I made the reservation under my name, Adriana, for a Saturday to Sunday stay. However, my husband and I decided to arrive a day earlier. I called the property, and from the very first contact, we were treated with kindness and professionalism. The owner was incredibly helpful and allowed us to check in early without any problem. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt immediately at home. The hospitality and friendliness we experienced were truly special. The room was clean and cozy, and the location is excellent — close to everything and peaceful at night. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely recommend this hotel. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to South Lake Tahoe. Thank you for everything!
