Great location close to Stateline and all the activities. Shopping and dining options close by, as well as within walking distance of a nice beach at the lake. For the price, this has to be the best deal in Tahoe.

They charged us $10 in cash for room service which they did not do. And they did not refund the $10. The office smelled. The room was not very clean. The entire room was outdated. Some of the steps on the stairs were slanted and we almost fell.
