Our family, in-laws and another family stayed the weekend. We got a one room deluxe suite, one bedroom suite, and a junior suite. It worked out perfectly.

“Nice Hotel by the Lake”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

We booked this hotel the night before we arrived on our motorcycle trip through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The room we got was the King Great Room which was a single King bed in a very large room. Each room has its own balcony but the balcony is not private meaning that you can see your neighbor on theirs (no... More

While our friendly competition will do anything to get a 5, detailed reviews such as yours are what make Trip Advisor worth reading. Thank you for taking the time to write. Incidentally, our bi-level spa is back in full operation. Come up and try it sometime. A typo appears in a review response which follows stating we are 100 "years"... More

“Pretty Decent & Close to EVERYTHING”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

I have found this place pretty decent for the most part. It's clean and friendly, the rooms are comfortable and our A/C works which is really nice. Although we didn't get a lake view room which would have been very nice, it didn't really change my opinion, yes there is a trailer park in our view, but we really are... More

“OK, but getting old”

Reviewed May 8, 2013 via mobile

We have been staying at this hotel for years because the price is right. The staff has always been helpful, professional & friendly. The Hotel, however, is definitely in need of a face lift. The heating/cooling system seems outdated & struggles to keep up. The spa jets were non-functional so it was like sitting in a hot tub of water.... More

What a relief! Initially, I thought you were refering to the age of management and was relieved when you specified the Inn. Yes, IBTL opened in 1982 and we have worked diligently to keep it in good repair, friendly and clean. Now that the economy is greatly improved we are working on plans to update our architecture and overall look.... More

“A good stay!”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

This place was recommended to us by a friend and we were pretty happy with our stay - especially for the price we paid (about 100 dollars for 'lake view' room). Positives: - Room we got was extremely big and good value. We did see the basecamp hotel and in comparison felt this room was much better value for money,... More

We were of course pleased that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your very constructive input. We apologize for the apparent machanical noise which disrupted your nights sleep and will investigate this further. Our 5 acres do feature numerous Jeffery pines, most of which tower over our guest room buildings. Our website shows actual views from our lakeview units. Thank... More

“Good and bad, mostly bad.”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

Upon check in the front desk staff was friendly. After a ten dollar tip he gave us extra bath robes for the hot tub which was nice since there were 5 of us. We had a German exchange student staying with my wife and 2 daughters. We wanted to show her Lake Tahoe. The location of the hotel was great.... More
