My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was top-notch, close to everything and with a lovely Indian restaurant nearby, but there were some issues with the room and dining experience. The room seemed clean but had some drawbacks like an uncomfortable bed and noisy heater. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and even helped us with a forgotten luggage piece. The dining options were basic and not very appealing, but the facilities were well maintained and the price was budget-friendly.

My stay at the hotel was quiet, clean, and comfortable, but could use better cleaning until 6:00 p.m. I appreciated the friendly service, even though there was a small oversight with my luggage. The location was great with easy access to nearby attractions. The dining options were a bit repetitive, though.

The hotel had some drawbacks, like the door locking mechanism falling off in the room and unsealed toiletries, giving it a budget feel. Despite this, the staff was incredibly helpful. The location was the best feature, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and Lake Tahoe. However, the breakfast was lacking in options and disappointed me.

I found this hotel to be a great value for the money. The room had a fridge, which I always appreciate, and the available parking was convenient. It was quiet and reasonably priced compared to the resorts but still close to restaurants and town activities. However, the room was a bit old and could use an upgrade.

Upon checking in, I was disappointed to find that the room did not have the amenities as shown in the photos, and it looked outdated and dirty with extension cords scattered around. However, the staff were friendly and informed us about upcoming hotel upgrades. The location is perfect, especially being close to Lake Tahoe, with added bonuses like a lovely Indian restaurant nearby. The dining options were very basic and not worth it, but the price was low for the additional room and pool access.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are in need of some repairs but come at a very reasonable rate. The outside bench is a nice touch, although the TV is outdated compared to some rooms. The service is a bit slow but the office manager was friendly. The location is a convenient spot close to Lake Tahoe and within walking distance to shops. The dining choices are limited, but there are American pancakes available. Overall, it's a decent stay with room for improvement.

I chose this hotel mainly because it was pretty cheap for Tahoe, and I have to say it was quite affordable. The rooms were already available for my 3-day stay, which was convenient. However, the place could really use a remodel, and I feel bad for the staff having to deal with so much from customers.
