Rooms were clean enough and warm, but eg the jacuzzi was broken and the overall look of the place is quite dated. However, I'd you're on a tight budget, it's an ok choice. More

Although low on the frills, this is a lovely little motel in South Lake Tahoe. Exceptionally clean, and extraordinary service (friendly and helpful!) from the mother and son who run it. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, etc. Everything is definitely a bit dated, but it doesn't smell, everything works (tv, lights, hot tub, etc.), and you can't beat the... More

When we entered the room my boyfriend thought it smelled like cigarettes even though we requested a non smoking room. They sheets were not clean, we weren't sure that they changed before we got there. The carpet was very dirty and stained and I did not want to walk around without my socks. The shower was very small and the... More

Super-clean and comfortable room, especially for the price. Jacuzzi(!) in the room, along with a microwave and fridge. The clerk welcomed us cheerfully, even though we arrived very late (we'd called to let him know). Gave us coupons for a local breakfast spot. I'd return here in a heartbeat. More

I stayed with my wife. The room was clean and comfortable. It had WiFi and a decent TV. The room was well worth it for the price. More

We stayed for a couple nights at the Matterhorn, and we decided to extend our stay another night. Unfortunately they had already booked every room before we could reserve it a 3rd night. So we were forced to look for another location. The mother and son felt really bad that my family and I had to pack up and find... More

Lesson learned; you really do get what you pay for. I found this hotel on Priceline and will never stay here again. My Fiance and I were up looking at wedding venues and wanted to keep our trip low cost. Upon arrival, we learned our standard King room had been given away and instead were placed into a 2 Queen...

The family that owns this motel were kind and understanding to our situation. We received very fair and affordable nightly rates. Our room was spacious and clean. Our kitchen had everything we needed with cabinet space, gas stove, and fridge. The water pressure and temp of the shower was great. The beds were large enough for our family of four... More

It is a family owned and run business. Both mother and son was very friendly, welcoming and humble; they went out of their way to help us and make our stay as comfortable as possible. There were four of us including 2 children in our party so I had to call the front desk numerous times for additional towels, soap... More

Arrived late and checked in without any problems. The room was a good size with a small microwave, mini refrigerator (which was not plugged in), 2 chairs, a dresser, vanity area, a small TV (remote control did not work), and a heater. It took a while to heat up the room though. The bathroom did not have a bathtub and... More
