The Federal Hotel Downtown Carson City, an Ascend Collection Hotel
8/10 Good
"Only minor issues were the sliding door didn’t lock, the new barn door for the bathroom had a huge gap at the top, and they called us at right at check out time to make sure we were ready to check out which was something that we’ve never experienced in our stays all over."
"The room was very clean, including the bathroom, which we appreciated. The beds were on the smaller side, and the walls are fairly thin, we could hear neighbors arguing around 3 a.m., although that’s not really the hotel’s fault. There was also a noticeable smell in the room, I can only describe it as an old bar smell, like stale beer and cigarettes.
We arrived during a storm around midnight, and this was one of the last rooms available, so options were limited. Overall, it served its purpose, and we were able to get a decent night’s sleep."
"Breakfast is paid at the bistro, so we didn't eat there.
The hotel was cleanish, I don't think it was so much the staff as it was the other guests. We were unlucky enough to be there at the same time as a soccer tournament and despite clear instructions in the rooms to not leave children unattended they were running up and down the hallway until past 11pm. They were banging on doors and there was ice and food crumbs all over the carpet. As much as I paid to stay there, I was really expecting a better rest.
The staff were kind and check in and out was quick. It was just not a restful stay which was disappointing after such a long trip.
The shower was okay. The heater refused to work, flashing the filter warning.
It was not the stay I expect."
