    A good night's stay if you are using it just to sleep.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The bathroom and room were pretty dated with few "extra" comforts. There was no place to put one's clothes, other than your whole suitcase on a tv table.

    The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The location to Tahoe City and the lake is fantastic. The rates are super reasonable and leave you with money to spend on dinner.

    A bear had damaged some pipes under the property, which meant a day without hot water. 💦 but this was no problem, they were working on it as fast as possible & the staff made every effort to accommodate.

    Super friendly & helpful staff, comfortable & great location.

    Reasonable alternative to much higher priced stays in Tahoe City.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Location and noise issues reported above, and the fact that check in was not available until 4 pm. Other loud evening noises (possibly caused by movement of machinery nearby) that shook the room and which must have originated adjacent to my room.

    My room was clean and spacious, the bathroom facilities including shower were also very spacious (possibly recently refurbished), the bed was very comfortable. Location was a bit of a problem in that my room (like all the rooms at this facility) was very close to the main drag in Tahoe City, and the traffic noise continued until late in the evening. Since my room was adjacent to the office, foot traffic and noise from visitors to the office was a problem until late in the evening.

    A freak problem the room key jammed in the door lock one night. No staff were on site at that hour. We used just the chain & latch till morning- not very secure. Arrival date was during the worst storm day or the year.. took 10 hours of driving instead of 2 1/2 hour as usual. Only one road from west (rt 50) was open.

    Very clean as in spotless Fridge and microwave in room

    Two bedroom executive suite

    • Executive Suite
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The 2 bedroom suite did not have a microwave (crucial for a big group) and lacked outlets in the "kitchen", meaning we had to move the coffee maker to the bathroom. The lack of a window or art in the living room was a bit maddening. There might be a space for hanging out in the lobby but it was made public and closed too early.

    Large space with plenty of room in a great location. I appreciated the local soaps and large whirlpool tub. The staff was very kind.

    Dont think there is anything I didnt like except that the room was on 2nd floor which with 2 kids is little hard. But we managed.

    Location was next to the lake. Room was pretty big and spacious. Bathroom was neat. Staff was very supportive.

    Rooms not very sound-proofed both from rooms to the side/above and also from the traffic noise from the car park and road outside. The lights beside the bed in our room didn’t work and the main light switch did nothing. Remote check-in/check-out meant we didn’t have any interaction with staff.

    Central location in Tahoe City just off the main road. Big bed and bathrooms

    The place is old and sometimes you can hear noises from the next room.

    The location is excellent, it is right next to an iconic small mall. It is pretty walkable. There is coffee machine and ground coffee in the room, which I liked a lot. Room was spacious as well.

    No breakfast was served. My husband had trouble getting the tv to work. His bike was troublesome. The chain came off and he had to take mine back and get the car, and put his in the trunk. We ended up renting from a local shop.

    Location ad friendliness of staff. Coffee was good. Very beautiful room, and upscale products.
