Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was very cute and comfortable. Easily accessible parking and in and out to rooms. The beds were very comfortable. We had a suite and enjoyed the extra living room area with kitchenette and half bath. The only bad thing, but this is typical for Tahoe, no AC. But with the fans and sliding door open with screen at night, the temperature was ok to sleep.
