The location is nice (20 min from Squaw ) and it is right next to the lake, but there is no breakfast and the rooms are not too clean. Not the best deal for quite a high price! Unfortunately to us, the toilet was broken, so we could not use the bathroom. When I tried to get at least partial... More

We stayed in this hotel last weekend, staff friendly and great location but rooms need a big update, carpets very dirty and smelly, towels not sure if there were washed, this is budget place for the area its in it, but next time i'm planning to pay rather more and be in a clean place.

We liked how we felt welcome, they showed us the room and considering that it was a fairly cheap offer, it was very good, clean ok equipped. We have carelessly left our passports in a drawer, we noticed that a couple of days later, but didn't know where. Several Hotels were possible. We called them all but most could not... More

This place used to be nice, a little dated and funky but nice for the money and amenties. It recently sold this summer of 2011 and it has went to utter crap. We moved our vacation time to book our favorite room 24 and was assured we could have it but upon arrival they put us some where else. What... More

We booked this reservation thinking it would be a modest but clean accomodation -- especially since it had a two star rating. Wrong! Instead we pulled up to a building with old, gray colored wood siding that reminded us of a prison. Inside our room on the warm day that we arrived, there was no air conditioning. When we opened...

We made a reservation at the last minute for a short family vacation. We checked in and after seeing the condition of the motel and room, were in tears at the idea of having to stay here. The room was stained, smelly, dark, had a tiny table pressed up to the wall, and just icky overall. The motel is in... More

After reading reviews on TA we decided to stay in Lake of the Sky Motor Inn. Had quite a lot of trouble making reservations, but we succeeded to do. Due to the 'winter' with snow and temperatures of just 30 degrees fahrenheit we had to use the heating of the room, which made it quite smelly. The room itself is... More

Since we were coming in from out of town we were going to be ariving after the office closed....at 9pm. What sort of place closes at 9pm on a weekend. The person who took my "reservation" said that the keys... More

Lake of the Sky is an amazingly good value. Hostess Stacey offers a breakfast of oatmeal, bagels and cream cheese, pastries, as well as coffee, hot chocolate and orange juice. She also let us have a discount for weekly stays. Hotel handyman Augie carried in luggage and shoveled us out quickly after a blizzard. I just made reservations to come... More
