There wasn't an ice machine. The toilet chain broke the first day. The pillows and beds were hard and flat. There were ants in the bathroom and the shower was small. The owner was nice and fixed the toilet right away.

Pretty good deal, for the area

I liked that it was in a really nice area, the beach was right across the street and was not busy. The room was pretty clean. It wasn’t the nicest place but I slept pretty comfortable, I wish they had ac . Overall I think for the price it was reasonable and we would actually go back . Thanks.

This property is in serious need of an upgrade. The furniture is from the 70s, the carpet needs removing, the blinds hadn’t been dusted in a long while, there is no AC or coffee pot, flat pillows, and clearly there had been bugs in the bathroom that got sprayed as they were still there stuck to the floor. The Expedia picture is very misleading. The exterior isn’t cute wooden and warm -it’s worn dorm and hasn’t been painted in many years. When I arrived, the keys to my room were in an envelope with my name on it on the door of the office and they are actual keys - not key cards. It’s great that you can walk across the street to the lake and we really only needed place to sleep so I guess it worked in that regard and it was cheaper for summer Tahoe prices but def not what I expected for $130 a night.

Great price & location

We needed a one night stay quick and this very reasonably priced place popped up and had one availability for the night we needed so I booked online. This place is small but centrally located and right across the street from Gar Woods, great restaurant. All said, nothing fancy at all. No blow dryer, no ironing board. Just very simple. Needs a remodel and paint job. The beds were comfortable. We are in our mid 60’s and I think younger folks would do well in a place like this b/c the price was very good. Oh, the man working at the desk was very nice.

Simple motel, great location.

Great location, close to lake access, restaurants and 7-11. The room was basic. Thin walls, could hear the neighbor snoring all night. Never got the wifi to work.

Only redeeming qualities are location and price. Arrived to check in and there was nobody to check in with. Phone calls went unanswered. Other people were waiting too. Waited around for 30 minutes and someone renting a room felt sorry for us and gave us the cell phone number for the person who works tje office, but no answer. An hour and a half after arriving, we finally get a call. Finally get a room and immediately regret it. Bathroom had ants and a funky smell (like cat pee). TV didn't work. No ac so the only way to get air moving is the window. Pillows were flat and musty. Thank goodness it was only one night.
