Had issues with the smart TV not working in 1st room and staff put us in another room, but it was like a sauna - with only a fan, it was rough to sleep. The breakfast option in the lobby was nice. Staff was friendly. Brewery was great with good beer, live music, and good food. Would stay again, but only in cooler months.

Very happy with our choice to stay at Base Camp. The room was clean and large, and I especially left the balcony. Parking is a little sketchy with the tight spaces under the building, but if you can get one outside, there is no problem.

I loved how it sat in between some monster hotels but the size the rooftop patio, beer garden and fire pits gave it more of a base camp outdoorsy escape vibe.I loved its location between monster hotels, but the rooftop patio, beer garden, and fire pits gave it a base camp outdoorsy escape vibe.

Basecamp was great for our needs. The hotel is literally across the street from the Lake Tahoe Amphitheater (@ Caesars Republic). Great location with easy walking access to a variety of restaurants and shopping. The onsite brewery was great with nightly live music and games. Parking is tight and limited don’t show up late there won’t be a spot. Parking also appeared very loosely enforced despite parking permits for the property. Overall a fun easy property. Rooms were clean and cool all equipped with AC.

This is our 2nd time staying here. It’s definitely not a fancy hotel with a bunch of amenities. It’s the basic room that is comfortable and for the most part clean. The carpet could be a deal breaker. Wound be much better with tile floors. It is definitely convenient for entertainment at the lake. The coffee shop is nice. The grounds are a laid back vibe with a small bar.
