The room was in bad need of being updated with new appliances that were all plugged into a dangling power strip! The phone didn't work at all (not even a dial tone and the manager came to our room to check and see that it was plugged in but never got us a new one). The tub (old red paint showing through in spots of white paint) and bathroom had recently been poorly repainted with un-cleaned up, dry paint all over the floor! The fireplace only had flames for 5-10 min so there was no ambiance in the room. Some of the windows wouldn't open so we had to run the noisy A/C all night. All in all, I paid way too much and would appreciate a refund! The only thing pleasant was RJ, the manager.

For some reason, we ended up with the ADA room without requesting it. So, there was no jacuzzi but the shower was quite large. The bed filled the majority of the room but we didn’t need much space so it was fine. All the amenities were great, especially the fire place. The day we were checking out the cleaning staff kept knocking on our door early in the morning to see if we had left so they could get the room ready, which wasn’t a big deal it was just pretty early so I thought it was abnormal. Overall, great place! Walking distance from downtown mostly.

The room itself was nice looking. But the fire place was the only source of heat so as it would turn on throughout the night to keep the temperature it was so loud and woke us up every time. The bathroom window also needs some type of curtain as there was a street light beaming through it all night which also made it hard to sleep and then when the sun came out it was unbearable to sleep as I was being slapped in the face with the bright light.

We have stayed here before and both times weren’t the best. The first time they were remodeling the room above us with no warning for our 3 night stay. They worked from early in the morning until late at night. We couldn’t figure out what was happening until we saw them throwing furniture off the second story. We finally asked them on our last night to wait to start until 9am since it was a weekend and we came to relax. We decided to give it another try considering they were doing upgrades. This last time there was no hot water in the morning, no microwave, a broken coffee pot, and old pizza and garbage in the dresser. I really hope they work on things because the location is amazing and the look of the upgrades are looking good.

Location was easy to get to. A lot of shops nearby. Views were nice. The room was clean, a little smaller than the photos show. Our sink was leaking, the jets didn't work in the rub and our shower light was out. The stairs on the proprty are very steep so if thats an issue i would ask for a bottom floor room. When i told front desk about the few issues, they didn't seem to care. I would stay here again but probably ask for a different room if these things didnt work.

First of all don't get confused by negative reviews. I had my doubts after reading but had an great experience. Their manager name Harjeet was very friendly, respectful, and helpful. When we got there, he greeted us and gave us the room key. We went to room it was very nice and well maintained. But our Jet tub wasn't working, after notified they came right away to check and move us to upgraded room. We booked 2nd last from full luxury one, please when booking room look at pictures and read description otherwise easy to get confused. I thought they should have checked jet tub but then realized how much water is wasted and things do get broken. Main thing is how they deal with you after that and Harjeet did amazing. Not only he was very apologetic but also very humble and gave us the most luxury room the one with all wooden walls. Yes quality of room is ok according to reviews but our rooms were tip top. Heater work great, no smell but since made of wood it can't be super quiet. So far 4.5 starts for them and please try it yourself, you will not regret and also give them a chance if something happens. They have the best service. Beach is only 5 min drive with fence for private beach. You can go there for free if no one is on duty. Parking at hotel is limited basically the one near to rooms, first come first serve. Rest have to park in front of hotel which is 2 min walk. Hot water comes instantly and they have plenty of supplies. I would definitely go again and recommend everyon

The wooden room pictured is not what you get!!
The front desk guy said it was from the Aspen and blamed the 3rd party for the image.
The rooms were very nice though and that is the Secret. They also charge $35 + tax fee if you want a late check out and they only offered us a 1 hour later time. We had to walk to the hotel next door to check in and out as stated on the closed lobby door which was odd. The outside looks like something would just drive by but the rooms were clean and nice with a jacuzzi tub and a Big nice shower. It was located in a great location off the strip. They could improve their customer service but overall is was a decent place to stay for the money.

We stayed for three nights and overall the biggest plus was the location of the property. It is walkable to all of the state line activities and the lake. The room is very small, and the furniture was a little outdated and beatup. The fire place was a nice touch and made the room very warm. The AC worked good. The jacuzzi was a nice touch. The major issue we experienced was the lack of hot water in the shower. On two of three three days the shower had no hot water and was ice cold. The hot water in the restroom sink and jacuzzi worked great. We asked for a bottom floor room if it was available but management said they were all booked. We noticed three of the bottom rooms were under renovation. The property was a small property. The room did have a mini fridge and one coffee package. The wine glasses and coffee cups available were a nice touch.

While I appreciated amenities like the jacuzzi tub and fireplace and the close proximity to the Lake, this motel is very rundown. The room was extremely beat up. The faucet for the jacuzzi tub dripped all night long which kept me from sleeping well. The floors creak loudly and the rooms are not soundproofed at all. The office staff were super nice and very helpful as I was arriving on a late check-in. They were aware I was a solo female traveler and made sure I had safe, easy access to my room key and room. The inn is located walking distance from both the main hub of South Lake Tahoe and the lake itself which is very convenient. If a bit of money was put into upgrading this old motel, it would be an excellent place to stay. As is, I might recommend it in the off season when it’s quiet, but could see it being a nightmare during busy season.
