Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel offers a lot of great perks. The pool and hot tubs are great! They have a fun activity center area with games, outdoor areas to bbq, movie rentals, plus a bar with pool tables. Very centrally located in South Lake Tahoe. For me the negatives of this property are the length of time it takes getting someone to give your keys to for the required valet parking situation. During check in time (4 pm) it took over 45 minutes! Additionally I don’t enjoy the concierge always trying to sign you up for time share presentations and the very firm beds. "
