"Was allowed early check in without an extra fee. Super easy too. Email said fee for parking but told there isn't a fee, so don't pay the $10/day. Room was really spacious. Clean and comfortable beds and bedding, although one had some sagging. Fridge, but no microwave. Lighting was not great. I suggest brighter light bulbs. Great A/C. Close to downtown shopping area and the beach. Room allowed dog, but adjacent beach did not. Was able to find dog friendly restaurants and beaches online, however. Biggest complaint is the cleanliness of room. Ares behind/under beds need cleaned. Tile floor near sink and in shower need deep cleaning, including grout! Overall, would stay again."

"Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and attentive staff member. He was very thorough describing the property and amenities. The room was clean and well maintained. Lots of parking spots that could accommodate large SUVs and compact cars alike. Very comfortable bed too. We will be returning."

"I didn’t book this room expecting a whole lot it was one of the cheapest options in the area, and it was my first time visiting Lake Tahoe, so I didn’t know what to expect. Let’s start with the service: the staff was very friendly. My room didn’t have a TV remote, but the front desk did everything they could to find one. I didn’t really need it, but I appreciated the effort. The room was clean, which was all I really needed since we weren’t spending much time there. Our routine was basically sleep, get up, go out, come back to change for the evening, and head out again. If you’re looking for an affordable place with a clean room and a shower, this is a good option. The price was better than most other places in the area, and the location was convenient just behind the main street, making it easy to go out, visit the bars, and enjoy the evening"

"The location of this hotel is awesome -- a 2 min walk to the gondola (and you can see the gondolas running above you from your room), and walking distance to the main drag on Lake Tahoe Blvd, with access to great restaurants and other conveniences. The staff is super helpful and friendly. We had some maintenance issues with our initial room, and they were promptly dealt with. The grounds, the rooms, bathrooms, bedding, floors and other items in the rooms are kept very clean as well. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is the aging structure, furniture and cabinetry. Despite the cleanliness, we could not avoid noticing how dated the rooms were. As mentioned above we had to call maintenance a couple times (a clogged sink, and a leaky toilet), the walls were quite thin, and the floor boards creaked and were uneven in lots of places. If you are staying in a downstairs unit, you should expect to hear muffled conversations and creaky floor boards of your upstairs neighbors too. All the bedroom and bathroom doors in our unit were either misaligned or "sticking" as well. We only stayed three nights, so they were not deal breakers in the grand scheme of things, but they did detract from the overall experience."
