Spa Resorts in Gardner Mountain, South Lake Tahoe

"Great location. This place is great for staying near Heavenly. Basicaly, walk across the street. Staff was great. Valet was great. Room was nice and clean. Would stay there again."

"Room was not properly cleaned before check in "

"Arrived to find there was no self parking available on site or nearby, only valet for $40 per night. This was not communicated in any of the pre-arrival messages or booking confirmation or we would have packed and prepared differently. Then, when retrieving our vehicle at the end of our stay, the valet attendant brought my car out, parked it, then walked right past me waiting out front and disappeared. I had to go back to the valet desk a second time to find out where he'd gone with my car keys. Not exactly 5-star service, nor representative of a $40 per day value. But the extra fees did not end at the valet stand. Of course, there is the $50 per day resort fee (plus tax), and a $50 to $75 (depending on who you ask) per day fee to bring your pet to this pet-friendly resort, and $25 per person to access the continental breakfast buffet. Each of these, on their own, may be reasonable, but when the daily fees amount to double the room rate, things have surely gotten out of hand. Having stayed at many of the adjacent properties, I have never experienced this level of compulsory add-on charges, and would expect the service standards to be similarly elevated, but unfortunately this fell far short of my expectations."
