We got a room here to be in walking distance of Heavenly Village. A cute place, enjoyed the atmosphere at the beer garden and fire pits, very walkable. Cameron at the front desk was fantastic and very helpful. However, as long as you're fine listening to your neighbor's conversations (and other sounds) right next to you or get lucky enough to have the people above you pacing back and forth until 3am every night and can hear every step because the walls are paper thin you'll enjoy it. If that isn't for you (and we're still catching up on our sleep from it) you may want to at least make sure you get a room on the top floor. Other than that, we did find it to be a cute little place. But wow, those walls - so thin.

I’ve stayed at Basecamp South Lake twice a year for business and always had great experiences — until this recent trip. Unfortunately, my reservation was lost, and the front desk staff showed no empathy or willingness to help. Their attitude was essentially, “it’s not our problem,” and they refused to work with the website I used to resolve the issue. I was left without a room and had to find another hotel at the last minute. Sadly, after years of staying here, I’ll be looking for a different place for future visits.

The room was ok, with lots of space to sleep for a family. The parking was a bit tight, especially when there was a rock concert nearby and we couldn't find parking. Walkable distance to the lake and to the street with lots of restaurants and shopping.

For the price, it was okay. The room smelled funky and it was too warm. With no AC, I tried to keep the windows open, but there was music playing pretty loudly. I think the place is maybe better suited to a younger clientele. I stayed at the Tahoe City property and it was better. I won’t stay here again. I’ll splurge for a nicer place with better amenities.
