We have been travelling across the US and have stayed in more than 20 hotels/motels and this place ranks in the top 3, the shower was the best we have had. The bed was really comfortable, the room was immaculate and large. Parking was easy and the lady who check us in was lovely. We would 100% recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

Very nice little motel - close to the casinos, lake, and restaurants. We always stay here when in Tahoe. Price is very reasonable, but rooms are smaller than most other properties. Big enough for us, though.
