Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
An okay room but very close to caesar’s and the strip. They had their lobby doors locked until 4pm and their phone number is an offsite number. Not exactly reachable unless you’ve checked in. We checked in and had a dirty room, hair in between each layer of the bed, obvious unmopped floors and a clump of hair on the shower wall. It was fixed within 30 minutes- but very disappointing after a 4 hour commute to Tahoe.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but was disappointed. Outdated and somewhat rundown place. Pros: easy and free parking, within short walking distance of Gondola, bed was somewhat comfortable. Cons: outdated, only had one extra power outlet on one side of the bed (every other power outlet in the room had a light or something other plugged into it and no free outlet on/near the other side of the bed), the heater made an obnoxious tapping/clicking sound for 5+ minutes when turning on and off, the linoleum floor in the bathroom is scuffed/stained and looks gross, the shower is stained and looks gross, the water takes forever to get hot (more like lukewarm) even with the cold water turned completely off, the wooden structure of the hotel (stairs and balcony walkway) allows you to hear every single footstep made by others walking by and up/down the stairs (which was very irritating, as my room was at the top of the stairs), the glass top on the nightstand on one side of the bed had a sticky/slimy film on it, one small single cup coffee maker with 2 cheap coffee pods , mini fridge wasn’t even cold with it turned all the way on cold. I wouldn’t stay here again.
Only outlet in the room for phone/electronics.

I’ve stayed there many times. With new owners they’ve done away with the breakfast which was a bummer. The room we stayed in was fine. Walls are paper thin and I could hear the conversations of the folks next door. For the price and time of year it was ok.

I didn’t even get to see the room, my family and I were stuck in traffic for HOURS, our check in time was at 4pm, we got to the hotel at 5:45pm or so to be told our room wasn’t even ready, they said to come back in an hour, we were starving so we went to eat and came back to the hotel over an hour later to be told once again that our room wasn’t ready, thats when i requested a refund, sadly there was another costumer being told the same thing about his room.

Easy late checkin! The staff called us and provided straightforward instructions. The room was basic but totally good for a night sleep. The walls are a little thin so you may have trouble sleeping in when the town wakes up and everyone is starting to get ready for the mountain.
