, with a teething toddler. I was calling about 30 mins ahead, which was the first time we'd done that all trip, and called them because they were getting good reviews online. We'd already stayed in some crappy motels, so I wasn't expecting much with a name like "Hardman" or "Motor Inn", especially after the front desk told me it was $60 for the night for a king size bed. We just hoped there was edible food nearby the hotel as the kid was getting cranky about spending yet another long day in the car seat. We get there and are surprised at how cute and quaint it looks on the outside and that there is underground parking. We were able to avail ourselves of a valet cart to get our stuff up to the room. The room was *right next* to the soda machines, but we were well sound-proofed from it. It's ridiculous they only charged $60 for the room. It was large enough for us, our gear, the pack 'n play, and for the toddler to toddle. If they'd had tile on the bathroom floor instead of linoleum, I'd easily have expected to pay $100 and been happy to do it. It was clean, quiet, well-lit, and within walking distance of an excellent Italian restaurant (Bsghettis - recommend by the hotel) for dinner, and a decent breakfast place (Heidi's). We would absolutely go here again. read more

Friendly staff. Clean. That's the good part. Beds were very uncomfortable. "Decor" ghastly. A/C adequate but insanely noisy. Food abysmal. Could not have been uglier. Meh! read more

The first thing bad happened immediately after our checking--went to our room and discovered the room hadn't been cleaned. Went back to Front Desk with the problem. It took the desk clerk nearly 15 minutes to assign us another room. This room was SO hot, we couldn't sleep during the night, despite turning the thermostat to 50 degrees. The Continental breakfast consisted of coffee, your choice of 3 types of bread to toast and orange juice and yogurt. Guess we expected more. The price was our determining factor for making reservations two weeks in advance. When we complained about the heat problem when we checked out, we were told since we had paid in advance they couldn't give us a discount. They did offer an apology, though. read more

A quiet and clean place to stay while passing through carson city. A nice walk to downtown. Had dinner at the brewpub all good

Clean, simple, and convenient! Coming back from the burn we needed a place to shower and rest up from the rough week we had. Staff was amazing and very accommodating despite our rough appearance! Beds are comfortable and the free continental breakfast in the morning was grand! Would definitely come back and recommend to other burners! read more

Pricey for what you get. Hard bouncy beds, thin sheets, uninformed proprietors, elevator programmed to stop at every floor.

This place is a real dump. The rooms are seedy and dirty. The housekeeping service was very poor. It has very poor handicapped access so if this is something that you need you will want to stay elsewhere. There is one handicapped parking space, but unless you want to carry all of your gear around to the other side of the hotel, where there is no parking, there is no ramp available. There is technically a second handicapped parking space, but it is so far away from the front door that it is worse than useless. There is no place to park temporarily while you register as there is at most hotels. There are no grab bars in the showers or other items that would help a handicapped guest. They advertise a deluxe breakfast, but there is no such thing unless you consider a banana and a small cup of yogurt to be a deluxe breakfast. We returned to the hotel after our first day's outings and our keys would not work. I had to return down stairs to the front desk and wait about 30 minutes in a long line to get my keys reactivated. I was informed that my keys were expired even though we booked a three night stay. read more

Although this is the only place I have stayed in Carson City, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better one. It is as cheap or cheaper than the other shady motels in the neighborhood, most of which turn half their outdoor lights off fit some reason, what does that mean??? We paid $49+ tax. It was very clean, nice amenities in the rooms, the staff was very courteous, and all the rooms are accessed by an interior lobby which makes the place safe. read more

Great price and location. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and comfortable, great views of Carson City, which looks and feels like a vaguely bad dream, or maybe one of Breaking Bad's bleaker more foreboding episodes...but in a good way. Excellent value and would recommend. Actually, it felt like we were staying in a giant semi-abandoned funeral home....which I personally liked because I actually worked my way through college nights/weekends in a very busy funeral home, so to me, it was perfectly acceptable. Atmospheric. In a good way. read more

made a last minute booking com. Booking com specifically lets you make reservations without being charged. The front desk agent when i first came in tried to charge the room even before I got there. I changed reservation to another room and decided to check in later. Could not check in because we changed our mind. They charged me and would not let me have my luggage on hold before I paid! I can see charging when there are a few rooms left in the hotel BUT the motel was empty. This place is hungary for cash. I gave them the 50 but will never go back! read more
