The View from the top floor!

Great location near the lake. Town is walkable. Hotel has no a/c and while it had a portable fan in the room, you have to keep the windows open for fresh air and the street below is loud until about 10p unless an emergency vehicle goes by. It's also a safety concern having to leave the window open. They're short on staff so they no longer serve breakfast (which we didn't know until we had already booked). The elevator is small and the place definitely needs an update however, the room was super clean, the bed and linens comfy, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room & staff were great! Best part, was the view from the 7th (top) floor, which was spectacular! We would definitely stay there again.

My perspective, rooms were dingy, pillows didn’t smell clean and in general needed updating. I understand the reason, but would not pick this hotel in summer due to lack of air conditioning.

This is a no frills motel/Inn. I have gone twice now and they do not have a daily maid service, the pool is full of dirt with no intention of emptying or using as a pool which is OK. This being said the Monday night to Thursday night rate is fair but, for a weekend stay it is outrages for what you receive- even for a no frills Motel/Inn. Again this is a Motel/Inn not a Hotel as advertised.

The location of this hotel is EXACTLY why I will be booking again. Despite the condition of the building, it is literally in the center of the Tahoe City community. Across the street from Commons beach, dining and shops next door, and a 7 minute walk from the nearest grocery store! The location cannot be beat.

Safety concern hopefully about to get fixed

It was fine, 1 exception: the stairs were damaged and a sign asked us not to use it and the elevator clearance expired a year ago. It’s a seven story building. One of these items should be in deemed safe and neither were. Stairs could be newly damaged so hopefully this was a rare exception at this hotel.

Don’t stay!

When we first arrived there was no parking in the parking lot. The only worker for the hotel came out and was trying to get people to park their cars so close to each other. Everyone was gonna get door dings. They asked us to put our car in the parking down underneath the hotel when we went down there my car bottomed out and scrapped underneath it’s a very tight space and I didn’t trust leaving it there. Secondly our room was very hot. There is no AC available I asked for a fan or somebody to fix our window so we could get air neither of those things happen. The next morning I woke up with bites all over my legs and a very sore back the mattresses are thin and hard. The pillows are old, thin and discolored. Friends that were staying with us took pictures of bedbugs in their room. I fear this is why I had bites on my legs. Our ice bucket leaked so we had to keep it in the sink in the bathroom. For $200 a night I feel like some response or refund is needed. Neither happed. Also they do not have a pool it’s filled with dirt and bark. Definitely love the area and the convenience of the hotels location but won’t book again.
