A very nice little room to stay three nights in this beautiful area. You can walk in a few minutes to the lake. Parking in front of your room. There are several nice restaurants and especially Rosis Café where you get real good meals. Prices are ok.

I loved everything about Base Camp! It’s right across from the lake, right in the heart of Tahoe City, and an easy 10 mins drive to Alpine Meadows. Rooms were spotless, quiet, and the staff fantastic. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a quiet, safe, clean place to stay while in Tahoe.

Base camp hotels are ok, remodeled 60/70’s roadside motels. I would say they always lack insulation between the rooms, so it is noisy.

We loved our stay so much. Perfect space for outdoor loving sports minded people. Easy communication through texts made me feel welcome and in touch. Very thoughtfully appointed decor and ceiling fan and great shower. Cannot wait to return.

I really enjoyed Basecamp overall. I've been to the South Tahoe location before, so this time I decided to try Tahoe City. The service was just as excellent. I was a bit disappointed that this location doesn’t have a café like the South Tahoe one, and in mid-April, breakfast and brunch options nearby are pretty limited. Still, it’s a great time to visit if you’re looking for some quiet time and want to enjoy the beautiful views — the trail to see the entire Lake Tahoe is within walking distance.

This was our second stay at Basecamp. It has a very charming vibe with a wonderful lobby and exterior fire pits to hang out at in the evening. A little more attention to minor details would make this place a lot cooler. (on our first stay, we enjoyed beers at night in the bar/lobby. Good vibes. This time the music was so lame, we went down the road to spend our time.) With that said, the staff was very nice. The beds and rooms are very comfortable and the price is excellent.

We stayed 3 nights on a ski trip. Great location with a grocery store across the street, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and 10-15 minute drive to the mountain. Perfect for our needs.

Good basic motel accommodation. Recently remodeled to a “campy” style. Wool blanket bed cover was a cool touch

The hotel is nothing super-fancy but very very nice, the room was comfy and clean. It's a cross the street to a supermarket, a bus stop, you can walk to several different restaurant, they have, at the reception, a warm area where you can sit have a (free) coffee and pop corn and an excellent variety of beers (not free, but at an ok price), the staff was always nice and available, anytime, and in fact I have to thank Casey for his kindness and understanding because, the morning I was leaving, I had an unsuspected issue and he has been extremely nice and supportive, patiently helping me solving my problem.

Great setup all-around, and really wasn’t expecting the lobby to be so great- couches, fireplace, games, drinks on tap, s’mores and firepits. Definitely would come back next visit.

Living room lobby was like having a cabin but at a third of the cost. Loved this place!
