It’s a cheap room no cleaning not even taking out trash or clean towels. Office is empty most of the day. Bathroom ceiling leaks when the other room upstairs showers.

The entire hotel is poorly kept. The parking lot is a giant pothole with tiny spots, the carpet is disgusting, the furniture is falling apart (the dresser was missing a chunk in the corner or a drawer and the tabletop was completely loose and unusable), the shower didn’t drain properly and sounded like showering in a silo, and there was a random noise in my room at night that sounded like something small falling in the trash can that woke me up many times (kind of creepy honestly).

The only good things about the hotel, the guy working the front desk was nice enough, the towels were clean and the A/C worked well enough despite being from the 80s.

Overall I didn’t visit Tahoe for the hotel, however, for over $200 a night the condition is unacceptable.

Pros: Location was great, the lake was across the street! You are right in the middle of everything, next door to CVS, and Heidi’s breakfast spot. Comfortable beds, safe location.

Cons: The room is old and is in serious need of an update. The sheets on one of the beds had stains, THEY WERE CLEAN, but it would be better to just get rid of stained sheets. The bathroom needed to be cleaned better, definitely not cleaned how it should have been. But with that said, we did have a great stay, the room for the price was good, and I would stay again.

The room was dirty, the sheets and towels were stained and had human hair on them. Fridge was dirty, room was dusty and mirrors had hand prints all over them. Room was dated and in poor condition. I paid 250 dollars for one night which was a rip off. Receptionist did give me new sheets which I put on myself

Air conditioning and hot water worked and were a plus. Carpet was filthy, bedspreads were dirty, white lampshades were covered in black dust. I have photos and will upload them if that option is available in this survey. The shower drained very slowly. No one was available at checkout.

We walked in the room and the conditions were so bad that we left. The towels had hair on them, the bed was dirty (hair, dried blood, dirt), and there was mold in the shower and on the ceiling. We left immediately and had to sleep in our car. The young gentleman at the counter was the only positive of the experience. He was polite and helped expedite the refund process.

Got the king deluxe room. The worst bed I ever slept on and could feel every spring. And every spring was worn out. The A/c unit seemed newer and worked well. Sheets had stains, carpet was stained everywhere. In general felt old and could hear everything with thin doors and walls

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. During our stay, the window panel unexpectedly came out of the frame and fell into the room. This is an extremely serious safety hazard. As you can see from the attached photo, the entire window panel ended up inside the room. My friend was scratched when it happened.
What made the situation even worse was how the hotel handled it. Instead of focusing on guest safety or investigating what happened, they immediately blamed me and demanded that I pay $150 for the damage. I paid only because I felt pressured and wanted to avoid further confrontation.
I was never shown any evidence that I caused the window to come out of the frame, and I still don’t believe I should have been held responsible.
If you’re traveling with children or anyone who could be seriously injured by a falling window, I would think twice before staying here. A window should not come loose and fall into a guest room under normal circumstances. Safety should be the hotel’s top priority, but that was not my experience.
I cannot recommend staying here, and I will not be returning.

We were very disappointed in the condition of the room. The A/C unit was not working correctly and left the room feeling humid with a musty smell. The staff gave us a box fan as a solution. The room was too uncomfortable to sleep well.
The carpet was missing in two separate areas leaving just the pad exposed.
The bathroom had brown rusty looking mold on the baseboards.
Overall, the room was disgusting, but we were unable to find anything else in the area that was within our budget.
I called and spoke to someone at the hotel and asked for a refund, was told that they would have to talk to the staff and get back to me and I have yet to hear anything back from anyone
I would NOT recommend staying at this hotel.

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled. I’m one to book a room based off reviews and this particular hotel seemed to have good reviews and the hotel photos gave the impression the rooms were fairly remodeled and clean. That was not the case when we checked in. We were in room 106. The minute we walked in it was one thing after another. The room was filthy, mirrors splattered, something splattered on the ceiling, shower head broken, tub knob comes off when you turn the shower on, bathroom light wouldn’t turn on, a light fixture on the wall was half hanging off which could pose a safety hazard, the hairdryer and iron didn’t work, and this is just to name a few. I went to front desk and asked for a different room as this looked nothing like what we booked online. She said there was only one room available and when she showed it to me, it was worse! Broken tiles and all. She offered us a discount for our stay which we accepted. Upon checkout I was told what my discounted amount was going to be, but they did not honor that. Expedia got involved and ultimately made things right, but I feel the hotel should take accountability. I have no idea where these good reviews they receive have come from, but I urge you to view customer uploaded photos. I wish I had prior to booking. They may have some updated rooms, I’d like to think the photos that used aren’t fake, but I can tell you the rooms surrounding 106 were unsanitary and beyond run down.

Room was not cleaned at all. Toe nails on floor by entry door. Peek hole had toilet paper crammed in it and left there. Spider webs everywhere. They didn't even look behind the entry door when they opened the door or something cause there was trash and the toe nails. SO GROSS!!. The walls have something nasty that looked like it splashed and was just left. the entry door was falling apart and rotted (I could have kicked it and it wouldn't have survived (Safety and Security issue). The bath fan made a horrible noise, so I had to stand on the toilet to wedge something in the motor and tighten the screw holding the grill in place to stop rattling.

The shower did not drain hardly at all! Took about an hour for the water to go down after showering. Nasty standing in sewer water while trying to shower. Asked if someone could snake the drain. A young kid showed up with a drain weasel(small plastic barbed thing) as we were leaving. Returned later in the evening and it was no better for our shower. We called and they said it's just how the tile is installed and it wont drain!!!!Was told they were sold out and nothing could be done. We stayed in room 132. I have lots of pictures. Please call me at 805-709-1183. This room should not be rented until it gets taken care of. I forgot to mention how nasty the A/C is and needs to be cleaned. The a/c on a positive note, worked well. - Jacob Patterson

From the moment you walk through the dirty glass door of the lobby - which the lobby was also not clean - to the parking lot - to the woman sitting on the steps in her underwear smoking a cigarette outside of our room - to the very disappointing room itself, nothing was good. We didn’t stay, even after prepaying. I took the keys back to the lobby…waited 10 minutes for the clerk who didn’t come back…wrote a note and left the keys on the desk. You better check this place compared to the picture, descriptions and reviews on your site. It was awful. It reminded me of a weekly pay motel where people live on the wrong side of town.

The room was clean, the A/C worked without any issues, and parking was great because there were always spaces available. The staff can be a little tricky to rate because they are not always on site, but given that this is more of an economy stay, that was understandable.

Overall, Hotel Elevation is a practical place to stay if you are trying to avoid the crazy hotel prices in Tahoe, especially during a busy weekend like July 4th. It is also very convenient that there is a breakfast spot right next door.

That said, the bathroom could use some maintenance and deeper cleaning, especially around the tub area, where there were some stains that should be addressed.

In short, this is not a honeymoon-style hotel, but it does the job. If you want something affordable, convenient, and simple, it is a solid option.

Upon arrival, we noticed the front door looked like it was broken into at some point. The carpet was coming off the floor. The bathroom has cracked tiles and poor paint cover up jobs. The shower drain did not work. The bed had spiders and blood stains. There were holes in the walls. The towels were crusty, like it hasn’t been washed. The staff were nice and the location was good, but those are literally the only positive things. I would not recommend staying here unless you’re passing through or unless you have no choice due to a holiday week like us.

Old and run facility. Found some hair on my pillow case and bed sheets. Towels didn’t feel or smell fresh. No funky smell in the room. Comfy bed. Only 2 outlets by the table so no chargers near bed. The light in our room was strangely located in the back. AC worked nicely on a hot summer day. If you’re in a pinch last minute like we were for a night then it’s fine but I wouldn’t recommend for long term stay.

Room had a very musty smell. Mini-refrigerator was unplugged creating another smell besides the room. The microwave was also unplugged. This created a little havoc with the outlet since now I had to unplug the lamp. Windows would have been nice if they opened, especially in the bathroom. Bathroom had no vent fan so after a shower took place made things inconvenient. No instructions where given by front office on check out procedures.
Room was very overpriced for what it was.

It’s an okay hotel if you stay for one day but even then it will take them about 2 weeks to even begin processing your 75$ fee, and for 75$ plus the room to pay you would think they could atleast clean the room while your out vacuum a bit change the towels maybe, but no they clean every other room but yours, everything has to be done over the phone especially asking for new towels but if you need them earlier than 8am bring your own they only give you 2

Where do I start. Upon check-in we immediately noticed the paint bubbling and peeling off the walls in the room. We open the fridge to find it had mold inside, it was turned off and left to defrost and grow. It was night time so we cleaned it ourselves. After we clean the fridge I took a washcloth and wiped the table tops just to see and Lord behold it was brown . At this point honestly I don't know why we still stayed but we like to camp so we've been in dirtier situations . The ice machine is in a room that gets warm so the ice is partially melted when you get it and you have to use the door handle in a quick downward motion to even get the door open which I figured out. The pictures are deceiving, there is no beach access, there is a hotel directly behind it with fencing all the way around blocking you from entry and the rooms look nothing like the pictures, as a matter of fact there's one room with a white door on it and no door knobs, the blinds were open and you could see in there that it was the picture room haha! We found a workaround for access to the beach and just got my honey a scheduled massage at the spa in said Hotel so that we could have access. We did not see any staff for a majority of our stay until the last day and I advised the manager of some of the issues. Didn't really get much of a reaction like I assumed I would, just a vague response and partial blaming of staff. I will however say that the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

Let’s start with the good: the location. You can walk to the beach and Heidi’s restaurant and a souvenir shop are right in the parking lot. Check in doesn’t start until 4 but by 8 it is after hours. The keys are left unsecured for you to pick up. I specifically booked a room that had one bed and a bunk bed. Expedia showed pics and we arrived to a room with 2 beds. When I called, they said they don’t have bunks anymore but offered a cot. The toilet did not flush well. We had to throw all our tp into a trash can because it wouldn’t flush down, and we called the desk but not sure if they did anything while we were out. We had to rig the chain with a safety pin. When we first got into the room, there was a used tissue on the floor next to the bed and a/c and there were multiple hairs and debris on a vanity counter. The coffee machine was filthy inside so we didn’t use it. The only accessible outlets are in the bathroom or attached to a high light in the closet area which needs to be on to use, or behind a nightstand where the lamp is plugged in; however, plugging anything in there causes a spark and the light to flicker and no plug can actually stay in securely so it’s not usable. One bed is inches away from the a/c so plan to freeze if you want the fan or a/c on.

My car broke down in Lake Tahoe, and I was in need of a last minute room to stay in while repairs were made. I was able to book a room at this Hotel for a reasonable price and made my way to the hotel. Check in appears to be at 4pm but I was able to check in before that with no issues. The room was pretty simple a bit outdated but nothing that would affect my stay at this hotel. The room is conveniently located within walkable beach area, store, and quick places to eat. Overall it was a great stay I would stay here again when I'm in town.

Only outlet in the room was for the tv besides the one in the bathroom. Asked for an extra towel because they only give you one. He said I’m here alone I get you one later. 10 minutes later he’s walking to the back to do his laundry I never got my extra towel. There isn’t a noise restriction hour.
