If you just need a centrally located hotel to stay and do not care about service then you will do fine with this place. The rooms are clean but out-dated, showers are great. The location is super. No WIFI. I would not stay here again. They are not doing travelers any favors; the travelers do them a favor by giving... more

The hotel is excellent. The room, the location, the staff, and most other things. There were two setbacks. One: The thin walls. Two: When I went swimming in the pool, the walls were made of coarse or somthing like that. It was extremly sharp. I accidentally backed into the wall. My back started bleeding a bit. Overall, a great hotel. more

Me and my husband along with our puppy booked this place during July 1 - July 4th. The place from outside looks okay, once we went to our room in the adjacent building, I was shocked to see such filthy carpets and dumpy room. We called in to the front desk 3/4 times for various things not working in our... more

We could hear EVERYTHING next door, outside you name... more

After being rained out on our Memorial day camping trip we decided to head into Tahoe for our last night of vacation. Our requirements…an inexpensive and clean place near the casinos. We found that and more at Big Pines. The casinos are just a short, maybe 2 blocks, walk away. (This hotel is located behind where the old Holiday Lodge... more

We stayed at this property for 2 nights with my 2 yr old son in the last week of March after Easter Sunday. We had a really pleasant stay. Our room was clean with decent furnishings. Starbucks coffee in the room was added bonus. Bathroom had a standup shower - no tub. The breakfast was served in the lobby and... more

We stayed here for a week on a snowboarding holiday. The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff were all friendly and helpful, and the location is excellent. Less than five minutes walk from the Heavenly gondola and the free shuttle for Sierra at Tahoe picks up from right outside the motel. It's also handy for shops and restaurants... more

We went to South Lake Tahoe for a wedding and booked here for one night. We didn't want stay at an expensive hotel because we knew were just going up for the night and heading home the next morning. We checked out this hotel's website and it looked decent enough...though I think the cost is a little high for the... more

After reading the reviews here, I contacted the Motel. First sign of bad things, they insisted on immediately charging the full amount for the only night we were going to stay there. I should have known better: Never pay full charge in advance! When we arrived, there was a bus tour group. VERY LOUD people walking, screaming, etc. all over... more
