Enjoy a free hot breakfast, swimming pool, hot tub and sauna
Top-notch ski resorts and boating are within a short drive of the South Lake Tahoe Holiday Inn Express, making it a perfect spot to begin a mountain adventure any time of year. The hotel is just a quarter mile away from Heavenly Mountain Resort. During warmer months, lounge on the beach at Zephyr Cove, and have fun para-sailing or swimming in the crystal-clear water of Lake Tahoe. Gamblers will want to head straight for Stateline, the home of Nevada casinos such as Harrah's and Harvey's, just a half-mile away.

clean and friendly
Spent two days snowboarding. Comfortable room with large bathroom and large bed. Does not have a ski room so you have to take your gear into your room which I thought was odd.

Great Find
Everything about this hotel is good... if not great. As a business traveler I am used to luxury so was not expecting good things from this experience. I was wrong. We went with another family with 2 small children and we got the "penthouse" of the facility (rooms 421 & 422). It was perfect. 1 room with king bed and the other with 2 queens. Location to gondola at Heavenly couldn't be better. Free breakfast was all that you can ask for to get ready for the slopes. The staff was so nice (everyone at Heavenly has gotten customer service training!). The rooms clean, well appointed and roomy. No complaints and while it's not the Ritz, it's certainly a very fine way to spend a weekend with children when you are mostly on the slopes. Great location! Nothing to complain about except that there were no chocolates on the pillows:)

Friendly experience, good location
My adult son and I were in Tahoe for some skiing, arriving late on a Thursday. We were greeted by a friendly staff person near midnite. Chose this hotel because it was seemingly the only one which allowed the choice of bed size; others said king or two queens. We wanted separate beds. It was a good choice! Staff was friendly; parking convenient. Centrally located, stores, restaurants, coffee shops are nearby. Hotel well located for skiing at Heavenly Valley as you can walk to the gondola. The breakfast was far more than expected and included pancakes, french toast, eggs, sausage/bacon, doughnuts, cereal, bagel, coffee, hot chocolate, juice. Why not five stars? Because plumbing woke me up in the morning from the occupants in the adjoining rooms getting an early start. If it weren't for that! Although my son slept through it, I didn't. Would this keep me from a future visit? No, just might bring ear plugs next time.

Holiday Inn Express SLT
Great place to stay. Clean, Easily Accessible, Close to shopping and snowplay areas. Only downside was the parking and slow internet speed. Either not enough parking or areas was covered in snow, blocking parking area. Recommend assigned parking especially when it gets crowded and people are parking 3 or 4 vehicles for 1 room. No comment on the Internet Speed.

Short walk from hotel
Little pub called Mc Ps, it was a short walk and really tiny inside but the employees there were all amazingly personable and made for a great time. Plus the fact that the drinks were made strong and set at a very reasonable price only made it that much more fun.

Great place to stay
We enjoyed the pleasant and clean rooms. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful in suggesting places to eat and giving us road conditions. Our son was getting married and it was great to be able to get together with family for breakfast each morning! They also changed rooms so our son and his beautiful wife would not be next door to us!!! Thank you for a great weekend.
