This property is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. The first room we were put in was not clean, hair in shower, unvacuumed floors, sticky spills on tile, dirty sink. Staff was wonderful and promptly moved us to a new room, which was moderately cleaner, but still not good. Broken blinds, no curtains for light reduction, nothing covering dirty exposed box springs. The walls were splattered and stained and AC unit barely works. Unfortunately I would never stay here again or recommend this property.

It's an old hotel but for the price and the convenience of its location you can't complain. You even get a small breakfast included.

We chose this place for two nights stay as part of our California road trip. The hotel is very conveniently located pretty much in the center of town and very close to chair lift which was great as we skied one day! The hotel was clean and rooms & beds were spacious and comfortable. The hotel room has everything you need - coffee maker, hairdrier etc. although the hotel is probably a little dated now but I could not grumble in terms of location and price and place was clean warm and comfortable so for us and our stay worked really well.

Property was okay, just older than pictures showed. Great location, half a block away from center of town. The staff were amazing! Had to leave early and were great in assisting me with getting refund but was unable to due to Expedia screwing it up. I would go there again because of staff and location. Also they are dog friendly and have treats there for them.

Dirty hotel, there was a car with a broken front windshield made me anxious about leaving ours overnight. Walls had streaks, our AC was leaking brown water. Bed had a stain on it smelled like old furniture. Never staying here again. Would rather pay more to feel safe and secured.

Birthday stay!

Such a beautiful place to stay and conveniently in the most walkable place to the water, casinos, and restaurants. I booked a king size room and was so excited to see we had a patio and even a bunk bed! (Will request this room again when the kiddo comes on our next trip!) Overall amazing and super friendly staff!

Great stay.

We had a great stay at this tucked away inn. A better protein like bacon or pork sausage would make a great addition to the continental breakfast for those,who need protein to balance out all the offerings of carbs. Other than that we gad a wonderful stay! Beds are comfortable along with a variety of pillows.

Decent Motel, Great Location

Overall, you get what you pay for. Low price for a clean place to stay that also includes a basic breakfast (bonus). Location is awesome though, as an easy ski boot walk to the Heavenly gondola with casinos just a short walk further. Staff was friendly and attentive.
