Nice family hotel

We like the hotel. We'v brought a little bird and they didn't charge us for it as they do for any other pet. We'd recommend to stay there. The location is perfect. Walking distance from everywhere you need and still very quite. We'd stay there again.

Perfect location, access to great beach

I had no idea what South Lake Tahoe was like when I made the reservation, but this motel is ideally located. It is right between the Heavenly Resort and Gondola, and a beautiful private beach. Free parking, free wi-fi, a basic continental breakfast. Close to shopping, restaurants of all types, and casinos. Staff were friendly, room was clean, we were totally satisfied with our stay there.

Location...redeeming quality

Overpriced for the quality...excepting the location. I honestly think you can get sick from staying inside the room for more than 2 nights. I always try to give the "benefit of the doubt", just in case reviews are made due to just plain dissatisfaction. I am being objective, I gave it 2 stars bec. people need their jobs, a place to stay and the location. It was a very "humbling" experience... bec. of poor planning...I owe my family big time.

GREAT location, clean and friendly staff

Stayed here over Labor day weekend. The location is super prime and so freaking close to all the Casinos and the Lake. We literally walked everywhere and it was not bad at all. It was about 2 blocks to the main strip and about a 5 min walk down to the Lake. I would totally recommend this place and stay here again. The beds could have been more comfortable for sure, but everything else made up for it.

Last Hoorah!

The hotel was overall very good. The room was clean. The hotel was not too far away from the casinos and the lake so we had a blast. There's a cheap little taqueria across the street that had delicious tacos! My only complaint would be that the continental breakfast was a little short on the variety of food.
