Beautiful but unfortunate

I’ve stayed here a few times and have really enjoyed my stay. This time is was pretty chaotic. We were there for a tournament and many others were there for the same soccer tournament which I understand was not in their favor. However, there were way too many kids in the pool/spa and even though parents were there unfortunately the hotel needed to manage because they broke it. I also attempted to order food for my daughter and I at the bar and the bar tender never once acknowledged my presence, in fact he only serviced the men at the counter while walked up about 5 minutes after I was standing at the counter. Lastly, Saturday evening they only had one person working the reservation desk so I waited about 15 minutes until he could get to me. We were pretty disappointed and had to walk away from the hotel for business.

Lake Tahoe Vacation

We recently stayed at the Beach Retreat Lodge and overall, the experience was just okay. Check-in could have been more welcoming—a smile from the front desk clerk would go a long way. One of the biggest frustrations was the misleading information we received prior to arrival. The pre-check-in email stated that the resort fee included Wi-Fi, parking, and bike rentals, but when we checked in, the clerk told us that was not correct. This feels misleading to guests and should be addressed. Another big inconvenience was that the elevator in Building E was out of service, which meant we had to haul two large suitcases up the stairs. Not exactly the kind of start you want to your stay. The room itself was fine, though the shower water pressure was very low. The exterior of the building is also showing clear signs of wear and is in need of repair. For the price we paid, we expected a better experience. It wasn’t terrible, but definitely disappointing compared to what was advertised

The pictures of the property and rooms make this place look much nicer than it actually is. The rooms are very tiny and parking was awful! The staff at the desk were very nice and helpful. Sadly the bartender at the tiki bar was awful and not friendly at all. The on sight restaurant was way understaffed some people were waiting for 1 to 2 hours for food. We were very disappointed and it was our anniversary, we ended up walking out. On a positive note the view from our room was nice. And it was peaceful at night. They knew it was our anniversary and i was hoping for a little something special, free cocktail, or appetizer... something. All in all it wasnt horrible and we got a lot of relaxation time. The place just didnt repsent as well in person.

I never leave reviews but this has been the most disappointing visit to Tahoe for my mother and I. It is so pricy for being outdated— I had even paid more to get lake view from our room as shown in the photos. Our room got some view but a lot of it was obstructed by an event below and drunk tourists at the bar. It was not worth it. Compared to other hotels, ANYONE can enter this property, there are no wristbands to know who is a visitor or not. I saw lots of drunk, loud and obnoxious people that make me question if they even paid to be there. Not family friendly. The TV is outdated and carpet reeks of musk. Don’t count on Netflix and wear sandals in the property to avoid fungal infections. The beach was very limited, there was a weddi by taking place on the left so we couldn’t walk far and behind us was a sad memorial service of some kind telling us to be quiet for respect….on the the right were drunk loud people. The vibe was so confusing and I had no idea how I should feel. B ut what really got me upset is that when I tried grabbing a chair, a man approached me and told me that it was 25$ to get one!!! I paid over 600$ to stay a night!! I have stayed in cheaper hotels in Tahoe nearby who make it a priority to keep its hosts relaxed and comfortable. This is just pure greed and with this I left more angry than relaxed. Never again! On ther other hand the housemaids and front desk was nice. Don’t take it on them, take it on the greedy management.

Loved the beach access! Loved Tiki Bar and pier restaurant. Did not like food at Sidelines. The bed was very uncomfortable, too hard. Loved pet friendly! Pier restaurant has great food and service but the restaurant/pier needs beautification. Peeling paint/mismatched furniture, scary stairs to restaurant (broken concrete). Hopefully new owners have plans to improve some things.
