This was our 3rd annual trip from Reno/Carson City to the Topaz area just for a brief getaway. We love the area and enjoy a very quiet and comfortable stay at Topaz Lodge. We also love that I can bring my dog! Both dinner and the following morning's breakfast were excellent, and we both very much appreciate the in-room coffee maker and pods.

One suggestion: Our room was #38, and although there was a lamp on the table between the 2 beds, there was not enough light to read by. I had to remove the lampshade, which only improved things slightly on my side. Two small overhead lights above each bed would solve the problem. The single framed picture above one bed could then be hung on the far wall, which would be a much better arrangement.

Handy location, with everything you need in one place - Quirky. Casino, Friendly staff, Bar, cafe, restaurant, Gas station and great views over the lake. Pet friendly but we stayed in the non pet rooms (101 to 105 have a beautiful morning sunrise over the lake filling the room with sunlight) Great cafe food includes a vegan burger and a few other vegan options.

The smell/ air in the casino smells like it has had too many doses of air freshener and needs to be opened up on a windy day for a good airing.

The service was good and the breakfast too. The free drink and discount breakfast voucher was a nice surprise. Our room was away from the main building and casino, a bonus! Great views of the lake.

It's 20 miles outside of the town of Gardnerville, something they don't advertise, so we were unprepared for that. The room was comfy and large, but really dated, noisey air con as well.

The staff was great and the views of the lake were very nice. The casino is small but we had a good time.

The in room coffee pot was gross, we couldn't use it and the Steak house restaurant was a little over priced. Pretty sure the bison ribs were actually beef ribs but the staff was awesome.

Great restaurant overlooking the lake. Big breakfast with good food. Rooms are older but were nice sized and clean with view of the lake. This is a nice, older style slice of Americana lodging that the lake makes a special place.

there was nothing I did not like.

The location to the lake and the views were amazing. The food and service were great.

I wish our window in our room would have opened, even a little. There was some kind of machine attached to the window but we couldn't open it at all. We prefer fresh air.

We are on a roadtrip. After spending the day in Yosemite, we took a short drive over to the Topaz. For what we paid, it was exactly what we needed. A very small casino overlooking Topaz Lake with the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the background. Also the gas that is right there was the cheapest we have seen so far. The general store was reasonably priced.

The restaurant is inside the casino, so you can smell cigarettes. Also the coffee was pretty rough. Atleast there gorgeous views out of the huge windows lining the walls of the restaurant. If you want a decent cup of coffee go to the general store.

The customer service was very helpful and friendly, and the food was wonderful.

I made the reservation the day prior to us leaving through booking. Com and when we arrived at the lodge, even though I had the confirmation and all the necessary info on my phone, the customer service lady couldn't find it on her computer. However she was still able to accommodate us. This is the 2nd time I have had problems with booking.com and will never use them again. Thank you

I have to commend Chris who was the person who checked us in. He was very patient, informative and helpful. He was able to accomodate our 8-person party close to each other. We ate dinner at the restaurant, the view was excellent. The pulled pork was on point! all of my other 7 companions thought the food was "better than they expected" The service was great.

I personally cannot be around smoke. So the smoky casino was a turn off. And having to walk through the casino to check in and to the restaurant was not ideal. Also the beds were very creaky. Not enough soap/towels.

The room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant was good and the view was incomparable! They provided coupons for free drinks and $3 off breakfast. The parking was convenient and shaded with lovely cottonwood trees.

The casino was very smoky and impossible to avoid.
