Oh how I hesitated to write this review. For the price, it’s “you get what you paid for”. The bathroom sink is in the main room, annoying. The carpet is old and musty, and, well you get the picture. The parking is a challenge, there are strange cement posts at the bottom of the support beams which separate each spot that look like they’ve been hit and scraped by many a guest over the years. On the upside, it’s in an ideal location. They allow dogs but we didn’t hear any barking until about 9am one morning out of the three nights we stayed here. The staff is very nice and the morning coffee was good.

On the positive side the property is within walking distance of a beach, many good restaurants, shopping, and casinos. They are cat and do friendly and parking is plentiful. On the less positive side, the property is a bit run down. Rooms are clean but also dilapidated in some areas. For example my room had an updated bathroom but a very worn out carpet.

I was charged for three nights while I only booked and stayed for 2 nights. July 9-July 11, 2025. Because it has now been 2weeks since I reported it to the inn and have not been refunded after 2 phone calls and 1 email I will report this to my credit card and Expedia today. Because I stayed during a very popular celebrity golf tournament the rates were doubled during this time. Would expect better service and a quick fix as it is an extremely easy mistake to fix. Will not be staying here again.

Overall experience was very good. Near lake tahoe I dont think there are very modern facilities in CA side. This is an old building but the rooms are well maintained. One small tight Elevator. Parking is tight for big cars if you want shaded garage spaces. but open parking is also available. Rooms are Big and spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

You get what you pay for. Room outdated and I couldn’t figure out the AC… the room was so cold and I couldn’t turn it off. I could hear the pluming from the rooms above us. It was very noisey. But the location of the property was conveniently close to all the things in south lake.
