A little rough but manageable for one night. The staff was very helpful when dealing with a loud guest that kept us up. The staff is super friendly.

Good Option for South Tahoe
Great location less than one block from the Heavenly gondola and reasonably clean rooms with no strange smell. Overall, this hotel is a great option for the lower cost hotels in South Tahoe that are frequently terrible. The blinds need maintenance as they do not close properly. Need better instructions on how to use cable TV. Front desk could not figure it out, but the cleaning staff helped me.

It was alright
This place was alright. it was good for an average stay, from being out in the cold all day it was so nice to have the room warm. the shower was a bit of an issue. cold water would run even when u would just use hot water handle but then outta no where hot water would appear. it was clean as much as it could be, no mess and everything was good.

Nasty
Don’t believe the pictures……the room was so dirty we had to clean it. The door had a 2” gap at the bottom that let all the cold air in and to stop it we had to stuff towels under the door

The room was dirty. My shower handle wasn't even on the spigot. Just sitting in the bottom of the shower. It continuously dropped. The front desk just blew me off.

My recent stay here was good. The room was clean and comfortable, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I was hoping for a bit more. It’s a fine option if you’re looking for a basic stay near the lake and downtown.

8/10 Very Good

Close to Heavenly and access to Lake. Otherwise pretty outdated property but room was pretty spacious and some updating was recently done. Always hot shower and good water pressure, but I didn’t take my flip-flops off ever. Not the facility of luxury, but area was safe, quiet after 11pm and front desk guy was attentive and friendly. Not bad if you’re not looking to spend $200 on a room. Also good parking. Accommodates quite a bit of vehicles well.
