The hotel is nothing super-fancy but very very nice, the room was comfy and clean. It's a cross the street to a supermarket, a bus stop, you can walk to several different restaurant, they have, at the reception, a warm area where you can sit have a (free) coffee and pop corn and an excellent variety of beers (not free, but at an ok price), the staff was always nice and available, anytime, and in fact I have to thank Casey for his kindness and understanding because, the morning I was leaving, I had an unsuspected issue and he has been extremely nice and supportive, patiently helping me solving my problem.

Cozy Adventure Motel with cool vibes

We had a great time at Basecamp! We love the adventure motel vibe, there is a warm & welcoming common area with a fire & coffee, tea & hot chocolate. Great location, very walkable to the restaurants, shops & cafe in Tahoe City. There's a little slice of Lake Tahoe from the parking lot (the weather was storming so not sure about the view from the top deck). Beds were comfy & rooms were cozy, it's a refurbished motel that's cozy and cute decor. We love these types of adventure motels with common areas so we'll be back!

Above average motel with a funky, campy touch. Nice welcome. There was a happy hour event, but I did not attend it. Good-sized, comfortable room. Heater worked well and quietly. Room is a bit dark, even with all lights on, but it was good enough. Good price for the accomodation. Not a big fan of having the window opening directly to the corridor, that forces you to keep the shade down for privacy, but I guess that's standard for a motel. Will likely return, as it's one of the best accomodations in that price range.

Excellent spot In Tahoe City (15 minutes to Alpine Meadows) with unique atmosphere and solid attention to detail in terms of presentation. Comfortable beds in a cozy room. Really nice lounge/reception area and 3 different fire pits on charming patios. Super nice and helpful staff (shout out to Casey)! Couldn’t have expected much more. Very cool vibe.
