Nothing fancy, but all our need were fulfilled. Room was clean and bed was comfortable enough for a good night sleep. Wi-Fi also worked great during our whole stay. Location was very convenient for us, walking distance from city center.

Surrounded by tall pines and fresh mountain air, it has that classic lodge charm while still feeling comfortable and well cared for. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. One of my favorite parts was how peaceful the property felt that you could actually hear the wind in the trees, which made mornings and evenings especially calming.

The room we got was spacious. We brought our own bathroom supplies cuz they only provide soap and shampoo. We stayed on the first floor but the people upstairs were walking around too loud. Overall our stay was great for the price that we paid. Will stay there again.

The room looked like it had not been renovated in 20 years. The mattress was lumpy and the entire carpet was wet and smelled like it had just been cleaned and not dried.

Everything was broken, from the knob of the oven melt off to have a heater with no thermostat control. The bathroom was ice cold and our towels were frozen by the 30 degree air leaking through the bathroom single pain window. It’s ranks as far worst of the worst maintained hotel. If you seen the bates motel or think of Motel 5, this would be the category. The management is ignoring the issues when reported. There was a dangerous ice sheet in the parking lot. Honestly, city of Tahoe should close down this place due to number of hazards it poses to its guest.
