Give it a try. Not your commercial big chain hotel!
Pros:

Quaint, small, upscale remodel of an older property. Cold ac in the room with nice linens. Small fridge, with real glasses for wine or cocktail and nice coffee cups. Perfect weekend get away.

Cons:

The pour over coffee in our room was weak, more like tea - we drink the strong stuff.

Would stay again! Please update mattresses!
Pros:

The rooms are clean and updated. The manager went above and beyond to accommodate us. They offer private beach access passes with your room.

Cons:

The mattresses are tragically worn out. Both sides are sunken in and you can feel the springs. Very disappointing for how much you pay for the room.
The pastries were days old. Not fresh.

Pros:

Very clean, modern, and beautifully designed hotel.
Friendly and helpful staff, especially Omar and Aida in the lobby, who made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.
Quiet and peaceful atmosphere with pleasant surroundings.
Great location close to Lake Tahoe.
Comfortable rooms and an overall very comfortable stay.
The hotel is not inexpensive, but for a few nights it is definitely worth paying a little extra for the quality and experience offered.

Cons:

The only downside is the lack of a proper breakfast. Complimentary coffee is available in the morning, and sandwiches can be purchased, but for a hotel of this standard we would have expected a more complete breakfast option.
