“This is one of my favorite places to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

The rooms aren't anything spectacular, but I love the sitting area outside where you can BBQ and just lounge around. Its a very relaxing place to stay. An easy walk to the Lake, the shops and restaurants of the Ca side, and the casinos of the NV side of Tahoe. You couldn't ask for anything better location wise, unless you want to be right on the beach. For a low budget vacation, I really like staying Blue Lake Inn.

“Unbeatable location, basic but fine”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Can't beat the location here - 3 minutes walking to Heavenly gondola. My friend and I just walked out with our ski boots on and didn't have to even rent a locker. So easy. The amenities are few but the basics are there - hot shower, firm bed, basic toiletries, very simple breakfast (instant oatmeal, donus, apples, coffee.) Steps to restuarants, bars, Harrah's. This is for you if you value ski in/ski out, not for you if you are going to be in the hotel all day or you need luxury.

Thank you very much for your review. Our location is indeed unbeatable, just a short walking distance to major attractions. We are two-star hotel but we make sure that your stay with us is comfortable and enjoyable. We provide continental breakfast, free wi-fi, compact fridges, microwaves in all rooms. And after a busy day on the slope, you can relax in our hot tub. We hope you will come back soon since it seems that winter is just beginning in Lake Tahoe and skiing will only get better

“Great, would stay here again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

Great room for the price. A/C worked good, clean room, little coffee maker in room, super cold refrig., hot shower, hair dryer in room. Walking distance to Stateline activities, and gondolas. We made a reservation the day before travel for 2 rooms, and then for another room. They made accomadations for all 3 to be very close together after finding out we were together.

It's a simple little lodge type of place! All we needed for our one-night stay! Rooms were clean and very close to the casinos (about 3 blocks from Horizon)! When the room door was open, you could see Heavenly mountain! I'd definitely stay there again!
