The location of this hotel is EXACTLY why I will be booking again. Despite the condition of the building, it is literally in the center of the Tahoe City community. Across the street from Commons beach, dining and shops next door, and a 7 minute walk from the nearest grocery store! The location cannot be beat.

Roadwork was going on all night while we stayed there, including jack-hammers on the street directly under our room. The view was nice, the staff friendly, but the sleeping was poor. I feel like the discounted room rate should have been discounted MUCH more.

Best kept secret place to stay (hiding in plain view in the heart of Tahoe City). I will definitely stay here again. They could update the mattress in the room I was staying in because the edges of it were sinking in when I sat on it, but the sleeping part of the best was fine and I slept well.

This is a no frills motel/Inn. I have gone twice now and they do not have a daily maid service, the pool is full of dirt with no intention of emptying or using as a pool which is OK. This being said the Monday night to Thursday night rate is fair but, for a weekend stay it is outrages for what you receive- even for a no frills Motel/Inn. Again this is a Motel/Inn not a Hotel as advertised.
