Had a very comfortable and stress free stay during a busy week in South Lake Tahoe. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming, and let me keep my car parked there past my check out time, when parking around Stateline was at a premium. Appreciate the location, cleanliness and quiet setting, would definitely stay again.

The location was good. The voucher to get into the beach nearby was nice-- $5 to get into a private beach that would have cost $35/person. But we only got 1 per person in the room, and the beach was within walking distance so we only used it once. But that was a goody!

Excellent location for the price. The rooms and furnishing were outdated and not well maintained. Shower was tiny, 2/3 lightbulbs in bathroom didn’t work, blow dryer didn’t work. Would stay here again but bring my own towels, extension cords, water, coffee, blankets, sleep eye mask,

I didn’t book this room expecting a whole lot it was one of the cheapest options in the area, and it was my first time visiting Lake Tahoe, so I didn’t know what to expect. Let’s start with the service: the staff was very friendly. My room didn’t have a TV remote, but the front desk did everything they could to find one. I didn’t really need it, but I appreciated the effort. The room was clean, which was all I really needed since we weren’t spending much time there. Our routine was basically sleep, get up, go out, come back to change for the evening, and head out again. If you’re looking for an affordable place with a clean room and a shower, this is a good option. The price was better than most other places in the area, and the location was convenient just behind the main street, making it easy to go out, visit the bars, and enjoy the evening

The bed that we had was very sunken in and you could feel the spring of the mattress. Location was convenient, 10 minute walk to the casinos and all the shops and restaurants. I got what I paid for. I wouldn't be staying there again.
