We stayed here for one night in May. Overall, it's a decent motel. The price was very good, the rooms were a good size. The motel is old and that does show in the rooms. The beds weren't the most comfortable I've slept on. Service was good, and they offer fruit and pastries in the morning. The location is amazing... More

We drove to Lake Tahoe to ski, thus needed a room where we would not be spending much time. We arrived late at night and booked a room at Americas Best Value Inn, not sure how long we were going to stay. We got snowed in for three nights! We could get to the ski resports (Squay,Homewood) but not out... More

Clean room and bathroom, comfortable beds and a great location near to skiing and walking distance to restaurants. The staff are friendly. Not a lot of choice for breakfast, but this is not a luxury hotel. It is cheap and good value.

Dear Steve, 3591, San Ramon: Clean room, comfortable beds, friendly staff and good value are a few of our most important objectives and we're happy you were satisfied. Our location, right across from the lake, and only 10 minutes to Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows were important reasons for us to buy our motel 35 years ago. By the way,... More

I've stayed here several times. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the desk staff is very friendly. Don't expect a luxury hotel; this is a basic motel, with minimal furnishings (but the bed was comfortable) and limited sound-proofing. They have free WiFi; on one stay, I barely got a signal, but on my most recent stay (in a different... More

This hotel may look fairly ordinary from the outside and being on the wrong side of the street lacks a good view of the lake. However, these would be my only considerations as the hotel is situated in the heart of Tahoe City and the rooms are exceptionally clean and spacious with excellent facilities for the budget concious traveller. These... More

How could I possibly add anything to your comments about our hotel? You named most of the features that set us apart from the pack. By the way, the balcony that overlooks the forest and hills at the back overlooks the Golf Course from Spring through the Fall. Please do come back and visit us again! More

I pulled in a couple hours later than I anticipated, and the front desk staff waited up for me and were super nice (even though I deserved a little slapping around). Location's great, and price is too. Good spot!

Our night staff are the only ones in the area that will answer the bell for late arrivals. They recognize that a person can be tired and irritated after driving so long late at night. I am so glad that they treated you "super nice" but this is the way our staff treats all of our guests!! More

Splendid, my stay was, thanks, in part, to the convenient location in Tahoe City and a great view of the lake from the Jacuzzi, and, in whole, to the front desk employees who offered insightful local advice along with a 30% discount on our room (the day we stayed Dec. 31, no snow was present and they felt bad for...
