Great stay for a great price!
I booked this room for a quick ski trip at Heavenly. The inn is a 5 min walk to the gondola and many restaurants/bars. While you could tell the room was outdated, it was clean and a great place to stay while skiing the mountain. Will definitely be going back.

Great stay
My stay was great. Comfortable enough bed, heat worked, the room had a microwave and a fridge which was convenient. The Inn itself was situated perfectly within a short walk of the mountain, food, shops, etc.

Great deal a block from the gondola!
This is my go-to place when skiing at Heavenly. It's quiet (off the main drag), comfortable, clean (daily room service!), and a convenient 1-block walk to the gondola and several restaurants within a block or 2. Free parking, too.

5/5 every time
5th time staying at this hotel and we will continue to come back each year! Every year we get a warm welcome when checking in. Despite only coming once a year, we get recognized every time. Rooms are always clean and stocked with basic toiletries and coffee. We’ve had to extend the stay a few times due to getting stuck in snow storms and they’ve were nothing but accommodating and made it super easy to add an extra day at little charge too. Such a convenient location being only walking distance from the heavenly shops and gondolas. Only an hour drive from Reno and Virginia City. This will continue to be our go to spot

Great location! Recommended.
Location was great. We could walk back and forth from the gondola fairly easily. The front desk and cleaners were friendly.
I wish they would consider upgrading the beds and bedding.
