“Right on the Lake!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 5, 2012

We really enjoyed our stay at this lodgy hotel. It is historical, but has been remodeled over the years. The room was clean and pleasant. The bathroom was pretty dated with a tiled shower and oak cabinets....just felt average. Our room had a very small deck with 2 chairs facing the lake and the busy restaurant below. In the room there were a couple of wine glasses, a cork screw and a wine list with some very reasonable bottles available right there in the room on a wine rack! A Rombauer Chardonnay for $32.00 I think. Such a deal! The beds were comfortable. They only had a room with 2 queen beds available for a lakeview. There was no air conditioning on a very warm Tahoe day, but we weren't in the room that much.

In the morning the hotel provided an expanded Continental breakfast in a cozy room and the coffee was quite good. There was an egg/quiche type dish with homemade salsa, some pastries, bagels, yogurt, etc... It kept us happy until lunch.

We ate lunch at the hotel restaurant...run by the Dukes of Hawaii chain.....and it was very good actually. Hubby had the Burger and I had the Fish and Chips....Mahi Mahi I think. I could hardly finish mine because the pieces of fish were so generous! This place was absolutely hopping because of the the view and the fun atmosphere. People were boating over from all points on the Lake and getting boat taxied up to the dock of the restaurant....such fun!

In the winter there is a bus to a few ski slopes that stops right out in front of the hotel.

Room Tip: A room farthest away from the lobby will be quieter and not above the restaurant yet still have a La...

“Great View But Feeling Tired”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2012

Got the $290 lake view room for a couple of nights: great view as advertised, and even nicer once patio shuts down at 9:00 and it actually gets quiet!
Room was tired and needs a refresh. Come On Ownership! poorly arranged, only a small glass table & 2 chairs with an outlet 8 feet away. get rid of oversized chest of drawers and work in a small sofa so you can sit and look at lake, desk would be nice, baths need to be updated, wallpaper is old, light fixtures need a change out, ceiling fan is old and wobbles on high, relocate flat screen to corner. Room was clean and lines/comforter were fine. Hot water went out just when I was going to take a shower, but they got it going again in 45 minutes.
Can't speak to the non-lake view rooms layout.

“Favorite spot to eat dinner on Lake Tahoe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2012

I have been going here since i was young. The deck, view and food are wonderful. You can boat or walk in. I go here with all ages and always have a wonderful time and wonderful, perfectly cooked meal. Be sure to make reservations for the deck in the summer. I I love dinner time around 7:30. You can go casual or dressed up.

“Much improved over last visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 17, 2012 via mobile

Patio deck lunch was much better than my last visit... All is forgiven. Gotta try the Fish and Chips... Might want to ask for fries in lieu of the sweet potato fries. I'm just not much of a sweet potato guy

“Great atmosphere, good lunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012 via mobile

I would definitely recommend a stop here for lunch in the summer. It can get quite busy, but worth it to sit outdoors and enjoy the lake. My daughter had the steak salad and I had a fish sandwich & they were both very very good. Lovely place, nice people, good food - what's not to like?

I've also had drinks here in winter and it was cozy and classy.
