It’s OK. Expedia rated this property at 9.0. This property is no where close to a 9.0. I am guessing the reviews are way inflated and this is discerning. I am ok with the place, but I selected this place at 1/2 the price of the grand reserve Marriott property across the street and it is not worth half the price. Maybe 1/3 the price or 1:4 the price. Just saying. I gave it a shot, but will stay across the street next time.

We stayed on the back side of the hotel and it was nice and quiet. The room had a bit of a funky smell (maybe because the hotel is older), but the decorations were unique and it was clean. We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and bar/restaurant attached. I wish we had time to use the fire pit and the free s’mores package. The free breakfast is really just snacks and coffee, but it was appreciated. The complimentary drink upon check was a nice touch and a great way to end a long drive. We’ll be back at Station House!

Cute property

The staff there is excellent. They were all nice and helpful and we appreciated the free drink and cocoa/tea bar at night after the concert we attended. The property is nice and we liked the lounge area. The room was clean, but I will say the shower needed attention with cleaning and there was a definite musty smell to the whole room. That and the fact that the AC kept blowing the blackout curtains apart were the only reason why I knocked a star off.

Don’t use EXPEDIA …. They charged DOUBLE the going rate!!!!!!!!!! I put in reservations early … shortened the reservation by one night. I checked in and out with two other people I knew…. They checked in and out at exactly the same time as me…..I WAS CHARGED DOUBLE THEIR PRICING!!!!!!!!!! EXPEDIA COMPLETELY TOOK ADVANTAGE!! It SHOULDNT be legal?!!! Then there was the Station House itself. The front desk was rustic and charming BUT that’s where it ends…as you walk into the room, the smell of chemicals was overwhelming!! The front desk could see I knew the people checking in right after me and that I was paying double their stay…. They stayed the exact nights… I asked for a correction and they answered that Expedia was responsible for my billing….they got to capture $300 + as the middle man…AGAIN …. THIS SHOULDNT BE LEGAL?!!! The room was pitch black …. One of the others that checked in requested extra lighting to be able to see in the bathroom area!! They didn’t have irons … the staff ( whom was the only lovely part) did finally come up with a steamer…. That I was asked to immediately return ! Fortunately,was in Tahoe to attend an event up the street…. I can’t imagine spending one more moment in that room than I absolutely had to!! The chemical smell of the room was overwhelming and it felt as though you were in a cave or dungeon… the picture of the room had to have professional lighting for the brightness! Hopefully,this will serve as your warning DONT use EXPEDIA or Station

We loved the location and felt very safe there. Toulouse the on site restaurant was delicious and very convenient. The beds however were waaayyy too soft and our shower leaked around the opening with no way to make it better. Other than that, we do plan to return next year with our party of 10 (5 rooms), even though there seems to be no way to reserve the roooms for that far in advance. That is a disappointment as well.

Very disappointed!

Family members were visiting from out of town which included 2 children, a 7 year old and a 5 year old. It was important to the kids that we stay at a hotel with a pool so I chose this hotel mainly for that reason. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for the entire duration of our stay. Upon check out, I mentioned our disappointment and the staff member offered us a 15% discount on the rooms to compensate us for not having the pool available. She said that she would give us a 15% discount on the rooms and credit our credit cards. Over the next few days, I looked out for the credit but it never came through. I called the hotel a few days after we checked out and mentioned that we had not received the refund yet and the staff member said that the manager would call us back. We never received a call back so I tried calling again and again and kept on getting the same answer, that the manager would call back. I called at least 5 times and no one ever returned my call nor did we ever receive a credit. This hotel is dishonest and a shady operation because multiple employees lied to us. I can understand that the pool may have issues and may not be available under unforeseen circumstances. What I cannot tolerate, is dishonesty and being lied to. Needless to say, we will not be staying here again.
