We had stayed in South Lake Tahoe from Christmas thru Jan 2nd and on our way out of the Tahoe area we got car problems. Our snowchains broke and ripped the brake line. No fun, especially not with a 3 year and 9 month old. We were towed back to South Lake Tahoe and tried to find a hotel for... more

Unfortunately, we needed to stay in South Lake Tahoe at the last minute and we needed to be there the weekend of Hot August Nights. So all lodging was outrageously expensive, if you could find an open room. Apex Inn was no exception. The room was tiny and old but basically clean. We paid a very, very high price for... more

After reading all the reviews on here, my boyfriend and I decided to stay here for one night on a snowboarding trip. You can't beat the deal. It was freezing cold but the heater worked great. The room is a decent size for what you pay for, nice big bathroom, microwave and fridge in the room. Very clean. I saw... more

I read some other trip advisor reviews about Apex Inn and they were all very positive. In addition the price was amazing for Lake Tahoe so I decided to book it. First of all I'd like to say that the staff was extremely polite, helpful and eager to help. Please believe the reviews that say the walls are paper thin... more

My wife and I liked this motel, but only because of the inexpensive rate we paid. The room is small, the bathroom clean, and the front desk very helpful, but sounds carry between rooms, so hope you have quiet neighbors. Neither my wife or I liked the bed, but of course bed comfort is a matter of individual taste. The... more

After having a terrible experience last year booking a room at the last minute for my annual President's Day weekend snowboard trip (without consulting TripAdvisor), I made sure to check TripAdvisor well in advance for a nice and inexpensive place to rest my head and I found it at the Apex Inn. The staff are friendly and accomodating. I really... more

Long time since my family was in tahoe but how great it was to pick this place. We were on our first ski weekend in a long time, and our friend told us to stay here. Rooms was great and very clean espically the bathrooms, and the sheets & pillows, were just like home. Room was warm & cozy and... more

I really want to give this small family motel a great rating but it had one major problem that just won't allow it. The unit we stayed in was clean and smelled great, had a good bed, plenty of hot water and seemed more like a guest bedroom than a motel room, for the price it seemed a fabulous deal,... more

Loved this place. We goto Tahoe regularly and have had our share of bad expensive rooms. We found this place by driving by and we were so pleased! The rooms are small, but absolutely clean and charming. The family running the hotel was nice, and let us see a room before renting even though it was late at night. I... more
