First impressions was extreme disappointment-checked in and straight back out. The photos on all the booking sites do not show true representation of room 7. It is behind boarding and chain fence next to an abandoned pool. Dustbin outside room. No natural light only lighting in main room was bedside lights. Furniture shabby. Walked in, sat on bed and booked somewhere else ! Don’t believe photos - no idea how it can have a 4.3 rating.

Terrible experience!! 1. Carpet is dirty, damp, and sticky. 2. TV /cable doesn’t work. We don’t really use it but this show how mismanaged this place is. 3. Cold water in the faucet doesn’t work. 4. Bathroom is dirty and wall is moldy and paint falling off from the wall....

Terrible experience!! 1. Carpet is dirty, damp, and sticky. 2. TV /cable doesn’t work. We don’t really use it but this show how mismanaged this place is. 3. Cold water in the faucet doesn’t work. 4. Bathroom is dirty and wall is moldy and paint falling off from the wall. 5. Paper thin walls. We couldn’t sleep at all, we can hear people talking from other rooms, next to us, above us. All over. When we’re trying to sleep, the room next to us taking a shower and the water from the pipe was so loud that it shook the wall. 6. At 200+ a night. Stay AWAY! Find better value somewhere else.

The room was very dirty. There was an old pizza slice in the fridge from the previous guests. The fridge was on display and the water from the fridge was in the room. The furniture is very outdated and has a lot of wear and tear. I had to damp wipe the tables first. The outdoor pool is not usable. The whole hotel needs urgent renovation. There are no contact persons on site. I can't explain the previous positive reviews. The photos of the host of the rooms do not correspond to the actual condition. I have traveled across the country for over 4 weeks and have never experienced such a horrible stay anywhere.

I hate leaving reviews like this, but some honesty is needed here. I felt duped by the photos provided online vs. what we saw/experienced in real life. - No A/C. When we arrived the temperature in our room was 79 and continued to climb up to 83. While there was a box fan and ceiling fan, unfortunately the position of the window and an outlet made it so that we could not put the box fan in the window to draw out the hot air. The ceiling fan was also switched to the "winter time" position, meaning that it was further dispersing the hot air. After flipping the switch, we could feel the breeze, unfortunately it wasn't a very strong one. The temperature in the room never got below 75 and for Tahoe during the summer, this is too uncomfortable. - The shower pressure is very inconsistent. It would randomly sputter and slowly diminish so that we would be standing nearly at the wall by the end of our quick 5-7 min showers. - The lighting was very dim throughout the room. Our bedside table lamps did not turn on. Our ceiling fan had one working lightbulb and the lighting above the sink was so dim that it made getting ready difficult. - The coffee machine showed viable signs of not being cleaned and only decaf coffee was provided in our room. Also the pictures show a pool and hot tub, but it was drained while we were there and by the looks of the weeds, the pool hasn't been open for years. With all these letdowns, I also can't help but complain about the price. For the 2 night stay it was $430. It's almost insulting. This place seems like it's under new management and they still have some work to do. The owner reaches out and is easy to get ahold of (just make sure you have signal) and you can't beat the location. I wish this place the best of luck but some modernizing is needed before we return.

My husband and I came to Lake Tahoe for New Year’s Eve and we made a mistake on the days we were staying at the hotel, we reserved 3 nights instead of 2 (each night was over 300 dlls because of the holidays) I went to the front desk this morning to tell them about the mistake and they said that they couldn’t do anything, no refund and no credit for future visits, so we just lost over 300 dlls. I totally understand that they said no to a refund but also no for hotel credit? I think that’s super unkind due to the room prices and all the COVID situation, we come very often to Lake Tahoe to ski and for sure we are never going to stay in this hotel again, sorry but you lose two very good customers. Don’t stay here, there are many good hotels around here with better customer service.

We had to do a late check in so we didn't have any interaction. Our room was on the second floor and was decorated with what seemed to be a french theme. The little extras is what I appreciate. I appreciate the coffee, the grounds, the areas to hang out. The pool and Jacuzzi. I appreciate the wine opener. Everything was very clean. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Something the hotel could improve on is the lack of hot water in the shower. The end of my shower left me on edge instead of relaxed. And their electrical sockets could be updates as it wouldn't hold anything we plugged into it( most for charging phone.)

This was a perfect spot for my husband and I for a quick trip to Lake Tahoe for skiing. The location is great and very close to Heavenly ski resort. The rooms are cozy and well updated. The only reason for the four star rating, is that the noise from the surrounding rooms and street can be easily heard.

Nice place and very clean. Close to everything. We walked everywhere. Never drove our car once we got there. We have stayed here 3 times now. Recommend this Inn. Very reasonable priced as well. **********
