Beautiful old hotel, very dog friendly.

It is definitely and old and dated building, but the interior decorating is visually appealing and the rooms are comfortable. We loved how dog friendly the hotel was and it's convenient location within the town of South Lake Tahoe.

A bit shabby chic. Lots of repurposed stuff. Easy walk to Heavenly and Stateline, and plenty of eating and drinking options nearby. Very quiet so got a really decent sleep after a long day on the road. Free breakfast is a real bonus.

We were here for 5 nights, the room was never cleaned. No clean sheets or towels brought, no trash removal. ā€˜Breakfast includedā€™ is an understatement.
Mold in bathroom
Never emptied trash, we used shopping bags to empty trash bin
Light in headboard too low, Iā€™m 5ā€ and couldnā€™t sit up in bed.
