The location is perfect, we can walk to the shops and restaurants. The hotel is pet friendly and they have a goodie bag waiting for your fur baby. They also have a fire pit by the pool if you wanted to stay warm and chill.

Room was fairly clean, and the location was great for the rate we paid. Walking distance to the beach, shopping center, and lots of big hotels/casinos. The lack of in-person check-in was a bit unfamiliar since we couldn't really request any refills on amenities, but the bathroom was fully stocked with shower supplies and toilet paper. Shower was a bit older, but it did the trick. WiFi worked great, and checkin/checkout was a breeze. Parking spaces were right in front of the rooms, and there were plenty of spots available.

Room was nice enough. Check in was as easy. Called and got a text with the room number and code like an Airbnb. No complaints with cleanliness. AC kept me cool for the most part(it was wildly hot for Tahoe normally). Overall, I will stay here again for sure. One of the nicer non-casino accommodations. It can get pretty dingy in Tahoe lol. This place wasn’t dingy. Plenty of parking, or at least enough that I never had to park on the street. 8.5/10
