The Alder Inn on Ski Run Blvd in South Lake Tahoe off the beaten track by only a few blocks offers solitude, a very comfortable bed with good linens, a room that is well appointed with tasteful décor, good towels, and cleanliness. The strong water pressure shower (better than home!) was a plus. Because there are only 24 available rooms... More

Stayed here for one night only but would definetly go back here. The new owner welcomed us, he actually gave us a beter deal when we checked in. He told us that they start "upgrading" the exterior of the hotel within a few weeks. Rooms are really nice, don't expect a manderin oriental/standard motel interior but a complete and funky... More

We were a bit taken back as we drove into property. By description we expected a "boutique" hotel or inn. What we saw was a badly in need of updating motel. But the rooms were clean funky and well decorated with great extras. The owner Spence could not have nicer. Made apologies for appearance due to renovating. I suspected when... More

We stayed at this place for 2 nights on our last trip to lake Tahoe. Its close to heavenly village and Lake Tahoe Blvd. It has differently themed rooms with beautiful décors. We loved our cowboy themed room. Owner is friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable. They were flexible on changing some room furniture per our needs, late... More

Cozy as in what the marketing department says about small units. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Linens and towels were nice, room was clean. Buildings are a bit dated and designed around skiing. Wear is showing, door to room had to be forced to open. Value for price is fair. Made me wonder why others ratings were so high.... More

We booked based on the glowing reviews on this site and weren't disappointed. Despite its age, the hotel has obviously been renovated and the owners take great pride in ensuring its appearance and facilities are of a high standard. Our room was a standard size - the type you would have expected of a roadside hotel in the '60s and... More

The Inn is conveniently located on Ski Run, which is a short walk to the Lake and the shops in South Tahoe. The room was a decent size, water pressure/temperature was good, and the heater keeps the room warm without making a lot of noise. The pool was closed when we were here over this past Memorial Weekend, but the... More

It was nice to meet the new owners and hear of their plans for this lovely inn. We stayed in Sept of 2012 and since we were traveling through Tahoe again, we were glad we could stay at this inn once more. Room was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was great after our drive. Good location for walking... More

This little gem of a place met all the high expectations you get from reading the reviews. Yes, the rooms are interesting, comfortable and clean. Yes, the location is ideal for walking to the lake and several good restaurants. In fact, it's probably the best place to stay in winter to avoid the long lines at the gondola with fast,... More
