We did not have an enjoyable stay. The smell of the air freshener or carpet cleaner in our room was so strong that it was more like an "air freshener gas chamber" than a hotel room suitable for sleeping. We had the windows open for 4 plus hours when the temperature outside was in the 40s to air out the room, but that did not help. We could not sleep at night and we would not come back.

Staff was pleasant and helpful. That’s where it ends. Our initial room smelled so strongly of bleach it made my eyes water. The helpful front desk guy gave us a different room without additional charge. The carpets were stained, the room has a slight odor but not like the first room. The room had coffee bags like tea bags in the room , coffee for purchase in the lobby, no breakfast. It’s one step above a motel 6 with a high price tag

Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Carpet in the room was VERY dirty and stained. Bed was not comfortable and pillows gave me a stiff neck and shoulders - way too firm & big.

This property is average, nothing special. Front desk is really nice & available. Our room was “ok.” Not sure why hotels have carpet, it’s so unsanitary & when was the last time they were steamed/professionally cleaned. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, could have used a pillow top. I don’t like downs pillows. They offer no support and terrible to pluck geese

Very cute hotel, terrible bed

We liked the vibe and location of this hotel a lot. It was a great renovated cute vibe, walkable to things in Tahoe City, friendly staff, and we liked the coffee shop at the front desk. The main problem was that the bed and pillows were all terrible, it seems like they updated the whole hotel except the beds. As much as we would love to come back, we did not get a great sleep here. Please let us know if you get better mattresses and pillows and we will come back!
