“Nice, Clean, Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

We just stayed there one night and was pleasantly suprised. Took a chance and drove up from Sacramento on Labor day weekend, and they had a room. The staff and valet were extremely friendly and helpful. I knew about the weird layout from the reviews, and sure enough there's a big ol hot tub in the middle of the room. Only good if you stay with people you know really well as the shutters can be opened rather easily...and it's not easy to take a shower in. But other than that the room was nice and clean. It says it was remodeled in 2008, which the carpets seem pretty new and also the furniture, even though it's decorated a bit in the 80's. Overall I would stay there again.

“Friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012

Spent a week with friends at TSR. No lake views, just at the bottom of Hevenly Ski parking lot. It would be perfect for ski season. They only had Valet parking unless you wanted to park on the street (very little traffic). The room plan was not great--LR, bathroom/large tub with jets, then microwave/fridge-table in bedroom. There is a step up into the bathroom area from both the LR and BR (as it is in the middle of the suite). I'm not sure why there were so many mirrors. Thank goodness TSR kept with the posted pool/hot tub hours--voices and noise carried very loudly to our room and we were on the 8th floor! What made the week staying at this facility was the people. From the front desk to the Bell persons (Steven, a fav), the Concierge (Dany a fav), Valet (John, Alberto and the guys), to the Security person Wayne, Sandra who came x2 for chair massages and Norma--the housekeeper; all were very friendly and willing to share their knowledge/stories. The hot tub outside was very hot and the pool was very refreshing. The breakfast was enough for 2. The little gift shop/market had reasonable prices.

Room Tip: Ask for the side away from the pool

“Bizarre property”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012

We've just returned from staying at the Tahoe Seasons. There are good and bad things about the place, and, for us anyway, the bad outweighed the good. First, the good:
1. Location is nice, away from the main part of town. Close to the Heavenly lift , which you'll appreciate if you come to ski. You will need a car to get around, however.
2. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, especially the concierge and the valet people. The front desk staff is a little grumpy, but since they're the ones who get the complaints about the issues this place has, it's understandable.
3. Our unit was clean and the midweek housekeeping service was good. Yes, the furniture is dated and not the most attractive, but that didn't bother us at all.

The bad:
1. Valet parking only. I do not like to use valet parking and, had I been aware that that's all that's allowed here, would have booked elsewhere. There is limited parking on the side street, which I did use occasionally. That having been said, the valet staff was exceptionally good. I just want the option of not having to use valet.
2. No laundry facilities. Not en suite, nor anywhere on the property. BIG drawback. There's plenty of wasted space on every floor of this property which could be turned into a laundry room. Why not do it? Ended up having to spend precious vacation time in the laundromat.
3. No cooking facilities in the room. If you're traveling with family, this is a major issue. Yes, they have microwaves, but that's it (and they're not large). No stove, no cutlery, plates, cups, pots, etc. When we asked to borrow silverware we were given plastic ware, which was insufficient for dealing with our restaurant leftovers, and told the property had no permit to allow cooking. Huh? They have BBQs and a breakfast restaurant!
3. Many of the rooms are below ground level. Ours was, and it was extremely dark, even in the middle of the day.
4. A lot has been said by other reviewers about the weird layout of the rooms. The huge spa tub which bisects the units is a classic example of bad architectural design. Anyone who has mobility issues would be unable to bathe, since the shower unit is located in the tub and you have to awkwardly step down into the tub to use it. It also sprays all over, even if you close the really strange shutters which surround it. The only thing the tub is useful for would be an orgy, since it probably seats more than four, but regulations say you can't use it after 10:00 pm. Where's the fun in that???
5. The pool. Well, it's miniscule. If even one child is in it don't even attempt to get in, because it's so small you won't be able to maneuver. There's also a hot tub, but it's pretty small as well. Another big disappointment, since I really look forward to being able to swim comfortably.
6. The bar. It's only open four days a week and is pretty poorly stocked in terms of beverages. We decided not to even try the breakfast restaurant, so can't comment on that.

We had great hopes for this place, but for us it was a significant disappointment. There are major issues here, important to consider before deciding to stay.

Room Tip: Make sure you get a room above lobby level.

“A nice place to stay, but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012

We just got back from a week at the Tahoe Seasons Resort and I am torn on how to rate it.
There are so many good things,
The Staff.
The Valets are true professionals. I watched them for days during slow and busy times both. Moving cars around in the tight entrance quickly while still being nice and helpful to every customer.
The front desk staff was also great. We arrived early, traveling from the east. They let us check in 2 hours early.
The bell desk helped unload our pile of bags and grocery items, take them to our room and show us around the room and how everything worked.
The Lobby was nice with great areas for sitting and talking.
The Roof, yes the roof. A finished area with tennis courts, shuffle board, gas grills and seating all around.
The Room (2/3 of it). On one side there is a nice living room with sofa sleeper. On the other side the is a nice bed room with a great bed and a wet bar area with a small fridge and microwave.
But, the bad things,
No cell phone service in the building. But, there was on the roof.
The open concept raised bathroom in the center of the room. I may be old fashion, but I want more that a shutter between me and the person watching TV in the front room when I am taking a shower in a tub that is 5 foot by 5 foot.
You will have to make your own decision on if you stay here. But, if they could somehow hook the cell service to the wi-fi, that would help.

“Great for skiers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

My husband and I stayed 7 days at Tahoe Seasons. When we arrived, we were surprised to see the valet. We loved that it was in a beautiful wooded area. Valet is a great touch if you have the choose to use it, there is no other option at Tahoe seasons. From the first time having to use this service I felt rushed, not that the valet staff made me feel this way but I like to unpack my vehicle with time. Other people were arriving and departing at the same time.It just felt like I was in the way. Once entering, the front desk acknowledge us right way that was nice. When arriving to our room we were happy to see a large hot tub in the middle of the room.
I did look around for a shower however there is only a long neck shower head attached on the wall inside the hot tub, not good! I found that the kitchen was a kitchenette with a small microwave, fridge and sink again, not good. I was given some reading material upon check in. I found that we would be able to use the bbq up on the roof, the tine kitchenette was not so bad. By our third night I was incredibly irritated with the air conditioner constantly turning off. It is monitored by some kind of sensor. The bed was good but on the third day I was in so much back pain, it was hard to go out and be active. I had to pull the sofa bed out it was not as soft and seemed to help a bit. I was very pleased with the bbq and a shuffle board game they had available. This is a great place in winter, for folks that enjoy skiing, no more then 5 to 6 hours of sleep and going out to eat. Needless to say won't be staying there for more then 2 day!

Room Tip: 6th floor has a patio.
