Best Western Topaz Lake Inn

From check in to check out the stay met with my expectations. The front desk person was incredibly friendly, the beds and room comfortable. The lake out the window made for some great sunrise pictures. I'd definitely stay here again

We were taken care of very well- we have been staying there while our house was being fixed- The owners (Shelly & Sham) went way beyond their services to make sure we were accommodated -along with Heather their employee!! Their breakfast is continental however it was always fresh !! Easy things which are quick and easy to fix !! Beautiful location looking over Topaz Lake😊 Restaurants are near by - some within a few minutes but if you want more variety then only 15/20 minutes it worked out great for us!!
We would recommend staying here anytime beautiful scenery 💖💖

Ive stayed at this place 3-4 times in the past 4-5 years. Usually 2-3 days but this last visit I stayed a week and thought it time to write a thorough review as this is one of those places that is just put right pleasant and has always been consistent with service....and the VIEW is just spectacular l, especially sunset and sunrise with a few clouds over the lake!

This is a Great place to escape from civilization. Nestled on the mountainside at about 5500 feet with a gorgeous view of the lake that has year round fishing, and In the fall, it's not uncommon to see deer walking on the property. This Best Western has Super BIG...HUGE... rooms. Bigger than most other hotels. Super Friendly staff. Shelly is very pleasant and socialable. I think she is the front desk manager, but seems like she wears many hats, as most good (and few) workers do in any hotel.

Good breakfast with lots of options. I stayed for a week during my last stay and everyday there was a hot waffle with lots of toppings, most days had eggs and/or Sausage patty, a couple days had A Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich and breakfast burritos and everyday had yogurt, eggs, a good variety of breads and cereal....plenty to fuel your morning. Seems they change up breakfast a bit when they know they have a work crew in for a few days that need a quick breakfast they can just heat and eat on the go. I tipped the hostess $1 each day I ate. If my husband was with me on this trip, I would have tipped $2 at each breakfast... hindsight, I should have left an extra $5 for her at the front desk when I checked out. She was really hustling to keep up with everyone and tried to steal a moment to ask about your morning or wish you safe travels.

I only had my room serviced once during the week. This seems to be the industry standard for the past 5-6 years. I have been noticing hotels doing this everywhere from the Rockies to West Coast...all the way up to Alaska and thru Canada....Marriott, Choice hotels and Best Western. I personally like not having my room serviced everyday. It wastes time, water, resources and electricity to wash towels after one use when a guest stays for 2-3-4 days, and it's no problem to swap out wet towels if it was one of those days that warranted an extra shower. I did ask for extra coffee and creamer and trash bags every other day from the front desk, and I would just set my trash outside my door in the morning. I wish they kept a garbage can on each floor at the midway point, but maybe they have their reasons. The little interaction I had with housekeeping was pleasant when they serviced my room and left they extra coffee and creamer when asked. I left them an $8 dollar tip when I left with a note thanking them for doing a good job cleaning the rooms. I'm not sure what housekeepers make these days, but I'm sure they appreciate a few extra dollars. They are some of the many under appreciated service workers.

The hot tub is seasonal at this mountainside hotel and was very pleasant and with a nice view of the mountains... nice and quiet.

Be PREPARED for winter driving conditions in the Eastern Sierra from about October thru April... having been around this area for many years, I've seen it snow late into May.

Only ONE dinner option in the casino next door in this quiet little resort area 20 miles from the main town area of Gardnerville/Minden, And NO FOOD DELIVERY, SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. However there is a Family Dollar and a small market about 5 miles. Between the two you can pick up sandwich fixings, can foods and microwave meals.

They have two vending machines, one with beverages and one well stocked with a wide variety of snacks: fruit/nut snack, candy bars, popcorn, cup of soup.

There is a big gazebo in the corner of the property that has a fantastic view of the lake. During my stay, I observed some CalTrans guys using the charcoal BBQ cooking their dinner.

The owners/managers obviously take care of the property. Seems every year, I notice something new added or improved upon.

I Will definitely keep staying here!

Pleasant and clean with great views of the lake. Spacious room, comfy bed. Folks at the desk were gracious and helpful. A good value and I would stay again when traveling Highway 395.

Our room was very nice, overlooking the lake. Clean and quiet. Breakfast choices were great. We will stay there again. Staff is friendly and efficient.

If you were looking for a place to stay with a beautiful view wonderful staff and good price then look no further! The room was clean and super nice. The breakfast and coffee were great. THE VIEW! The staff are so kind and genuinely nice people to speak with. The GM Sean made it one of the best trips my friends and I have ever had. We will DEFINITELY be going back! Thank you Best Western Topaz Lake for a fantastic weekend stay!

Stars delight! The owner was very friendly and showed us where we could watch the shooting stars. You could tell he cared about guests happiness and enjoyed their visits. Also he told us we could take a good book from our room :)

Had an amazing stay on our road trip. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Do not miss the amazing sunset / sunrise right from the parking lot.

We stayed one night to split up our drive north. Our room was clean and updated. The bed was comfortable. They had a good selection for the continental breakfast. The gentleman working the desk was friendly.

We stopped at this hotel on our way to Yosemite. Our spacious room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the lake and mountains. The view was spectacular at night with a full moon. The room was very clean and bed comfortable. We were able to use the workout room which consisted of weight machine, treadmill, stationary bike and bench. It would have been nice to have a complete set of dumbbells. The hot tub wasn’t as hot as it should be. (Lukewarm ). Breakfast was good- had the usual offerings: scrambled eggs, sausage, cereals, pastries, waffles and juice and coffee. We would definitely stay here again!

Great customer service. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are spacious and clean. There were no weird odors. It was very fresh and clean. The location is amazing. You get a nice view of Topaz Lake. Its beautiful! Enjoyed my stay.

Our overall experience was extremely pleasing. The location was easy to get to. All the rooms have full views of Topaz Lake. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We could not have asked for more.

Great rooms, Excellent views, Super price. Gambling/Food just down the road (walking distance). I've been there many times. Just about every other month for work related business (Over three years). The Patel family are great people. Highly recommended when in the area.

This Best Western is unmatched in customer service! My girlfriend was flying late into Reno and needed to head south into California. However, her flight got delayed several times and she needed a place to stay close to the CA/NV border. We made arrangements at this Best Western and explained that she wasn’t going to arrive until the early hours of the morning. They were very accommodating and stayed up late to greet her and ensure she made it safe. Thank you guys!

Great place to stay! Super friendly employees that made for a very inviting environment! The rooms were very large and spacious and very clean! The views of the lake from the windows were fabulous! Very relaxing! I will definitely be back to stay longer!

A long day's drive getting to Topaz Lake was a gift. Beautiful surroundings, excellent accommodations and professional personnel were much appreciated. A bonus was the all-you-can-eat spaghetti being served at the adjacent restaurant. I've stayed here before and will again. A pleasant oasis.

The room was very large and clean. It had an couch and new flat screen tv. Even on the 1st floor we could see a view of Topaz lake. After a week camping in the backcountry of Death Valley the bed was comfortable and huge! We had a great conversation with the owner/operator who was very pleasant, while enjoying a waffle and egg muffin from the continental breakfast. Highly recommend to anyone passing through on the 395.

New hotel with great amenities. Overlooks Lake Topaz with an amazing view. Rooms are spacious, with large TV flat screen TV, microwave, and mini fridge. Staff is very helpful and curtious. Hotel is close to fishing and hiking locations, and approximately an hour from Reno. Topaz Lodge is located next door which has good food at a great price. Great place to stay for business or weekend retreat.

Very nice, clean, pet friendly hotel. Shelly, one of the employees, was very nice and helpful. Our stay was excellent and we had everything that we needed here. The price was not bad at all either. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice little place. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Not only were the rooms clean, but they were very good sized. Nice view of the lake from the room, plesently surprised. Close to restaurant/casino and mini mart. Good food in walking distance.
