This hotel is located in the heart of south Lake Tahoe. 3-5 minute walk to Heavenly Village, the lake, and the casinos. Also close to many varied food establishments and shopping. Laundry machines worked perfectly. Office staff were very friendly and efficient. The maid service was very thorough. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay.
