Traveler Reviews on Virginia City

Gold Hill Hotel

3 of 5 stars
colorado
Jul 18, 2008

My family of five visited Virginia City as we had some history there. After reading the reviews of the Gold Hill Hotel, we decided to experience some history. We stayed in rooms 11 & 12, because of the adjoining doors. The rooms were clean, air conditioned, and the bed in 12 was absolutely the most comfortable hotel bed I stayed... more

True to Town's Character of Unexpected Pleasures and Surprises Just finished making an annual trip July 2008 to Virginia City, Nevada, my 20th. It's one of my favorite automobile trips, never failing to offer new surprises in a town long famous not only for the silver and gold mines of the Comstock Lode, but for bending the rules from the... more

Long Beach, California

We spent 2 nights here, July 2nd and 3rd. We booked the Miners Rest, the only room in which pets are allowed. This is in a building at the back of the property which adjoins the original old mine. At one time it served as offices for the mine, and much of the original character remains. The building is actually... more

Let me start off by saying that the manager, Melody, is a very nice, very friendly woman. I hesitated to write this review, but then I realized how much I rely on the honesty of Tripadvisor reviewers in making my travel choices. It would be a disservice to anyone using this site and considering a stay at Gold Hill NOT... more

Chollar Mansion Bed and Breakfast

4 of 5 stars
Lake Tahoe, Nevada
Jun 20, 2008

Stayed 2 nights. One family member stayed on the 2nd floor and I stayed on the 1st floor. This mansion is going through a lot of refurbishing (& needs it), but if you like history, this is the place. There is no garden except for a few sparse flowers. It has potential. Gena is a gracious host and cooks a... more

Silver Queen Hotel

Jun 17, 2008

My best friend and I stayed here and we loved it! We were able to check in right at noon. We stayed in Room 25. The room was clean and comfortable. The stairs are steep and narrow, yet add a lot of charm to the place. The only downfall was that we hardly slept a wink due to the spooky... more

I live nearby and come here often. The haunted cemetary tours are a must! It might be a good idea to check their event calendar before planning your trip since they always seem to have something going on. I also recommend going to the saloons. They are as packed now as they were in the old days. more

Silver Queen Hotel

Sparks, NV
Jun 3, 2008

Was celebrating my 40th B-Day and had a little to much enjoyment and needed a place to stay. My wife and I decided this about mid-night and had no problem getting a hold of Doreen (sp) and she promptly drove from her house (about 5 minutes away) and got us a room. No Ghosts to speak of but my wife... more

Beaverton, Oregon

I love Virginia City and this was only my second visit. Went with a friend we decided to stay. A local recommended the Silver Queen. Paid $80 for street-view room with a shower. Primitive, yes, cool....absolutely. When we first went in, I took some photos of my friend on the stairs. Caught three small orbs and one large one. Very... more

The B Street House Bed & Breakfast

May 17, 2008

The B Street House truly defines the bed and breakfast experience. When you walk into the house, you feel as though you have walked back in time to the beautiful antique charm that defines the 1800's time period. Upon arrival I was greeted by both innkeepers and wonderful smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The house is furnished with... more

We absolutely loved staying at the Chollar Mansion and would definitely stay again. We stayed in the cottage outside the mansion, it was lovely. The antique furniture was beautiful. Our son was doing a report on Virginia City for school and Gina, the owner provided him with his own drawer full of books and information on Virginia City. In addition,... more

Silver Queen Hotel

Battle Mtn, NV
Apr 11, 2008

We stayed at the Silver Queen last Friday night. They were booked for Saturday night, so we had to stay elsewhere. Let me say this: If you are "uptight" and absolutely cannot survive without the modern amenities which we are all accustomed to, then this is not the place for you. This hotel is 132 years old. We stayed in... more

I never stayed at the Hotel, but was just there this past weekend, and was insulted by the lady behind the bar. The owner of the place was nice and very respectfull to his customers. My dad took me there when i was a kid which was about 22 years ago. I really enjoyed looking around in the hotel. it... more

I regret staying at the Chollar mansion for what was supposed to be a quiet get-a-way with my husband. It began upon arrival, the suite we were promised was unavailable due to a plumbing issue, so we had to settle for a room that had the worst odor due to what we were told was a “fire”. While trying to... more

Great hotel. We stayed here for our last night before flying back home to Chicago. We stayed in room 12 expecting a quiet night since it is not part of the hotel that is supposedly haunted. We were in for a night of surprises. First we went to the bar, which is very homey. Dollar bills are hanging on all... more

The palace saloon has fantastic food, excellent customer service, they are very clean and the environment is very nastalgic. It gives you a very warm feeling, not to mention the fact that they're prices are very reasonable. This restaurant is above all the best in town. I'm definately eating there on my next trip to V.C. more

Feb 15, 2008

Much different than I had expected. I visited this establishement with my girlfriend for Valentines day and we were joyful from the moment we saw it. As is seen in our provided photo (which hopefully will post), each room is separated by a step-patio and decorated very nicely. The snow had been well cleared for parking and the management was... more

Ramada Virginia City

Albany, Oregon

Stayed once more at the Ramada and had a wonderful stay. There was a high school basketball tournement in town and we were directly across the hall from a few boys...they were not a problem our whole weekend. It was great! I would definitely recommend the King Suite with the whirlpool. Great view, very relaxing. more

Ramada Virginia City

Jan 2, 2008

What a great hotel. Although I appreciate the history of Virginia City and its antique hotels, I still prefer to sleep in something new- this hotel is just that. It's perfect for Virginia City as its exterior decor blends with the western aspects of this tourist town, yet its accommodations are exactly what a modern person needs. Nice room, great... more

Agua Dulce, California
Jan 1, 2008

This little gem run by the Fain Family, is a wonderful place to visit. The hotel is suppossedly haunted, but we were staying in the new part of the hotel. The only thing that was a little annoying was that the toilet kept running all night, but we turned off the valve and things went back to beautiful. The wood... more
