Weekend Trip

Great location! Great price point. However you will get what you pay for. There were very few amenities. The pool is not open. There is no free breakfast. It's almost like staying at a motel. But with a great view! Additionally, all of my food went sour in the fridge which I have no idea how that happened. The manager does plan to reach out to me regarding that situation. Also the stairs and railing seem a little bit unsafe. I was on the the 6th floor with under two and it was a little worrisome.

I never leave negative reviews, but this one was well earned. It was terrible. Dirty, dangerous broken steps, gross room, terrible bed. Literally an awful nights sleep. No ac and the in room fan was broken. It was so bad we checked out the next morning and didn’t stay the second night. We were still charged for two full nights. I would never ever go back there. Do yourself a favor and never stay here.

Room was very small. No AC and a simple fan. At top of elevator there was no way to open windows for fan while maintaining privacy. Elevator was old and very dirty. Mattress was horrible. You could feel the springs through the bedding.

The hotel was probably nice in the 1970's, but hasn't been maintained since. Lights burned out, bird poop, terribly weathered, pool filled in with dirt, everything dirty outside, crappie repairs in the room etc. The worst part was the all night jack hammering in the street in front of the property. I talked with the construction supervisor and he said they informed the hotel management 5 days before we arrived and they did not even mention it. Trying to sleep with jackhammering from 9pm to 6 am is not enjoyable on a vacation.

The location of this hotel was excellent! Right in the middle of downtown, very walkable. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. This big issue was the condition of the facility. Every common area was dirty, much of it was rusty and crumbling. A little cleanup and update would make this a great place to stay...

Property appears to be in poor overall condition. No air conditioning so our room was hot until about 3am. Did have all the basics....towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Good location. Id probably stay again but normally all im looking for is a place to lay my head and get a shower.

The room was standard, we got in late and left early so it met our needs for a place to sleep. We originally came up for a concert in South Shore and by the time I booked the hotel South Shore was either sold out or way too pricey. I will say the drive from South Shore back here at midnight was SKETCHY so if you plan the same thing try to avoid it. Tahoe City itself was so cute, lake access, shops, food, all great. The staff though not super friendly did allow us to check in a little early and were fully accomodating. Overall this was a good experience and would stay here again if i was staying on the North Shore.
