    Staff was so friendly and welcoming. The town is amazing- great restaurants, cafe, general store and bar a few feet from the hotel. The rooms are spotless and cozy and the beds are comfortable. Will go back again.

    N/A

    This location is very remote but conveniently located only 25 min away from my favorite Kirkwood ski destination. On top of it, it is only 3 miles away from Grove National State Park with lots of hiking trails and amazing Hotsprings opened to the public ( there are only 4 times you can use it though, just check in advance)! The town is very small and only has two places to eat and tiny convenience store. But if you like outdoor adventures and to be away from hustle and bustle of busy South lake Tahoe, this place is the best!!! The staff on duty is only 9-5pm. But they leave you a very thorough voice message on the phone in advance with instructions if you arrive after business hours. It s very convenient so you do not have to deal with reception etc. Check out is super easy! Just leave the keys inside the room and open the blinds so they see you left. I also love that there is separate little room with coffee, hot chocolate, hot/cold water filter and condiments. So you can have little something in the morning and warm your soul with sweet hot chocolate during the day. I love it!!!

    The Booking.com listing advertised a "deluxe king studio" with hot tub & kitchen. For all that, the rate of $170 seemed reasonable. Instead, we had a queen room (quite lovely in and of itself) and not even a refrigerator. The manager wasn't around when we checked in, but the next morning all he said was, "Yeah, we've been trying to get the listing changed." It may be that $170 is the going rate in that area, because it's a very small town without many other options, I think.

    The room was updated like a boutique hotel, very pleasant and comfortable, though small. Exterior has a rustic charm. (Warning: Rooms were off a walkway that required us to lug our bags from the street.) Excellent location: Inn is located next to a brew pub and across from an upscale restaurant (advance reservations recommended -- we ended up at the brew pub because wait was going to be an hour).

    After we paid (and left), they wanted to add a fee for our dog they had not disclosed before we arrived. Then they said thy needed to do a ‘deep cleaning’ because of our dog who has arthritis and was unable to move around the room on their wood floor. We kept her on a carpet we brought from home. She never even roamed around the room. Except for not making the bed, we left the room as we found it.

    Clean, convenience to restaurants next door. The innkeeper was really nice.

    Unfortunately the parking is not that straightforward. The small parking lot in front of the building doesn't belong to the Lodge. Anybody who isn't a guest can take up all the space and you wind up finding a parking spot along the road... which has happened to me.

    Very clean! Pleasant interaction with the staff. Nice atmosphere in the room. The place is kept in good shape! Nice low key high end restaurant in town.

    I asked for a room in the front, which I was given. The only problem is that if you open your blind you will be on display to the restaurant across the street and the smokers outside your window where the benches are.

    Todd was very kind helping me get situated and parking my motorcycle. The room was very clean and comfortable.

    Not anything I can think of thought I was in a real rush to check in as I was late for a wedding and couldn’t immediately find the office. Might have been a sign I missed in my hurried state though.

    The room was clean, everything worked, and the large bed was very comfy. Also, the staff member I checked in with was very friendly and efficient. I also liked the location as it is right in the heart of town.

    This is NOT a negative comment. Since I had so much to bring in and out of the room. Parking in front of room would have been nice. But not a deal breaker.

    The room was clean. Tim and Todd accommodated our early arrival. Great people!

    I had Wi-Fi issues because my room was too far from a booster. Markleeville on a Tuesday has no open restaurant. I had to drive 20+ miles to dinner and another back. Beautiful town tho and the drive south the next morning to the 395 was worth every inconvenience.

    It was very comfortable and the staff was super helpful and friendly.

    wifi could be better for sure. Lack of AC is ok because it gets cool at night but having a fan that brought in air at night automatically would be nice. clearing humidity in the room after a shower requires opening window and door for a bit.

    if you want to be in Markleeville, this is IT.
