Super location

A good hotel in a great location. The hotel itself is not something to write home about - the pool is in the middle of the parking lot, the windows open to a hallway instead of the outside air, and the rooms are on the small side, but you can't beat the location across the street from the Tahoe City lakefront public park and within a short walking distance of numerous restaurants and shops.

Park your car. You won't need it to shop, rent boats, swim in the lake, or take a walk alomng the lakeshore.

OK

the location of this hotel is what saves if, right across from beautiful lake Tahoe. Waliking distance from various shops, restaurants etc. Bit aged, although clean and for the most part comfortable. Had my stay been longer I think it would have gotten to me more.

Simple and to the point

Nice motel, standard room. Had free wifi and a small "breakfast". We did book 3 adults (went up snowboarding) and got a room with one king bed. The staff was nice enough to give us 2 rollaway beds, no extra charge.

Great in town ski location

Right in the middle of Tahoe City. Walk to everything, ski shops,resturants,the lake and then only 5 miles to Squaw valley and Alpine Meadows. We got 10 feet of snow in 3 days. The best skiing in the world. They cleaned up all that snow each day as if it was only an inch. Rooms were clean and well appointed

Very Good

Room was very clean and large enough with King size bed. Included a simple continental breakfast. Staff was friendly and efficient. Room cleans did excellent job. My room faced off road and was very quite.

Pretty good place

A nice no frills place right on the lake. I was a little disapointed in the breakfast (really not much there) but the service was good and the staff were nice. For a business trip this is a good place to stay. I don't think I'd take my wife there. I'd look for something a bit nicer. They gave two nearby resturaunts coupons and I fell in love with the one next door. Blue Aguave. The other one didn't impress me with their food up the street a ways. Overall a nice average no frills place. Clean and quiet. Oh, and the pool was out of service. Full of algae. But this is winter so no one would use it anyway.

Across the street from the lake and lots of walking paths to use. Very pretty and will kept. Awesome views from that shore.
