We had a 3rd floor room mid week overlooking the pool area. Our room was very clean, housekeeping did an excellent job. Our only disappointment was the lighting in the room, not enough of it, very dark. We rearranged the lamps and all was fine. The jacuzzi was so relaxing, fluffy robes in the room kept us warm after we... more

Because of our small dog we were on the first floor, but still had a lovely view of the lake. We faced the highway, but had no excessive road noise. The location was excellent, service and cleanliness were fine, so we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again. more

We'd reserved a King Great Room with Lake View, and requested a quiet location on the third floor. Our requests were granted, but when we went to our room upon arrival were very disappointed, as the view of the lake was mostly obstructed by the back of a building and trees. Went back to Reception, and Christy was helpful, sweet,... more

Thank you for your very constructive input. Your detailed comments on views will no doubt be of assistance to other travelers. Inn by the Lake is spread over 6 acres located directly across the street from El Dorado Beach and beauitiful Lake Tahoe. The Tahoe Basin was basically clear-cut over 100 years ago for lumber to shore up the silver...

After researching South Shore possibilities from VRBO to Trip Advisor, I booked Inn by the Lake for our recent trip to see Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan at Harvey's. This property is in a great location mid way from the Y to state line and set back off the highway (HWY 50) so road noise is minimal. A mature property... more

Previously, I had responded to your very kind comments. Must of pushed the wrong button as my response was not posted. In any event, thank you for your very informative remarks. Incidentally, that was Willie Nelson's RV in our parking lot. We had the pleasure of accomodating he and his family when they performed here in Tahoe. Like you and...

This place is very good. Actually, I am currently still in the room writing this review. The place is very clean and staff are accomodating. We are a bit dissapointed that the hot tub was not working last night. But now I think its working again because they are filling it up with water. I made a request during my... more

Thanks for your helpful review. We try to fulfill special requests whenever possible. Sorry about our bi-level spa being down for the day. We try to keep it operational year-round but will not compromise safety or sanitation. Please come back to see us again soon. Best Regards, Dan

The "almost" has to do with road noise. But if you're in the middle of the town of South Lake Tahoe and you want to be right by the lake, well, you're gonna be near route 50. Can't be helped. But that is the only negative. We had a room with a balcony that overlooked Lake Tahoe... I dunno, maybe... more

One of our guests favorite lawn games is horseshoes. So, we'll settle for "almost Perfect." In this day and age saying a businesses website is accurate is quite a compliment. Thank you! Best Regards, Dan

After staying in a nearby RV park for a week, we decided to stay at IBTL for a couple of days. Upon arrival on July 3rd, we were kindly directed by a staff member to on off-site parking place for our RV, since there is no room for parking RV's on the premises. We got a king bed with a... more

Thanks for sharing your Inn by the LaKe experience with others. Typically, we have space in our parking lots for an RV or two. However, as you witnessed, the 4th of July is a very busy period due to our great lake and fireworks view. We own the property behind the Inn which offers additional overflow parking. Delighted that your...

Our room was nice and clean and the bathroom big. We traveled with our 4 yr old and he really enjoyed the pool. Great location and plenty of parking space even though we came at a busy time (4th of July weekend). Staff are friendly and helpful and the general manager, Dan is always around to help the guests. One... more

Thanks for your kind comments concerning your recent stay at Inn by the Lake. One of the reasons I feel that TripAdvisor is the most credible site for travelers comments is that they allow an owners response. While we thrive on positive feed-back, we learn from constructive criticism. We try our best but can not be all things to all...

We enjoyed our stay at the Inn by the Lake very much. We got a free upgrade to a big room with a kingsize bed with lake view. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with anything you asked them. I can higly recommend this hotel! more

Delighted that you enjoyed a great stay at Inn by the Lake. During slower occupancy periods we endeavor to upgrade reservations when possible. Even now as we enter our busy summer season we are pleased to offer a number of value priced packages and discounts. In this challenging economy we all need to get away to re-charge. Best Regards, Dan

I've been staying at Inn By The Lake for over 15 years, and I feel it is the best value in Lake Tahoe for me because of its comfort, service, and location. We stayed in Room 340, a one bedroom suite. It was too big for us, but the kitchen meant we didn't need to eat out for every meal... more

First of all let me thank you for being such a loyal guest over the years. Your kind comments are very much appreciated! Your detailed commentary also serve as an excellent guide for new visitors as to what we are and are not. Inn by the Lake is a true Tahoe experience. We feature great lake views from much of...
