This is an old hotel that has been reasonably well kept up considering a management company that doesn't want to spend money. The manager, Sam and his wife Natasha are wonderful people that only want to make your stay special. The rooms are old but not bad. We had a great jacuzzi tub (STE A) and sat on the porch enjoying the peace. We will definitely return

In March 2009 we stayed in Hacienda inn.It was an old motel,but very neat and cozy. We stayed in a nice,clean room with a spa and wooden walls.The managers were very friendly.We had a great time and the best customer service.We are definately coming back!

As connoisseur of cheap motels (we try not to spend more than fifty bucks), I have lots of low end properties to compare this dump to. This one was by far the worst.

We got a two-bed room. How many towels would you expect? At least four, right? Nope. They provided two. Two towels and two bars of soap and some plastic cups. No shampoo, no coffee maker, no continental breakfast (or even coffee) in the lobby, no hangers in the closet (!), all amenities we have found at other cheap motels.

The room was absolutely filthy. There was a wet spot on the carpet next to the mini fridge I don't even want to contemplate. It looked like the carpet had not been vacuumed in at least a month (to give them the benefit of the doubt), the toilet bowl was dirty, the shower was dark, and maybe that was a good thing. I shudder to think of what I might have seen growing in the shower if there had been light in the bathroom, and there was trash (empty whiskey bottles, etc) under the beds.

I went to bed fully clothed, and now I'm sitting here itching just remembering the place.

Don't pay more than fifty bucks to stay in this hole! And even that's way too much. BUT it is in South Lake Tahoe and very close to Heavenly. So for the location and the hot tub, it is not a complete loss. But there are other places in the same location that are worth the few bucks more you might have to spend.

Stayed at the Tahoe Hacienda Inn in South Lake Tahoe in February 2008. The place has turned into a dump. Here is what I encountered in my room during my stay: 1) the light above the desk was burned out or inoperative; 2) 1 of the 2 lights in the bathroom was burned out; 3) the lamp shades on both side of the bed were filthy and torn; 4) the "towel bar" in the bathroom only had the 2 ends with no bar in-between them; 5) the bath towels were more like hand towels; 6) the green carpet was filthy and desperately needed shampooing or replacing; 7) the shower door was about to fall off of it's hinges; 8) when showering, if another guest turns on their hot or cold water "watch out' , you'll be scalded or frozen in the shower.

I have stayed at this Inn (motel) in the past and it was ok for the price. However, the current owners/managers have really let the place go. It was, as are most motels in the area, built in the 50's. The Hacienda looks quite rustic from the outside with old pine trees throughout the parking lot and property. One of the other reviews states that the property is just a short walk from the Heavenly Ski Gondola, it is not. The Hacienda is quite a drive down Lake Tahoe Blvd. I believe they may be confused with another property at which they may have stayed.

Bottom line: Stay away, you can do much better for the price!
