Northern Queen Inn

Northern Queen Inn

8/10 Good
"This is a beautiful property to stay on and so affordable. Unfortunately we ended up with a room with a leaky toilet and it ran with a high pitched squeal every ten minutes or so. closing the pocket door helped a little but this seems like something that could be maintained better. There were also several black hairs on the walls in the shower telling me it must not have been cleaned after the last guest. It was still worth the visit and is a great affordable optio walking distance from downtown NV City."

There was a wedding going on and the bar filled up afterwards. It was romantic and amazing. We checked in. I wish I knew her name but she was very sweet and nice and cute. I had a good time.
