Clean and inexpensive

This is a very clean place for the money. However, I booked a king bed with a fridge. When I got there the guy said he only had a queen and there was no fridge. Also, never stay in Room No. 200. It is really noisy and I could not rig the fan to stay on to defuse the noise from the traffic. Could not sleep.

Walk to casinos, great value for quick trip

Gentleman receptionist very friendly and welcoming. Easy walk to casinos or local restaurants. Very affordable considering I booked last minute during holiday weekend. Outside looks deceiving but the room was updated and modern. Bedding could have been washed better because it had some weird stains?! I will be back again especially since they allow pets. :)

Winter vacay

Love this place. I've stayed in a King room and stayed in the 3-bedrm suite. Love everything about this place and the lobby person was great! Only 4 stars because I wish the bedrooms had TVs also. Great price!

Easy walk to Gondola

Certainly NOT a "boutique" hotel, though our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. An older building with rooms that had a mediocre update some years ago. Rooms are small and furnishings are low quality. Small bathroom is OK, but far from upscale. Bring slippers because the "wood" (laminate?) floors were cold. In our room the wall heater worked intermittently. We had to periodically bang on the thermostat to get the heater to fire up, but once up to temp, it might or might not come back on as the room cooled. I guess the good is the great location between a couple of cafes, across the street from a shopping center with a Starbucks, a great ski shop, and a supersize grocery store. That and the easy two block walk to the Heavenly gondola which you can do in ski boots. If you just want a bed and a place to shower with zero frills at a cheap price, this will do if you can get a room with a working heater. At the price we paid I know from hard experience you can do much worse. So, for the price, I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Nice for quick trips up the mountain

This is a good choice for a basic place to stay while skiing in Tahoe. Not luxurious in any way. But gets the job done. Bed was comfortable, heater was warm, room was clean... that's all we really need. If you're looking for a place for an extended vacation stay, I'd recommend going else where for more comfort / amenities. But for 1 or 2 night quick stays for skiing or something of the like, this is great.

Charming hotel

What a charming little hotel within 5 minutes' walk of the CA/NV stateline - i.e. where all the South Lake Tahoe action is. The room was beautifully updated with hardwood floors, modern decor and huge flatscreen TV. Also comes with a handy refrigerator. Perfect place to stay if you're on a budget and need a weekend getaway in the heart of S. Lake Tahoe. The staff was attentive and welcoming. Wireless internet connection was lightning fast. We will stay here again.

Night for skier: free parking, clean and warm room

Great hotel. I like the price and location. Looks like rooms have been recently remodeled. It's clean, warm and cheap. I was staying in Marriot before for $150-200 now I stay here for $60 and have free parking that cost $50 in Marriot.
