A good basic, clean hotel if you're just needing a place to spend the night and don't want to spend a lot of money. We stayed on a Friday night before a hike and ended up returning late Saturday night when the hike went longer than expected. Despite the no vacancy sign they found a room for us which we... more

The place is clean, beds have clean sheets, the shower has running hot water and the toilet works. You would think this is the basic but some of the other places we stayed in Tahoe doesn't even meet the standards. At least the HoJo in Tahoe gives you a chance to clean up and get a good night sleep. There... more

There were definitely pros and cons with this hotel and for what we needed it for--close location to the ski resort while on a strict budget--it was functional. We were skiing for three days and just basically needed a place to shower and sleep. The accommodations were nothing to write home about, but like I said, we hardly spent any... more

I read reviews from Tripadvisor and other sites and was a little worried about booking the room and decided to take a chance. The room was very clean and things looked pretty new. The breakfast was pretty basic (prepackaged muffins, bagels and apples) but everything was clean and our bed was very comfortable. This was not a case of "you... more

If you want a lake view hotels, this is not your choice. Otherwise, it's a good place to stay. Less than 5 mins walk to the lake, and 5 mins driving to Casinos. The room is a bit old but clean. The breakfast is not too bad. The bad thing is the bad internet connections. The staff is very nice... more

It was a very busy weekend. I just gonna have to give it a try, surprisingly - Good Surprises, that they have... more

I would not recommend this place. It is filthy. Our key did not work in the front door, luckily the rooms have back doors. The pool and spa were out of commission. I had two TVs in my room, one was broken. (Why don't they pitch the broken one?) Trying to communicate with the Asian operators was trying. One of... more

For the record, I read many reviews online, especially on Trip Advisor, before deciding to book a room at this hotel. I'd like to believe that I was well-informed and knew what I was getting into at the time. When my wife and I arrived we were surprised to see that the pool was completely empty of water. Disappointed ,... more
