Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was spacious and enough for our family of five, the problem was that the bathroom was really small , the amenities in the room were not well maintained, the heating system was very noisy and not comfortable at all. Not at good experience this time compared to our first time in this Hotel the previous year.

Last minute decision to go to Tahoe and booked here. There is no front desk to check in with, everything is done via text and online which was nice. You retrieved your key from a lock box towards the front of the building. Solo female traveler and I felt a little unsafe here. The hotel is in need of some TLC. It was summer time and the linens were extremely hot! Air conditioning went on and off all night so it would wake me when it went back on and I would go from freezing to really hot. Bathroom, shower and sink were tiny. I guess that is pretty common in places like this in Tahoe. Overall it was a place to sleep. I've gone back since and did not opt to stay here again.
