Top First Ride Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is very clean and the staff were terrific! There was construction going on outside of our room, so that’s why we marked it as good and not excellent as far as cleanliness. Otherwise it was perfect! The only bummer was that it cost $30.00 to park each day and when we got our email about what to expect it said mandatory valet. Hotels.com did not say anything about that, so we were really thrown off when we read that. Thankfully we were able to self park but we still had to pay the $30.00. We will definitely want to stay there again, but hopefully they change thier parking arrangements once the construction is over with."

Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Overall everything was pretty great but not sure if I was getting scammed or if there was a miscommunication. I went to the bar during happy hour the day I arrived and got a couple of drinks and food. Was charged full price but when I mentioned happy hour they fixed it saying that happy hour went away, despite it being on the paper I was given at check in 30 minutes prior. The rest was a good experience overall."
