Great bed, linens were nice, towels were fluffy. The staff was pleasant and helpful at each interaction. Had a great cup of coffee in the lobby for a very fair price. Had dinner across the street at Jake’s On The Lake, a Tahoe favorite!

I love this place. I always come here. I’m a local in Reno and I’ve always been happy. It’s great that you don’t have to drive anywhere. You could walk to all the restaurants as well. Staff is so friendly. The rooms are super cute and it’s quiet.

Only stayed one night. I didn’t have enough time to really see the grounds due to the short stay and being tired from a day at the lake. The location was good walkable and just a short drive to kings beach. The complaint I have is that the shower head was terrible could barely wash the soap off your body.

We stayed midweek in April (which is off-peak, “shoulder season”) and payed $150/night for a small double room with no breakfast, stay over service or microwave. I found the lack of microwaves, in the rooms or another accessible location on the property very irksome and inconvenient, when properties that charge less usually have them. They had one in their kitchen and 3 out of 4 of the front desk staff were open to heating food for us, but one was not, and he was unfortunately the first one we had encountered. The reason this was such a sticking point for us is that we are a family of four who came to Tahoe City to spring ski Palisades at Tahoe on a budget (we have Ikon passes and our own equipment to that end), and can’t afford to eat out for every meal, particularly at the sort of quant, medium to high-end restaurants that predominate in Tahoe City. So we typically buy prepared foods that require microwaving for one or more meals a day, and I didn’t relish having to go “hat in hand” to the front desk to ask them to heat four separate plates of food, particularly when the lac
