This property was advertised as in/out ski property with lift taking you right from the property. When we visited (weekend of 2/8/25), that lift was broken and property said that shuttle will take ppl to and from ski area. That experience was awful as they only had 1 small shuttle running and it was a challenge to get from Heavinly resort back to the hotel (we had to wait almost an hour on Sunday to get onto the shuttle as it was literally a fight who can get a space faster). It was really bad…. I wrote to front desk of the property (Will, front desk supervisor) to ask for them to take out the resort fee or do something for us and they said that they could do nothing and shuttle is complimentary (which it would normally be complimentary except that they had their equipment broken - very different situation). I wouldn’t recommend a property like this especially if they don’t provide service and don’t try to ensure customers are satisfied and get what they pay for.

  • A well-packed carry-on bag is the key to a comfortable flight experience. Given this journey to Tahoe City is no quick hop, take a few snacks and things to keep you busy. A good book or magazine is sure to help you pass the time.

  • Be flexible. By being open to other travel dates, you'll have a better chance of picking up a great deal on first or business-class airfares.
  • Search for a low-cost airline that has business-class seats. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of Champagne — but at a more affordable price.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a flight rewards program.
