Not as pictured…at all.
We weren’t expecting 4- star hotelling, but the pictures were deceptive (and flat out wrong for the bathroom). Only one outlet on one side of the bed, one bedside light, and everything was dingy and patched (the patches weren’t painted). There was visible damage to the walls and a large crack in the ceiling. The shower was tiny. No phone or window screen, or even the usual “do not disturb” sign. Exterior was in need of considerable work. The smoke detector was -strapped- to the wall. There was no one to talk to when I checked out…and I noticed in checking in they had a sign up, that if I reviewed the place as I was checking in, they’d give you a $10 discount. We selected the room we did for handrails in the shower…not that there was space for them in the shower we had—and they werent there. And as we left, there was broken glass in our end of the parking lot. In all, this place gave the impression of a hotel from the early 70’s slowly being pushed back together by the owner.

For the price, this is a terrific deal. You can stay 100 yards north at the Tahoe Beach Retreat for $300/night and not sleep noticeably better. The staff are kind and helpful. Everything works. Clientele seems to be reasonably quiet. Location is fantastic. Just a terrific good deal.

Pienselo mas
Pienselo... La ubicacion es perfecta. El cuarto amplio. El baño TERRIBLE. La poseta estaba embarrada de popo, y drenaba agua por el piso. El lavamanos goteaba tanta agua que tube que poner la papelera para que no mojara mis pies. En dia sabado es muy caro para la mala condicion que esta el cuarto. Por solo emergencia lo tomaria, mas nunca pensando en disfrutar de vacaciones. Estoy intentando subir fotos y el sistema no me permite.

This is a great hotel to stay because of location and price! Right next to beach, cvs, Heidi’s breakfast and other restaurants. It’s easy to check in and out. And had no issues.

I never leave reviews unless it really warrants it. This place is disgusting and run down. The carpets look like they’ve never been vacuumed, our carpet had bees destroyed by a previous guest. The toilet didn’t flush. The door mirror had been ripped off. The ac smelled awful. Limited towels and pillows. Pay the extra money and stay somewhere else

This property should not be listed on expedia!! I have never stayed in a worse condition hotel listed on expedia. The bathroom ceiling had mold. The base decks had watee damage. The door was patched and not painted. The floors were dirty not mopped clearly seen on our socks. I would not recommend staying at this location!

We checked in late and checked out early- that could explain a few pieces of paper lying in the hallway. T room itself was quite adequate. The staff man on duty was very helpful and brought us what we requested promptly.

This property should not be listed on Expedia. The rooms are not updated? They have mold on the bathroom ceiling, base decks had water damage, patches on the walls were not painted and all the maintenance was poorly done. They also had tenants on the property. They were sitting outside in chairs so you can clearly see inside several rooms that they reside there? visibly seeing pots and pans.The property tenants were loud going up and down the stairs at 1am in the morning. I would not recommend anyone staying here. Poor upkeep to this old ran down hotel.

The place is very convenient. Close to everything want to go. Quiet, but the room needs a lot of TLC. The hsk. Skipped some of the items in the room, like no tissue paper, used exrta toilet paper, no wash cloths, only two bath towels, for 3 nites stayed. The front desk clerk is very nice.
