Had an absolutely amazing stay. Check in was quick and easy! We got a partial lake view and unfortunately got there a little later than we wanted so there wasn’t a lot of options left but the front desk rep went over our options and the pros and cons of each, including noise levels explaining about the DJ near the Tiki bar. We were given drink tokens for our welcome drink and s’mores kits right away. I was a little hesitant about staying here as I had read all the bad reviews and was pleasantly surprised when we walked in the room and it smelled fresh and was very clean including towels and sheets. Would have to say if planning on using the beach, get there early it does fill up, especially when there are events. It is on the pricier side but definitely worth it in my opinion. We will definitely be staying here again!

My experience was disappointing. The room was not ready at the desired check-in time, and when it was finally given, it was dirty and not well maintained. On top of that, the staff’s rude behavior made the stay even more unpleasant. I expected better hospitality and cleanliness.

Super cute place with lake views. There was a tiki bar right on the beach which was a great place to socialize and grab a drink. You could rent beach chairs and cabanas from the tiki bar too. The bartender at one of the restaurants was super nice and helpful and the restaurant above the pier had amazing views. They offered smores kits for free every night, which we enjoyed at one of many of fire pits on the property. Additionally the property was really close to a lot of convenient places like Heavenly Gondola, the casinos, the outdoor concert venue, and a 15 min drive from Emerald Bay. I would 10000% stay here again.

Excellent location and nice amenities. Right on a beach so you can walk out in your slippers and enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe. Has restaurant where you can get a quick bite and mourning fresh coffee for free. Safeway store is across the street, very convenient. Staff is very helpful and professional.

It is definitely NOT a resort. Its a Motel next to the lake. Rooms were small. Thankfully we changed to a different hotel the same night. Bathrooms were so dirty. This place doesn’t look anything like the picture. Only pro amongst all the cons is that you can walk to the overly crowded “beach” But its definitely a Motel and not a resort !

This property could be AMAZING, however it is heartbreaking how dirty, musty, and out dated everything is. There's a fridge, no microwave. Our 1st room was so dirty we switched to another room after the 1st night. My son got out of the shower and walked to the bed and his feet were completely black on the bottom. The 2nd room wasn't much cleaner and the next 3 nights housekeeping NEVER CAME! We had to go to the front desk to ask for clean towels. Thankfully I travel with an extra roll of toilet paper and box of tissues, bc we needed them! The TV wouldn't turn off, so we had to unplug it. Once plugged in again it never turned back on. Not the biggest deal, but just added to our over all bad experience. Our 1st room was on the 2nd floor and we switched to the 1st floor to have easy access to the "garden" area thru the back sliding door. The door was more than difficult to open and close (of course we made sure the lock bar was down before trying to open the door) we ended up having to walk out the front door and around the back of the build for her to go to the bathroom. The air conditioner said 61° running constantly, and never came close to that. Bathroom window, while glazed had no curtain as the 2nd floor room did so we had to keep the window shut so no one could look in the screen. The comforters had blood stains on them, in both rooms! The gentleman at desk(who was leaving to go back to school) was super nice about everything and helpful. S'mores were a highlight.

It was on the beach and close to most things. However for the price I expected things to be better. The room was noisy, no body wash in the bathroom & the shampoo and conditioner worked poorly. There was a constant tapping from the air conditioner from the A/C above us dropping water, and the parking was terrible.
