After reading all the reviews here, I really was thinking about cancelling my reservation. I decided to go ahead and try it out. The last time the wife and I were here, was about 7 years ago. Not really sure what to expect after reading the latest reviews. I reserved a Princess room for $99.00. The person at the front... more

Before we booked the place, we read most of the reviews so we were hesitant to stay, but did it any. But we also, came prepared from what others had said. 1) We booked through expedia that way, if needed we can complain to expedia as well- none so far 2) make sure to bring your own bedsheet and pillows...most... more

We have stayed at the Fantasy Inn many times over the past 15+ years. It has been our little get-away. We haven't been for over 3 years, but after going again last weekend, we will NEVER go back. When we walked into the room, the pillows on the bed were old and very used. There were three old couch type... more

The management is very shady and they are obviously running a simple scam: Take people's credit cards and charge them after they leave and never give them any explanation. I now realize I was not the only one they have done this to. I wish I had seen reviewes before I made the stupid decision to stay at this rediculous... more

My husband and I came on a slow day and they allowed us to look into the rooms so we could see whether we wanted to upgrade. That was nice but we realized after seeing some of the other rooms they all needed to be upgraded with new bed comforters and carpet. Our room was nice for $99 but I... more

my husband & I recently stayed at the Fantasy Inn in Lake Tahoe and were pleasantly surprised! The staff were courteous, rooms clean, hot tub jacuzzi right in the room, w/ all the amenities you need. It sure was relaxing after a day of skiing. O and the mirrors ALL over were quite a treat too ;o) more

I was surprised to see the similar posts regarding the Fantasy Inn and fraudulent credit card charges, but after trying to reach someone at their hotel five times, I realized the owner of this establishment is either shady, dodgy, or possibly a crook. My wife and I stayed at this place in late December. We paid in full on another... more

The Fantasy Inn is a non-smoking hotel. At the time of registration the guest signs a statement that states "If you smoke in the room, we will charge you a $250 cleaning fee. This guest disregarded the notice and smoked in the room.

I had a wonderful time with my girlfriend at the Fantasy Inn. We came for my birthday and the Mgr. gave us a free upgrade to a fireplace theme room, the room was very nice, the Mgr even gave us Vip passes to a really cool dance club called Vex and set me and my girlfriend up with a great... more

They charged me $250.00 on January for nothing. So don't ever give them your credit card #. I called the manager serveral times and all you get is his voice mail. I left him messages and he never returns my call. I have to ask my credit card company to investigate the $250.00 now. I even changed my CC #... more

We stayed there Dec. 31- January 1, 2009. Honestly, the hotel was good- even though the walls were paper thin (had to listen to neighbors). We booked our room months in advance- yet in December the Fantasy Inn charged us again for the two night stay. Since we used our bank cards- it gave us plenty of over-draft fees...but we... more
