Decent hotel with cute, updated rooms. Easy walk to the outdoor concert, restaurants and shopping. The breakfast consisted of coffee and oatmeal packets. The pool was out of service due to “the season” (front desk gal was all business, so I did not ask if that meant the pool is available during the winter months and patrons use the lake during the summer months (?)). Beach pass was $15, vs the usual $30 - free if you’re there before 9am. I would stay here again, knowing it’s just a clean place to sleep and shower.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here. The first 2 times we absolutely loved it, this third time was a struggle. Apparently they’re going thru ownership change and the service definitely showed. We were given the wrong room and walked in on other guest (oops). We then had to wait 20 min for one room to be done. The kids wanted to go swimming and there were no pool towels. It didn’t feel like a boutique hotel experience, it felt like they were short staffed and the staff that was there was doing their best to keep up. We won’t be staying here again.

Frequent Tahoe Traveler

This website and the hotel website indicates you have free beach access. Which one of the reasons for choosing this hotel. It is a false advertisement. My family and I paid $95 to go to the beach with the "hotel vouchers". The beds are comfortable and the pool is nice. If your looking for beach accees it is NOT free!

This is a boutique motel. The rooms are cute and fit the area. Carpet is stained, but they allow dogs and there is a lot of snow and ice in winter. There were a few holes in bed blankets. Staff is very friendly. The photos on their website are definitely altered to add color and freshness. The room doors need painting, pool area needs new coat of paint. Again, staff is very nice and helpful, location is lovely and walkable to food and shops and beach. If you need a nice, safe place to stay with a pet or kids, it’s fine. Decor is fun, beds comfortable, and it seemed safe.

Charming hotel that feels like a lodge. Wonderful pool, spa, and happy hour. The hotel offered amenities including free popcorn, coffee/tea station, s’mores kits and a light breakfast bar. The hotel is within walking distance of the Heavenly shops and restaurants. We’re looking forward to staying here again in the future!

The hotel is in a nice location between the $30 beach and stores/restaurants. However, the rooms are outdated, we had ants in the bathroom, only 1 towel (for 4 of us), and the staff are all unfriendly (except for the one guy with glasses who checked us in). The resort fee of $25 doesn’t make sense, the breakfast was lame (nothing healthy and no fruits) and no refills on most things when others overeat. Wouldn’t stay here again.
