Pros:

Location is excellent and the driving factor to our stay. The front desk gal was exceptional, gave recommendations on what to do as well. Cleanliness seems to be an issue however. The bathroom needed some help. The shower collected about 2 inches of water, therefore the drain needs attention. Also the exhaust fan had approximately 2-3 years worth of dust caked to it. Otherwise, bed and pillows were comfortable.

Pros:

The location was great! Walking distance to everything. The hotel was quiet, clean & safe the staff was nice & the heater worked perfectly. The only thing was that the beds & pillows are very hard and not comfortable at all. Also the shower was backed up and took a while to drain. I would recommend to ask for extra blankets because they are pretty thin and it was a little cold at night. We stayed 3 nights and would definitely stay here again next time!

Pros:

This hotel is in the middle of it all. The rooms are very clean and the staff was accommodating. The AC is kind of noisy, but I like white noise. Just thought I’d mention it in case you’re a light sleeper.

Pros:

Very nice little motel - close to the casinos, lake, and restaurants. We always stay here when in Tahoe. Price is very reasonable, but rooms are smaller than most other properties. Big enough for us, though.
