Comstock Lodge

Can’t go wrong with this bargain mom & pop spot.
Went in with reasonably low expectations, and left pleasantly surprised.
Pluses …
— Owners are pleasant and friendly.
— Room was clean, quite spacious and quaintly decorated.
— The fireplace in room #5 is a nice touch, and can be operated with or without heat for ambiance
— Parking was right outside our unit’s door.
— Quiet location
— Large king bed
Minus …
— bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but the pillows were excellent. I know these folks are owner/​operators on a budget (she even cleans the rooms herself), so perhaps egg-​carton mattress toppers might be an alternative to add comfort without the expense of new mattresses?
— walls are a bit thin, but our neighbors were quiet so it wasn’t a problem
— a bit of a walk to downtown Virginia City — .4 mile to Café Del Rio (nearest restaurant); .6 mile to southern most shops; .8 mile to center of town. We like to walk, so it wasn’t a problem for us, but would’ve been nice to be in the heart of town. Street lights do end a few blocks before reaching the Comstock, so be prepared if you’re walking at night (we used our phone flashlights and were fine.)
TIPS: Don’t expect anything fancy (such as in room phones and wifi — although we were told you can get wifi if you’re near the front office), and cell coverage is sketchy — but you’ll find that throughout Virginia City. Ask for a hair dryer at check-​in if you think you’ll need one, as they don’t come standard in rooms.
Aside from that, can’t really complain. Great value for the price ($ 60 on a Saturday night). Would definitely recommend the Comstock and stay there again.

Randi & Bob have a great place to stay if you’re looking for lodging in Virginia City. A group of us have gone to the VCGP for a few years now, and each time I look forward to staying at their place! The rooms are always adorable, clean & spotless, beds are comfortable, and they are so very kind. I caught myself chatting with them for hours last time I was there. They made sure that we had everything we needed the whole time we were there. The race ends usually right when we’re supposed to check out, and they let us keep the rooms open to shower for a small fee — which believe me, it was worth it! It’s a great place to stay, I wouldn’t choose anything else in town!

Excellent place to stay. Very friendly proprietors, charming rooms… don’t let the exterior appearance fool you!
The only downside is that the walls are a little thin, so if you have loud obnoxious neighbors, you’ll hear them… aside from that, I loved it here.
I know where I’ll be staying next time I’m up this way!
