Pros:

I liked the location

Cons:

I didn't like that the room was dirty and covered with dead ants. No housekeeping around to empty put trash or service the room I was in for 4 nights and 5 days.

not worth it if you want refund and bathrooms is also horrible so small and water is in shower always going hot to cold
Pros:

quiet that’s it

Cons:

very very unprofessional asked for a refund since i didn’t stay extra night and wasn’t willing to give me money back lied to booking.con and told them i stayed whole week when i went up there and told them on Thursday was going to stay 5 days instead of 6 then they try to provide me with company email instead of phone number to get refund another red flag was them telling me i wouldn’t get refund since who ever in charge of company went to vacation so would take them a while to get money back

Great value for Tahoe!
Pros:

Spacious bedroom, with a couple of options for pillows. This was great because we could accommodate my preference (firmer pillow) and my husband’s (softer pillow)

Cons:

It is a bit dated, but nothing that impacted our stay.
