Perfect for what we needed, a budget hotel for one night within walking distance to the events center. Tons of shopping, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Easy check in. Room was clean but a bit run down, didn't bother us.

Not bad for an expensive Town Like South L.Tahoe.

Not hotel room but u a bad stay. Price was a little high for a typical hotel room but this is South Lake Tahoe. The place was a little small but is kept very clean. Shower and sink faucet water was slow to warm. Bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows if you don't like to sleep flat. Location is excellent next to shops also Harrah's and Caesars Republic Casinos are about 430 steps away on the sidewalk. I booked with Hotels.com for $208 for 2 nights. I may call the hotel directly the next time I stay there if I do not have comp stay at Harrah's.

No luxury…. Overpriced

So awful. Absolutely disgusting just like most of the old nasty Tahoe rooms. Someone should require that they update. Should not be allowed to rent out these slums.

Good place to stay!

We went to watch our daughter’s soccer game and needed a room for the night. We were greeted warmly and felt very welcome. Our room was comfy and clean. My only complaints were 1. the towels were very worn out and a couple had stains on them. 2. They need to get a new mattress pad. The one on our bed was all balled up and I could feel them through the sheets. The bed was very comfy and we had a peaceful night! This place was centrally located so we could walk around and get dinner and check out all the many shops and places to see!
