The property is aging, but the room was clean and the view from the 7th floor where we stayed is unequalled. The property is close to so many amenities.

Property appears to be in poor overall condition. No air conditioning so our room was hot until about 3am. Did have all the basics....towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Good location. Id probably stay again but normally all im looking for is a place to lay my head and get a shower.

Good rate, view, clean room, nice staff -- it was still mostly off season. TV channels are terrible, but you don't go to Tahoe to watch TV.

The room was standard, we got in late and left early so it met our needs for a place to sleep. We originally came up for a concert in South Shore and by the time I booked the hotel South Shore was either sold out or way too pricey. I will say the drive from South Shore back here at midnight was SKETCHY so if you plan the same thing try to avoid it. Tahoe City itself was so cute, lake access, shops, food, all great. The staff though not super friendly did allow us to check in a little early and were fully accomodating. Overall this was a good experience and would stay here again if i was staying on the North Shore.
