Blackjack Inn

The Blackjack Inn is affordable, clean, comfortable and well run. The staff is always friendly and maintains the site well. The parking spaces are a bit tight but there's always parking for all guest. The staff checks the parking lot periodically to make sure that only guests are parked there. When I'm in South Lake Tahoe, The Blackjack Inn is my 1st choice...and this for 4 years now! :)

Location is excellent and the driving factor to our stay. The front desk gal was exceptional, gave recommendations on what to do as well. Cleanliness seems to be an issue however. The bathroom needed some help. The shower collected about 2 inches of water, therefore the drain needs attention. Also the exhaust fan had approximately 2-3 years worth of dust caked to it. Otherwise, bed and pillows were comfortable.

The location was great! Walking distance to everything. The hotel was quiet, clean & safe the staff was nice & the heater worked perfectly. The only thing was that the beds & pillows are very hard and not comfortable at all. Also the shower was backed up and took a while to drain. I would recommend to ask for extra blankets because they are pretty thin and it was a little cold at night. We stayed 3 nights and would definitely stay here again next time!
