Great location but underwelming room/amentities
Pros:

The location was really awesome and a short walk to the casinos and shopping!

Cons:

The property just felt cheaply put together. Cheap bedding, decor and the room just had an off odor. I’m not sure if maybe the a/c needs to be serviced but it just almost felt muggy at times.

Walkable, for all needs.
Pros:

The amenities were great. The room was clean. The no contact with people worked just fine because they were in contact with me through my phone. All needs were met.

Cons:

I can't think of anything I didn't like.

no good, they should advertise as dog hotel only
Pros:

There was no breakfast

Cons:

This is a dog hotel and dogs are barking early morning and wakes you up, The desk they had in the room and the chair was should be replaced and there is no where to plug in because there is no outlet, When you arrive to the hotel and try to check in but find out they have closed their office and you have to make call outside to another country to learn how to check in or get instruction from them.

Great stay at a great price!
Pros:

What a wonderful stay! The location of this Lodge was perfect. So close to everything and a fraction of the price. There is a delicious coffee shop next door, and a fantastic taco shop next door in the other direction. Grateful they give discount vouchers to access the beach. I'd day best of all is their communication! After I booked, I nearly immediately got a welcome message, and every time I had a question, they provided an immediate response. The staff was exceptionally kind and courteous as well. Very happy with this stay and I'll stay there again.

Cons:

The only downside for me was that the bed was very firm. I know that's great for some but it was a bit too firm for me so I ended up padding the bed some myself. But that won't stop me from booking her again.

Pros:

quaint clean room. proximity to many of Lake Tahoe's entertainment centers. the lake 2 blocks away on one side the casinos and tourist shops 1 block away on the other side.

Cons:

I made an error booking my stay. I had booked for 6/4 our stay in Reno and thought I had booked our stay for Lake Tahoe 6/5 - 6/6 in actuality I had booked 6/4 - 6/5. we arrived 6/5 and 6/6 we were alerted checkout at 11am and found my error. they could not extend our stay as they said they were booked. it was my fault for not paying attention to my confirmation message but I hope that Booking.com will employ an alert when a person books a stay and dates may overlap that a message would tell the consumer that they may be in error with their date requests.
