Older hotel but well maintained. Our room was very comfortable. The location is convenient to restaurants and to casinos if you are so inclined. This hotel is a short distance from th ed Nevada state line.

“We will be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

Even though this Holiday Inn is an older property everything was 5 stars! The young ladies at the front desk were friendly and accommodating. The location was ideal and walking distance to everything for eating, shopping and playing. There's lots of free parking and the complimentary breakfast is the normal Holiday Inn spread. Their water tastes second best after ours back home, thus no need to go out and buy bottled water there for drinking. We will definitely be back!

We are very happy that you had a wonderful stay. Thank you for your kind words about our friendly staff. Our city is proud to have such great tasting drinking water and it is definitely a bonus to not have to buy bottled water when staying in South Lake Tahoe. Hope to see you again soon.

“Enjoyable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

Very nice place with welcoming and friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast good. My only complaint was that I thought we just had a few yards to walk to the Lake, but that was private land so we had to walk along the road a fair distance before accessing the lake. It is a shame that so much of the lake access has been bought privately.

Thank you for your review of our hotel. We are happy that you had a good experience while staying with us. The nearest public beach access is less than one mile away. Like you, we wish that there was less private access too. I will make sure to convey your comments about our "welcoming and friendly staff" to my co-workers.

“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012 via mobile

We are fans of holiday inn express and have stayed in them all across the USA this one is quite old and in need of some upgrading, that said the room was clean and well presented, the staff are exceptional, the receptionists were helpful, happy and obliging the breakfast was up to HIE standard, there is no fitness room which we look for, all that aside the inn is well situated close to restaraunts and most of the sights... It represents great value, Would we stay again? Yes, if you do you won't be disappointed, alan and Penny

“Great place to stay in South Lake Tahoe.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

Stayed 2 nights here. Great base for South Lake Tahoe. Compact room but all the facilities and very clean. Free wifi. Just offset from main road but did not notice noise at Night Good pool . Used Laundry - washer and drier, $2 including powder. Just across the road from Raleys supermarket, short walk from ski-lift and shops, and easy walk to Casino at stateline. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Thoroughly recommend staying here.
