At first, the place looks acceptable, but I only saw one person running things—there didn't seem to be any other cleaning staff. The man was friendly, but we didn't like the room; it was very neglected. There were cobwebs on the walls, I found hair on the pillows, and the carpet looked worn and dirty. Also, the headboard of one of the beds was coming apart and was completely covered in dust at the back. The only good thing was that it felt quiet at night—there wasn't much noise—and that was the only positive!

The motel is starting to renovate the rooms so the condition of the room depends upon if it's been renovated or not. I had a room that hadn't been renovated as yet which was disappointing. It was generally clean, but details were lacking. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so I chose to stay anyway.

Not a bad place to stay. Worth the price. Desk clerk was very friendly. The rooms and outdoor spaces were a little \"tired\" but clean. The TV didn't work - turned out that you had to hit the \"VHS\" button on the remote to connect it. Didn't think of that; a small note by the TV would've been nice.

The office manager was very kind and helpful . The room was very interesting with there being a bed in each room so it wasn’t just one room. It was two rooms that was cool. There’s a microwave and a refrigerator which could come in handy. The location is really good. Lots of places within walking distance and easily drivable if you’re going to Sand Harbor. But the place is very rundown and was not very clean. The bedding did not feel or seem clean. The parking situation is also very weird it’s very narrow which is typical of Tahoe but this seemed extra narrow. Also, our room had sliding glass doors, which didn’t feel safe when we left the room. Overall, we stayed one night. It was worth it for the price. If we were gonna stay multiple days I wouldn’t necessarily pick this place. If you just need a place to crash this place is fine.

This motel is older. The room was small, parking was difficult, and there was no air-conditioning. I was happy that there was a refrigerator, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, however, there wasn’t really a comfortable place to sit inside the room. I would probably not stay here again. I would rather pay a little bit more money and get a more comfortable room.

You definitely get what you pay for. Not having AC is something that they do advertise so I knew that booking it. But you don’t realize that you want the AC until you don’t have it. The room does come with a fan. Probably would not stay here again, but it got the job done in a bind.

This property is screaming, “Please update me!”. 1960s stained, worn furniture, dirty, navy blue shag carpet, attempted cover up of mold in the shower with silicone, stained towels, and overall just not clean. Almost took my shoulder out of the socket trying to open and close most doors. The ONLY amenities are a small refrigerator and microwave.
On the flip, if you want someplace quiet at night, well, if no place else is available, I guess this place will do. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice.

I will NOT be using Expedia for further travel; due to the experience we had at this property.
This property made it VERY clear that Expedia does not do any on-site Vetting, and if they do, they sure missed this one.
The room we had was dirty, the bed felt like it should have been replaced a decade ago, so that made the bed sheets, (that didn't seem to be the correct size) VERY susceptible to coming off, wallpaper was coming off the wall, desk chair leather was cracked and brittle (needed to be replaced), baseboard around the room had an extensive layer of dirt/dust on it, the bathroom baseboard was missing chunks at the bottom around the shower enclosure, hollow core room entry door was weathered and coming apart, roof overhang eves paint peeling off and rotting in many places, pool not operational.
Did not see any (per previous review), but my wife told me that she honestly thought we would be seeing cockroaches when the lights were turned on in the middle of the night.

Neil was an awesome and gracious host. He found a room even when hotels.com had booked the room for next year somehow and let us stay for the same price. The room is perfect for a getaway weekend close to skiing particularly if you want a more budget-friendly place to stay. The bed was comfortable and the sink/vanity looked new - there was also a mini-fridge and microwave in the room. The tubs/showers could use some renovations, but we did not mind given the convenience. My daughter also enjoyed the room and found it comfortable. Overall, it's what we were looking for to save some money and enjoy time of the slopes. We'll be back!

The rooms itself weren’t great. Even though we were told they have been renovated recently, it still seems pretty old, and some rooms I’d say are dirtier than the others. However, the services were fine, I asked if we can get a different room than the one assigned to us because we weren’t satisfied with it, and they did give us a better room. They even offered to give us a free night stay and give us a full refund because we weren’t satisfied with the first room, but it wasn’t necessary. I’d say the best feature is that it’s a quarter mile away from the beach, and it’s just easy for us to walk around the area without any worries. This place is also probably the most affordable deal you can get, so if you’re okay with not being in a fancy hotel and to save hundreds of dollars, this place might be for you.

A wonderfully quaint and quirky place!

This was our first time staying at this quaint little hotel. The staff was amazing, and very quick to respond to our needs. Like most hotels in the area, it was an older building, but that's what gives it charm and a unique experience. There was a full kitchen and a separate bedroom. Even though the water temperature had some difficulty staying in one place, the manager was on top of getting things in working order. If you have ever lived in an house that is over 40 years old, you know there are quirks that may need attention. The best part was knowing that the staff understood this, and were more than happy to tend to our needs. You just need to ask, so don't be shy when something isn't working right or needs to be taken care of. The staff know things are older and need more TLC.

Pet hair and stains on pillows

At an older, cheaper motel, you can't have high expectations, and it was fine for what it is, but the (pet?) hair and strange stains on the pillows crossed a line.
