The location of this hotel is EXACTLY why I will be booking again. Despite the condition of the building, it is literally in the center of the Tahoe City community. Across the street from Commons beach, dining and shops next door, and a 7 minute walk from the nearest grocery store! The location cannot be beat.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part. We love a nice cold air conditioner especially at night, so that was the main concern.

Best kept secret place to stay (hiding in plain view in the heart of Tahoe City). I will definitely stay here again.
They could update the mattress in the room I was staying in because the edges of it were sinking in when I sat on it, but the sleeping part of the best was fine and I slept well.

Walking distance to the beach and town, which is very convenient. However, I was surprised there’s no A/C, and the room gets extremely hot, which gave me headaches. Internet was also quite slow. For an extra $50, I’d choose a place with A/C for more comfort.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room had everything we needed and the hotel is in a great location. They need to take more pride in the outside. The walkways and elevator was filthy and uninviting. It looks like nothing has been swept nor cleaned in the outdoor walkways and elevator for at least a year.

The location of this hotel was excellent! Right in the middle of downtown, very walkable. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. This big issue was the condition of the facility. Every common area was dirty, much of it was rusty and crumbling. A little cleanup and update would make this a great place to stay...
