I was so pleasantly surprised with the Carson Valley Inn! I was in the area for a wedding and we chose this for convenience over anything else, but it honestly exceeded our expectations.
As is any casino, it was very smokey everywhere, however, it was completely clean and clear in our non-smoking room. Our room was basic from a design aspect, but it was very clean. The AC worked wonderfully, the bed was surprisingly SUPER comfortable, and the shower had the most amazing shower pressure!
The casino was very fun, and the drinks were SO cheap. It was lovely!
The staff was (mostly) wonderful. They dont handle themselves under stress of a big check in (not for myself personally but noticed it when waiting to check in - but for all I know, the guest could have been the problem). But they had a convenient little "store" next to the front desk for drinks and snacks, check in and out was easy and quick, and they were very accommodating of our very late check in when we called ahead to let them know.
I would definitely stay here again if I ever find myself in the area!
