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 included: Plenty of storage space, extra pillows, large comfortable beds, good heating, a small communal balcony overlooking the forest and hills (if you take a room at the back) a hair-dryer (surprising how many hotels overlook this) lots of free toiletries and spare towels, a shower large enough for two and a table to sit and work at. The rooms also have Wifi and the hotel has discount deals with many local restaurants and cafe's. It also boasts a hot tub on the top floor overlooking the street and lake (lovely on a moonlit night.)
There is plenty of parking and the rooms at the back are very quiet with thick curtains that shut out the light so you can sleep in until late. I would definitely come back here!
