Bear in mind I'm not saying this is a five-star hotel (obviously), but for the money this place was legit. As a student I'm usually scraping the bottom of the piggy bank to do anything other than sleep and study. Girlfriend and I came up to Tahoe for New Years this time around. As usual she took a while to... More

Our family of 5 stayed here one night en route to Yosemite from Sacramento. Location was good and we stayed above the motel office in a family room that could sleep 6. Room was basic but comfy with modern en suite bathroom. Aircon was noisy and ineffective though. Proximity to restaurants was good. We chose the nearby Mexican which was... More

This is an amazing Motel. It is very clean and has a nice cozy feel to it. The people who work here are very kind. We were here during a blizzard and the heater blew out, and the guy that was shoveling the snow came in and fixed it in the middle of his work! Don't listen to all those... More

I've stayed here at least 4X in the last two years, so I think I have a pretty good sample: Here are the reasons for the title of my review (top value in tahoe): -price -location (quiet -minimal road noise, walking distance to Burger Lounge, Cantina, 7/11) -VERY RECENT refurbished rooms, so lots of new carpet, bedding, paint, and such;...

I have arrived to this motel at Friday early afternoon, looking for accommodation for one night. I was told that only one room (their most expensive one, probably) was left. Now I suppose this was done just to put pressure on me - the "vacancy" sign remained lit until the next morning... Asking about that, I have received several "stories"... More

This is a motel on a road of many such motels. It is close to S. Shore parks and beaches and Fallen Leaf lake - hiking, sailing, swimming etc. It is a very convenient location and seems to be well kept up considering its age What it is: comfortable bed, fully functional and well-equipped kitchenette, as much hot, great pressure...

What a quaint hotel that is built where the trees grow throughout the complex which makes the rustic hotel theme suit the location. The parking lot has been configured to make the most of those wonderful California Redwoods and Pine trees. Staff is friendly and courteous and the rooms are clean and neat. There are several restaurants within very short... More

We stayed here in early June and had a very pleasant experience. The receptionist was very perky and happy to help with any request, such as the heat. We were afraid that it would be chilly at night and asked if the heaters were working. She said that the pilot lights were off on most units for the summer but... More
