My wife and I were booked to stay at the Avalon Lodge in January 2012. Due to a death in our family, we had to cancel the trip/stay. When I contacted the management of the lodge, they treated me with respect and refunded, what I consider, a fair amount of my deposit. I certainly plan to do business with these... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here on a recent ski trip and we were so happy we found it. The room was great and had a really cool remote / thermostat controlled fireplace providing the heat for the room which was awesome (and romantic)! The bed was super comfortable and after a day of skiing, nothing could have been more... More

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! The rooms were a wonderful combination of cozy and elegant (the fireplace was an awesome touch). The staff made us feel right at home, and really went above and beyond our expectations. The best part was how they paid great attention to all the little details (soft linens, great lotions, a...

We found this place through a Groupon promo. We had been planning to ski at Heavenly so it was a great timing. The place is super clean and updated with rustic slate and finishings. It is heated by a gas fireplace that heats the room very quickly (and believe me it gets toasty in the room very quickly!). The staff... More

We stayed here for a few days in September, having booked at a discounted rate direct via their website, there was a small glitch with the pricing which the staff rectified when we arrived with no problems. When we arrived the receptionist was very helpful, sorted out a travel cot for us. Room was clean and well appointed and spacious... More

Someone has taken an outdated motel and put a lot of thought into remodeling the rooms to accommodate what travelers like. The beds are super comfortable, with nice linens. The bathroom has been updated with a nice stone walk-in shower and fluffy towels. The heating unit in our room is a wall mounted "fireplace" which creates a cozy feel in... More

We found out about the Avalon Lodge because of a Living Social special that was offered in Sacramento. We were just excited to find a spot in South Lake Tahoe for the weekend to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. We were not sure what to expect as the website showed the rooms as very clean and plush but no real... More

2 nights of very disturbed sleep on the 1st floor of this motel. Was relieved to get home for some rest. Upstairs neighbors had 2 large dogs that played all night. Drunk people shouted outside the window at 2am. Nice staff and bathrooms. Rooms a bit dark, but OK. Overall not a good experience and will not return. More

Comfortable bed, clean bathroom and linen. Gas log fire in the room gave a nice feel whn it was snowing. Give it a go, it has a lodge feel and was reasonably priced. More
