“Very solid motel, good deal, would stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

At $89/night in ski season, eight minute walk to Heavenly gondola, a good alternative to pricier options.
Pluses:
- Quiet but still with easy access to slopes, stores and restaurants
- very friendly staff
- Clean
- bed was perfect in level of softness and firmness
Minuses:
- room was icy upon entry and only source of heat, an iron stove heater, took over an hour to bring the room to room temperature.
- water in shower never got warm enough to take a shower, even after running eight minutes
- breakfast was very simple...a little more of a splurge by the owners could markedly improve this (eg more varied fruit, fresh baked muffins, orange juice, yogurt could all be added to bring this up to the level of most hotels

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are glad you were able to enjoy the comfortable beds and great location. Generally we turn on the heat for our guests prior to arrival so that the room is warm and inviting; we sincerely apologize for neglecting to do that for you. Just fyi, we are currently preparing to add a breakfast room in the new year, with more extensive breakfast selections.

We really do appreciate your input and suggestions and look forward to seeing you again. Happy Holidays!

“Great place and hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

We stayed at the Alpenrose Inn in Octobet for one night and was very pleased. The room was clean and spacious and the very friendly hospitality made this a great place to stay. We arrived in the middles of the seasons first snow storm but still made it to the beach to view the beautiful Lake Tahoe which is a 5 minute walk from the Alpenrose.

“Very close to heavenly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Our stay at Alpenrose was wonderful. We stayed there one week before the start of the ski season, were provided with an upgraded room simply because it was available. How nice is that? Breakfast was muffins with cereals, home made cereal bars, fruits, danish with coffee and tea. Went on the gondola on heavenly, it was walking distance and less than a minute by car. Great location. Not far from the Tahoe queen cruises too, less than a five min drive. Will return to stay here, if visiting Tahoe again.

“A definite return stay !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

We immediately knew it would be a wonderful stay when we were greeted by the owner Hanna. She was so friendly and accommodating, she even offered to bring us a tea pot of hot water for some hot chocolate. When we opened up the door to our room my wife was elated at the size and the cleanliness of the room. She couldn't stop talking about our stay the rest of our vacation. We have plans in the summer to return with a few of our friends and will stay at this wonderful hotel, Thanks Hanna !

“Truly a Wonderful Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I can't remember the last time I unlocked the door to a room and immediately had a smile from ear to ear. The room looked brand new and it felt like we were the first people to ever stay there. Honestly, if this place was remodeled they must have gutted it down to the wall studs. Add the helpful staff with great recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit and this place is truly a winner.
