Marriott Hotels & Resorts - accommodation in Pollock Pines

likes: EXCELLENT location in the middle of Tahoe City, available parking, had a fridge with freezer, clean linens and comfortable beds, shower pressure was fine and the bathroom was generally clean, pretty view of the lake from the upper floors, good check-in/check-out hours, had a system in place to contact staff if something was needed after hours (did not need this). oh and they allow dogs!! concerns: 1. AC would have been helpful - we discovered too late that there was a fan, and that may have sufficed, but, without either, it was hard to sleep even though it had only been ~80degrees that day. 2. the lower garage appeared to have been last used during ski season and was filthy - old sand, rocks, debris, dirty walls and dark/dingy. it hadn't been swept, etc in months. (The main parking area was fine.) The elevator was old and slow and definitely needed a clean but we were grateful it worked (we were on the 7th floor). The landing/open air hallway outside of the rooms definitely needed sweeping and mopping. overall, you are paying for the location and the place is clean enough where it matters. Attention to cleaning in the common, outdoor areas would go a long way towards making this place better value for the money

At check in was told there was a $50 added surcharge for amenity use, I told them didn’t want to use them, but they said I would have to pay it anyway. If I knew this up front I would have stayed somewhere else.

Clean room with fridge, microwave and a stove. Nice pool area but could get crowded.
