The room was clean and large, but we were there in off season and the only ones staying at the property. We loved the Italian place across the highway.

We loved our stay here! Just make sure you call ahead if you’re arriving after the office is closed to check in, but otherwise it was a super cute room with lots of space & everything we needed! Definitely would stay again.

Probably terrific in-season.
Very comfortable lodging, very nice room. Traveling offseason, but it would have been much better to have in-person service. The lock-box with room codes was disappointing, as the first room I was directed to was already occupied when I entered the room. Cold and tired from the road, it was a struggle to get situated over the phone. Once in my actual room, though, I was happy with the situation.

Incredibly nice and clean. A luxury chalet feel. Wish the salon and steakhouse was open during my stay. Would have loved to try it.

My wife and I like to come and stay here for a night to celebrate our anniversary and visit the nearby hot springs. It's reasonable relative other hotels in similar areas and the rooms are nice. Our stay was a bit off this time around, with the room smelling like marijuana when we checked in. We aired it out as best we could and otherwise had no problems. The middle drawer of the dresser had some left over items in it and I ended up with a free pair of new socks. Check in was easy, it was just a phone call and an access code. Wifi works fine and heater is excellent. The bed is on the harder side, so if you're a back sleeper it will feel great, but if you like to sleep on your side, you might need to adjust your pillows. I do recommend bringing an extra pillow or two, as I found theirs a bit small, but your mileage may vary on that one. Parking is accessible, being right out front of your room. There's a restaurant/bar combo across the parking lot, or you can head elsewhere to eat. With a microwave and fridge in the room, you can bring additional items or leftovers with you and store them at your leisure. I'm sure we'll be back again, hopefully with no additional 420 smell. I don't mind the free socks, though.

It's a beautiful property, very comfortable for us. The check-in system leaves much to be desired. There is no one around for late check-in, we didn't get an email with a code to retrieve our key after hours and the secondary phone number that was listed didn't answer or call back. We relied on another guest arriving after we did to allow us to get our key. If they hadn't arrived I don't think we could have gotten into our room.

Our primary concern related to check in. It was all by email and left us with questions / issues that made access to our room more difficult than it should have been. The code they gave us to the door worked sometimes and not on others. Fortunately, the physical key they gave us for the back door off the patio allowed us to get in when the code on the main door lock didn't work.

Clean! The “mud room” area at the front door is a great idea for muddy & wet outdoor clothing & getting the dog situated. Nice little “office corner”. Love the back door with private picnic table & lawn chairs & beautiful view. Hot, hot water for shower. Contactless check in was easy. Really above average at a reasonable price.

It is a unique hotel because it had two doors. The badk door leads to a patio with a picnic table. It appeared to be an older hotel, but the interior wss complete remodeled and was very modern and beautiful and clean. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great stay there.

Completely worth the stop
A hidden gem. A true relaxation tucked nicely away from busy towns and cities. It seems they thought of everything. Restaurant on property a touch expensive for my taste but the food was amazing. Only downside is never one time seeing anyone on the property. Everything done via email and phone calls. I’m not sure about that.

A lovely place
With the STELLAR rating in the reviews, i was GENUINELY looking forward to a nicer dinner (a glass or 2 of wine), not having to drive back to our room, and that lovely view to cap off our trip, after an 18+ hour drive. HOWEVER, it wasn't meant to be. 1) No one was on site upon arrival. 2) Restaurant and Bar were closed (You may want to put that in your promo that the restaurant/bar is closed Mon-Tues). 3) Proably the BIGGEST disappointment...the guests in the room next to us took it upon themselves to move their porch furniture to the grass area in front of OUR ROOM and VIEW, and stayed there enjoying their dinner (and gorgeous sunset)while we were left with no view to even enjoy. I felt cheated.

We stayed here in late March and arrived in snowy conditions. No one at front office but I called the number on the door and they gave me instructions to enter our room. We were the only guests and it was quiet and beautiful. Our room was large and spacious. I would definitely stay here again when I return to visit Virginia City/Nevada City later this year.

Great place to bring your dog for a weekend trip
We really enjoyed staying at McAllister Inn for a weekend trip! Beautiful scenery and staff were friendly at both the hotel and the restaurant. We brought our dog and he was comfortable on the property. Our room was clean and spacious. Even though dogs are allowed, we didn't see pet hair anywhere, so their cleaning standards are pretty good. We plan on visiting again in the summer so we can enjoy hiking trails and the lake. And the food at the restaurant was fantastic!
