Great stay for the price
Overall great staff and location. Room was not the cleanest and the furniture had a lot of tear and wear. I am excited to see how they plan on renovating the rooms in the future.

Frustratingly, the main light blinks when you enter the room, the bathroom door is hard to open, and one of the table lamps is not working. Customer service is not even responding through phone, we still have to go downstairs to let them know the problem. Hope next time when we visit it will be different.

The WiFi wouldn’t work in our room even after we confirmed the WiFi code. The room was dirty with cheese it’s on the floor, a hotel key card from August and white stuff on the head board.

A little disappointed
I was a little disappointed there is not a lot of offerings. There’s only 2 restaurants and a store downstairs. And they didn’t off room service either. Overall, it’s a decent hotel the rooms are in decent condition. I did like our lake view.

One night in Tahoe
Check in was quick and easy , room was nice with a great view of lake Tahoe. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good ,but the price was a little high. 13.00 for a bloody mary, it was very good though.

Definitely not worth the discount
This property has really gone down hill in the last few years. I have stayed there previously and everything was good, not great but now it just feels like a dump.
The rooms didn’t have a fridge, there was no desk of any kind in the room, the shower temperature fluctuated during my whole shower, there were no amenities like a store or anything to purchase a drink or snack.
Luckily there was a CVS across the street but was inconvenient.
Parking is a sort of a mess as well.
I know they are redoing the tower rooms but that doesn’t really help me today.
I also understand that you get what you pay for so an $80 room midweek is a fair price but just felt like they should have closed the whole thing at once and redid it before reopening.
