All three stars are for the beds, which were amazingly comfortable - deeply plush, stacked to the rafters with pillows, and bedding included a fleece. Employees (surly, but that may have just been my migraine fog) attempted to be helpful but could not manage to alter my booking from two nights to a single night despite paying on site, and charges were roughly $20 than quoted for unknown reasons. Heater ran loud and clunky most of the night despite being set at sixty, room smelled a lil funky. Breakfast service started late and consisted of prepackaged bagels and frozen burritos.

Good value

Good place. Will definitely stay here again. It’s not the most modern place but for the price it’s a good location and it’s relatively clean. Main complaint for me is thin walls, but same can be said for any hotel in this price range. Checkin and out super easy, great on-site parking. There is some freeway noise, not too bad. Just bring earplugs and all is fine.

Simple but clean

Let’s face it, the hotel has seen better days but you know, it was clean. What more can you ask for? The breakfast was super basic and largely forgettable.

Decent but deceptive

Decent hotel for the price. The website needs to be transparent about their 'pet-friendly' policy. Upon check-in the sign on the counter said pets would be charged a cleaning fee of $40 a NIGHT. When I asked for clarification about how that was possible since no where else on the website was this referenced the clerk said 'well that's the policy & the charge'. Really? Per night? That raises the reasonable price of the hotel room by 30%. Have never experienced anything but a flat one-time fee.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. But few things in the room could be improved. No hair dryer, too much light coming in through the window shades at night. Overall, the room left us much to be desired.

expensive for a 2* hotel but worked logistically

Staff was very nice and helpful, but it took us a while to get in our room because the door lock mechanism needed to have its batteries changed. Loved the nespresso machine and it was a much better Continental breakfast than others I’ve seen. The beds were comfortable but the hallways were dark and the rugs have seen better days.

The inn is conveniently located a few hundred feet off highway 80. Despite this proximity, it is very quite. We had no traffic noise in the room (#310). Accommodations are basic / rustic. The room is not updated and a little rundown, but it is clean and provides the necessities for a short stay. The inn istself is very basic as well, but in good working condition. There is a bar / brewery and a little convenince store a few steps away. Breakfast is very basic and we skipped it in favor of local diners. The staff is friendly and efficient. We stayed 2 nights and the room was not turned over. Not sure why. Not a big deal for our needs though. Overall a convenient stay and less expensive than other spots, especially on ski break week.

Tahoe is expensive. This is a budget and dog friendly alternative. No frills but staff is nice, rooms clean, and as convenient as it gets.

Perfect for ski outing!

No frills hotel that was perfect for skiing. It's centrally located with easy access to Palisades/Alpine and Truckee. Additionally, there is an HPC EV charging station 100 yards away. The breakfast is minimal but is fine for getting food and coffee in the morning. We'll be back in the future!

Convenient for skiing in Tahoe. Friendly staff, comfy beds. But quite noisy from the highway and other guests. Walls and ceilings are thin- try to get a room upstairs. Also: so much grey, brown (in the bathroom!!!) and beige; a bit depressing. Bring some color to the place!
