Ski Vacay

Good Value, Clean Rooms. Hotel is dated but works fine for us as we’re there to ski and are only at the room to sleep. Owners are very kind.

Good price, but questionable experience

Pretty run down rooms (no electric outlets covers and lots of electric splitters thrown on the ground for example), very tight shower stall, creaky doors. Beds were comfortable however. Also the blinds were good and kept the light out. Bottom of stairs had slippery ice which was dangerous. The parking lot is very tight. And there were no chairs surrounding a fire pit on artificial turf, like in the photos. Finally, this whole property is managed remotely through texting— checkin and check out are all by texting. No one at the front desk over night.

Tahoe ski trip

A very nice older motel that has been renovated and kept up. Clean room and very nice clean beds in good condition. Front clerk was very nice and hospitable. Plenty of parking in a nice neighborhood and convenient to various restaurant's locations.

Really great, friendly service. The room was clean, but in definite need of updating bathroom. Walls are thin and you can hear conversations of neighbors as well as every time they flush a toilet or use the shower. Still, since I wasn’t in Tahoe to stay in the room, I’d come here again since service was friendly, beds were comfortable and price was right.
