Stayed here recently for one night. Hotel/motel has well designed public areas that are welcoming. Quirky/cool use of color/textiles in rooms. Bathroom has terrific shower. Rooms are very clean with comfortable beds. Walls are very thin, though, and for me that's an issue that would prevent me from returning. Continental breakfast is included in the rate (bagels, cereals, muffins, coffee,... More

Stayed here two nights in mid-May as part of a week-long trip through Northern California. Great location. Super clean rooms. Good, competitive rates. The staff were super friendly and clearly take pride in working for a fun and unique establishment. This place has a great vibe so you'll likely meet fun-loving people either in the hot tub, sipping wine on... More

During a West Coast Tour we stayed for 3 nights at the Basecamp Hotel and we loved it. It was special, superfriendly and modern. Even a Hut Tub existed. Breakfast was great with FRESH Orange juice!!! We did not have that even in 5Star Hotels on our trip. Rooms were lovely and the whole Basecamp style was totally ours! We... More

Such thought and style put into little details that make this place really special. In the heart of South Lake Tahoe and apart from busy, noisy, smokey casinos, it has an ideal location in a truly unique design.

Coming from Boston, my husband and I visited in February for a skiing trip and had an amazing week here. Old motel converted to an chic boutique hotel with an outdoorsy vibe, it was upgraded clearly with an eye for details. From the pipes for shower towel rods to camp lighting fixtures with clean, trim lines with a local feel... More

Despite being in the shadow of a couple huge casinos on the Nevada side of the state line, Basecamp is a wonderful hotel that treats its guests very well. They carry the basecamp theme through all their graphics, but the place is very comfortable. It has a sense of fun in its decorations, but they are serious about your comfort.... More

Just got back from our stay at Base Camp and wanted to write a review because we really loved this hotel. The place has great style and a really sweet staff. Our room was really fun and right next door to the casinos. They fed us a delicious breakfast in the morning and gave us tips on where to go... More

Stayed 3 nights in March, '13. Cute place but on balance overhyped. No bathtub, bathroom floor is FREEZING, two pillows only on bed, uneven wireless service, no frig, very small room, ancient and loud wall heater, very marginal "breakfast." I expect a little more for $159 a night.

Basecamp is simply a great little hotel gem in South Lake Tahoe. As everyone else mentioned the renovation is beautiful and I even found myself taking photos of the room and colors to remember for my next home project. Very modern and warm. The staff was great, extremely accommodating, and very welcoming of our pup. We loved our stay!
