Nice budget room in South Lake

This was probably the nicest "cheap" hotel we've stayed in for a winter ski weekend in South Lake Tahoe. Comfortable king bed, renovated bathroom, spacious and clean... Our particular room even had lake views! My only complaint was the annoying automatic bathroom light that blinded us during nighttime pee breaks and could not be manually turned off.

The pictures don't show what the rooms really look like. They are much more run down. There was a small burn hole on one blanket. I believe they intentionally put old, unworking batteries in the tv remote and non working bulb in the lamp, so then if you don't ask for them to fix, you save them electricity. The batteries in the remote looked like they had been chewed on by an animal and the guy at the front desk knew immediately it was the batteries that needed to he changed out when I called about TV not working, no way were those even close to batteries that weren't years old.

Good Stay, Good Deal.

Nice, clean, comfortable and well appointed room. Convenient location too. I just needed to stay for one night on a mid-week skiing trip and was gladly surprised by the good deal I got on this Elevation hotel room and the booking through Hotels.com. I even had a good morning peek at the lake before heading out to the slopes. I will certainly try to stay there again and longer next time I'm in S. LakeTahoe.
