One of the rooms the door wouldn't close and lock; all of the rooms had mold in the bathrooms, they weren't clean. It was unsafe and unsanitary. We had to move our employee's to another facility. We will never be staying at this hotel again and we are in construction and have a project in Tahoe. So we will have our crews out there till the end of the year.

The staff was very nice, the front desk lady is so very kind and polite. Had a minor issue checking in and the front desk lady, was very helpful and understanding and very accommodating to help me. Very polite and happy and lovely attitude :) Had great recommendations of things to do around there :)
The room was lovely, we booked a one king bedroom (2ppl). The room was very big and spacious, nice and very clean. The mattress was actually very comfortable, no dents, nor smells, they actually smelled very clean. No weird smells, and no smell of smoke or cigarettes at all , not in the room nor outside.
Would love to stay here again :)

The bathroom was horrible, literally mold on the tiles on the tub floor. The faucet handles for the shower were just barely working and they were just two knobs out of a broken tile holes! The walls are paper thin so you could others in the next door rooms using the bathrooms disgusting. The room itself was old work out carpet with furniture not fit for donation.

1 night stay and chosen for proximity to Lake Tahoe South area following a long drive from our previous destination. Nice welcome and we had a great room, very spacious, fridge and microwave. Good bed and pillows and free parking so it suited our purpose and we enjoyed our brief stay. Staff very helpful and a great location to explore the South Lake area

We stayed in Room 28 (7/2–7/5/26). Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The room smelled damp and musty, and the carpet was already wet when we arrived. The shower flooded every time we used it, leaving inches of standing water on the bathroom floor and leaking into the carpet. We reported it that night and were told maintenance would check it the next day, but no one ever came, and our room was never serviced during our stay.

The room was also not clean—we found a half-empty SunnyD bottle, a water bottle under the bed, and used press-on nails beside the bed. We didn’t have enough towels, and after asking for more because of the flooding, we were told there weren’t any available. We ended up drying off with hand towels and bath mats. Our room was also missing window screens, and the lights flickered whenever they were turned on.

The only positive was the woman working the front desk. She was kind and clearly doing the best she could, but she appeared to be working alone and didn’t have the resources to address the issues. Lake Tahoe is beautiful, but the condition of the room and lack of maintenance made this a very disappointing stay.

Le llamamos a la señora que pienso era la dueña nos movió a otros cuartos nos dio 2 cuartos lo cual fue genial mis 2 hijas mayores tomaron uno y mi esposo y mi hija pequeña nos quedamos en otro, se resolvió todo l problema,
La limpieza le faltaba más dedicación quitar sarro de las regaderas y algunas reparaciones.

The room was ok. A bit expensive at $450 a night. The room had big chucks of paint peeling off the walls in the bathroom, the bathroom floor is extremely slick tile, and the shower sprays SCALDING hot water every minute or so while in use. It is as if the cold water just get routinely shut off once a minute. I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL BATHING YOUR CHILDREN IN THERE! The grounds are minimally kept. However, the staff was amazing and always kind and polite.

The hotel check in late night (11pm) was very smooth the front lady was very nice, quick and easy.
Now the room was a complete different animal. Shower had a missing glass door, and it was replaced with a curtain that doesnt work, the sides of the shower leaked and hosed the whole bath room floor. Bed was extremely uncomfortable to the point of my youngest son said the bed wasnt easy to sleep on. The walls are all dirty. Its a place to rest your head at night I would say, nothing past that. Bathroom had a very moldy smell to it, the baseboards look like they been soaked over and over. The sides of the dresser/tv stand had nasty stains on them. For the price we payed we atleast expected to have a somewhat decent room.
We only stayed one night due to arriving earlier than expected for our other reservation. Weve stayed at multiple hotels over the last 15 years out here and this was by far the worst.

I've stayed at $65 a night hotels that id recommend before this place. Stain on curtains around table. When they were closed was not noticeable when the curtains open dark brown line almost looked like blood but I did not get a picture I just told myself it was coffee so I could sleep ok.. decor said days in ... Would be ok if it wasn't obvious that they slapped some paint on the walls around where the kept the photos ... wrong color mind you brown on cream walls screaming min max profit light holes in walls from moving stuff white plaster visible. There was only one person behind the desk was not even for a full 8hr shift. I was asked by multiple other people staying how to check in properly not having the same issue they had so just bad experience. The pool was obviously filled in my assumption to eliminate the need to clean and maintain a lifeguard on duty.. there was a small cooking station in the room but no coffee pot to me this is just another min max no coffee pot means they don't need to provide coffee. Over all they need to lower there prices or up there standards because I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

This is a budget hotel so expectations are lower. We booked last minute due to a winter storm and got stuck in tahoe. They ran out of rooms so they moved us across the street to sister hotel elevation hotel which had lower reviews so i didn’t book that but i had no choice. The bedsheets had cigarette burn hole, walls had patchy paint, live wire behind the cabinet, you can hear everything from outside, and room had a weird stench. Pros was it had a microwave and a heater. Good enough for a night to sleep in.
