This was our first time to Tahoe, going for our 25th anniversary. It was off-season and Hannah, the owner, gave us great rates; I looked around quite a bit and I'm certain there was not a better place for the price.
The location is terrific - close to restaurants, parks, and activities and a walk to the beach. Right in South Lake Tahoe, but off the main traffic flow. You won't get great views here, but you aren't far from Emerald Bay, Heavenly, and other nice vistas.
Key for me when staying somewhere is cleanliness - and this place passed easily. Neatly kept and very clean. Not an upscale place and certainly not new, but very satisfactory.
Although it is motel-like in appearance, Hannah's touch makes it feel more like an inn. She was very helpful with tips and ideas. Our room had french doors for an entry. I found the bed comfortable (meaning moderate in firmness/softness) and slept well. The gas stove was a nice touch and warmed the room quickly and nicely in the evening.
If we returned, we would stay here again without hesitation.
