Everything was broken, from the knob of the oven melt off to have a heater with no thermostat control. The bathroom was ice cold and our towels were frozen by the 30 degree air leaking through the bathroom single pain window. It’s ranks as far worst of the worst maintained hotel. If you seen the bates motel or think of Motel 5, this would be the category. The management is ignoring the issues when reported. There was a dangerous ice sheet in the parking lot. Honestly, city of Tahoe should close down this place due to number of hazards it poses to its guest.

The room was good for the value. Good location, walking distance to the heavenly village, and gondola. The rooms have been renovated, I stayed here few years ago and room were horrible. Much better now, but still need room for improvement. The shower knobs were not working correctly. But the rest of the room was good. Clean. They got rid of the horrible carpet. Now it is laminate, much better. Overall is good.

This is in a convenient location. It is close to Stateline attractions, but far enough off the main road to be quiet. Staff was friendly. And they allow pets for an additional fee. My only complaint was that the room smelled strongly of cleaning product & there was a large area on the floor where the product hasn't been fully removed. It was very slick & we almost fell before we could clean it up.

An okay room but very close to caesar’s and the strip. They had their lobby doors locked until 4pm and their phone number is an offsite number. Not exactly reachable unless you’ve checked in. We checked in and had a dirty room, hair in between each layer of the bed, obvious unmopped floors and a clump of hair on the shower wall. It was fixed within 30 minutes- but very disappointing after a 4 hour commute to Tahoe.
