Cute place

The room was cute and cozy, plus the hotel was in the middle of the cute town. The lake views are fantastic, no matter what time of day.

Disliked: Amenities
Way too much deodorizer in the room, pool is a disgusting brown swamp full of vegetation and debris, and parking area and elevator looks like a junkyard. Whoever owns the place the property doesn't seem to care about it. That said, it's about what we expected for the price, so expectations weren't all that high.

The Pepper tree is a great spot in Tahoe City if your are looking for a no frills affordable spot it stay while you Ski Palisades and Alpine meadows. The PT is a quick 10 min drive to the base parking lot at Palisades. No hot tub but still a great place. Staff was great, as well.

Shower had no flow ...hardly enough to get wet. After a long day skiing, need a decent hot shower. Toilet didn't flush well either. View is great, however from 3rd floor and higher. Very convenient location in Tahoe city. Parking spaces might be too narrow...got blocked in by rude guest leaving me 4 in between driver side that required me to climb in from my rear hatch.

It’s great to still have a comfortable and cozy reasonably priced lodging option at the lake. We’ll return! Our only issue was that we could not get the channel to watch the rest of the Warriors game in the room —we've never had problems watching our Bay Area team/NBA in motels across the country during bballl season.

The hotel is worn out - tatty carpets, mouldly showers, rodent traps in the hallway, broken coffee machine, noisy heater... It's on the street, seemingly designed to catch as much noise as possible. Not worth the price - or any price, really.

OK, this property is in need of some repairs (especially the stairways!), but the rooms were clean & comfortable & even though the desk was only manned gor a limited amount of hours, the staff was very helpful. Dining option accross the street on the lake was lovely.
