This was our first stay at the River Ranch, and we had a very nice experience. I can't tell you how great it was to relax in our room, then walk downstairs to the resteraunt. We sat at one of the seats located right on the river, and enjoyed a fantastic meal. My husband had the filet mignon, and I ordered the salmon. Superb! The atmosphere was very warm and friendly, and the staff was attentive. The continental breakfast was wonderful as well.

The rooms are a lodge decor, done very tastefully.We had a great night sleep, on a very comfy bed too! From our room (and I would venture to say most), we could watch the river. Not to mention hear its soothing sound. I can't forget to mention the bike/walking path that runs along the river right next to the lodge property. You have to go out and enjoy what it has to offer!

We would recommend the River Ranch to everyone!

I love to stay at the River Ranch Lodge. We make it up to Tahoe every couple of months and always stay there. Some rooms are small and noisier than others, but if you talk to the person when making the reservation, you can try to get a quieter or larger room. The place is not new, but the decor is very "lodge". The beds are very comfortable.

The free continental breakfast is fantastic. The restaurant is one of the best in Tahoe City. It is nice to just wander back to your room after dinner and a couple glasses of wine.

Location is great also. I can't find much to complain about. I have always had a great time there.

I have loved River Ranch for many years, both as a local and visitor. So it is a disappointment to say I would never stay there again.

When I made the reservation, the front desk failed to inform me that they were putting us in the handicap accessible room, which is located on the corner (very little privacy), under the stairs (noisy) and on the first floor. The room is very awkward space and uncomfortable (don't get me wrong I'm happy they have an ADA option for such a small Inn).

The first morning someone let their kids run loose on the stairs at 6:30am and we heard every single pounding step. When I asked the front desk to move us, they refused. They girl at the front desk even said there were vacancies but still refused, saying she couldn't change our room. They did not offer to discount the room even though they failed to advise us we were in the ADA room. I think they treated the situation very poorly.

I was so frustrated with the customer service of the lodge and disappointed in the room, I will never stay there again.

The deck & restaurant were fun, accomadating and provided good customer service the whole stay.

We were disappointed by our stay. The bathrooms smelled of mildew and fecal bacteria. The shower curtain was moldy.

Our room rate for two queen beds was $130, but we had to pay an additional $10 for each of our children. This was not a good value, considering that there are many other places where children can stay free.

We chose the hotel because of the location. It was very close to Alpine Meadows, where we were skiing. It was a very convenient location relative to the ski area. We would recommend this hotel to travelers who want to be close to the ski area, who don't mind about bathroom cleanliness, and don't mind paying a little extra for average housing.
