“Our second stay -- nicely remodeled rooms, convenient location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

This is a return trip primarily for skiing. The location is good, the staff has always been helpful and friendly, and the rooms have been clean and well serviced. There are a variety of perks such as free modest breakfast, activities for each day, large selection of free videos to borrow, heated pool and hot tub, and convenient parking. These are, I believe, converted motel rooms, which means it is not a new facility and thus my 4 rating. But the two remodeled units we've used are way more than motel rooms: large kitchen, modern bath room, comfortable beds, etc. We would certainly return in the future.

Room Tip: Get a remodeled room if available. Also the studio is not to bad if that is all that is left, but t...

I am so glad you visited us again, and that you enjoyed our activities, movies, breakfast and pool. As you mentioned, we are in the process of remodeling our rooms, and the rooms are all being met with rave reviews. Since consistently updating our property is a top priority, even our oldest rooms have been remodeled within five years. I truly appreciate your kind words about the resort and I hope to see you again soon.

“Love staying here, close to everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I love staying at local places, non-chain. We almost always stay at this hotel. Sometimes you get the remodeled rooms, sometimes not. Non-remodeled are ok. Nice when you have the pull out in the living room. The min-kitchen is perfect, complete with dining everything (and wine opener). Some showers have shower heads on both sides of the shower, those are always cool. Breakfast is usually doughnuts and hard boiled eggs and juice/coffee. Staff is AMAZING.\

You CAN walk to the gondola, but with your gear, it's a bit far. No gear is fine for just hanging out.

Room Tip: Remodeled rooms!

Thank you for staying with us when you come to Tahoe! We are independent, but work as "big" as the chains to ensure guests want to come back to us on their trips. It's great to hear you love staying with us! We are close to everything, and what is farther than you want to go with gear, you can get to from the bus that stops right outside streetside. A new addition to our website is the capability to pick from the different room types so you can get remodeled room every time if that's what you want (based on availablity of course). Thanks for letting people know that the non-remodeled rooms are good too. We look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for staying with us over New Year's Eve. The general high excitement of travelers celebrating the holiday gets pretty intense sometimes, as you've seen for yourself. I'm sorry that a reveler hit your car and delighted we were able to help you get the information you needed. We certainly like to have it safe for our guests and I'm glad you wrote that you felt secure. We look forward to seeing you again - with or without the big party in town. :)

“cramped space, hard beds, hot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

these are converted motel rooms. the studio had a nice shower but absolutely no counter space. the beds are the hardest thing we have ever had to sleep on! upstairs unit gets HOT, even in Sept & there is no cross current. we ended up leaving the front door open a bit & turning the ceiling fan on high to cool the room down. clean, friendly staff yes. but not comfortable,

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.

You’ve made your preference for a softer bed very clear and I’m really very sorry we didn’t know about that during your stay. We have mattress toppers at-the-ready for people who prefer a softer mattresses and could’ve had one brought to your room had we known your sleep preferences. We have many types of extra touches that can make a room more customized for our guests; in addition to the mattress toppers and extra-extra pillows and blankets for making beds just the way you like, we have kitchen area add-ons such as electric skillets, additional 2-Burner hot plates, and even sturdy step stools for those who need an assist to reach the cookware stored in the higher shelves of our tableware/cookware stocked kitchen cabinets.

You mention that you thought the kitchen counters were not big enough and I’m sorry we didn’t meet your expectation even while I’m a little surprised by this. Most people staying with us are thrilled that we even HAVE a kitchen area, let alone counter space within the kitchen. The kitchens are a bonus in making it possible to prepare some easy meals while away from home, and I’m sorry the amount of counter space was not to your liking.

Even though two areas didn’t meet your preferences (bed softness and counter space), I’m very glad that you took the time to mention the other areas of the unit that DID work for you… the shower was nice, the ceiling fan cooled the room down during our surprisingly hot September, the room was clean and our staff friendly. Sounds like you noticed that we truly aim to please. If you stay with us again, which I hope you do, please let us know what you’d like to see done differently in your room, and we’ll do our best to make your stay tailored to your comfort preferences.

Thank you for staying with us.

“More than I expected.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

We had a lovely room. The room was much than we expected. It was very clean and comfortable. The motel was conveniently located and we walked to restaurants and attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our bus tour picked us up across the street from our motel and dropped us off at the same place. How convenient is that!!!!
