We stayed here for 3 days/ 2 nights once we checked in we got stuck with some questions however it was all online and Paige helped us navigate the check in. Very friendly/ great customer service. From the hotel it is about a 10 minute walk to Heavenly which has many stores and restaurants. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking to stay in the center of South Lake Tahoe

A Hotel for large group w/ min amenity and comfort
The hotel provides minimum accommodation need and is not designed for comfort. The hotel has a relative good location and is one of the few hotels that provide single room for up to 6 people. This trip we stayed as a family of five over two night on a weekend in February. First, the checkin was smooth with contactless and smart lock. All procedures were done in advance to arrival so was convenient and easy. The room was a room with 3 Queen beds. The facilities was minimal and is NOT designed for six people. There is only a single table with two chairs in the room, one single sink and minimum sets of hangers in the room. Therefore, there was lack of space to place personal items and we ended up having to place many items on the floor, which does not seem ideally clean. The room is heated with one single space heater and control is far away from the heater so it doesn’t seem accurately control the heating of the room. Following one night of sleep, 5 out of six of us thought it was cold at night although the temp controls says 72F. We contacted the property via text but received no response over the course of our stay so that’s a zero for service. Noise is loud as you can hear neighbors walking and showing if you’re on the 1st floor. So. If one is looking for a place to “sleep” for large group, this could be a choice but expect the minimum. For the price you pay on the weekends, I’d find somewhere else that provides better amenity, and comfort.

Kyle thank you for your feedback. We will look into these items. Our goal is to provide an amazing experience for all our guests. We are definitely busiest on weekends when families come to ski. Many of them like the close proximity to the ski slope. Thank you,Paige

Good stay
Contactless check-in and check-out was so easy! No door key or card, just a code to put in the door which was so convenient . Location was great, walking distance to Heavenly Village. The room was large and comfy. Really the only issue was the floor was a little dirty (left our socks and feet dirty) and the toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) had already been opened/used.

Horrible experience, Absolutely no response
I never heard from you guys as to our check in information. I called and called and there was no answer. So I had to call hotels.com 45 min after check in was supposed to happen not to mention 1hour and 45 after you said I was going to receive my check in information. Hotels.com tried to contact you and nothing. So they had to move us to a different hotel and charge me again. So I received a charge from you guys, which you should refund by the way. And a charge from the hotel we HAD to stay at because we were already in Lake Tahoe 5 hours away from home. Horrible experience, having to wait outside at a park in the cold for you guys to email me. And I have 2 little kids.

Selene, I am so sorry you had a bad experience. We were in communication several times before your arrival date. You even completed the request we sent you for check-in information. I don't know what changed in your contact information but we sent you the room number and door code several times. Since you booked through Hotels I don't have a way to contact you directly but sent multiple messages via the Hotels website. If you had come to the hotel, my cell phone is posted on the front door. I am always on property but due to my multiple responsibilities at the hotel, I am hardly ever in the office. If you leave a message I am immediately notified and will call right back. Again, I am sorry and will take your feedback into consideration when looking for additional means to communicate with my guests.

Decent bed, poor door choices.
Arrival and check-in was smooth. I appreciate how door codes are chosen. The bed is large and comfortable. Water pressure is good and hot. There were a couple maintenance issues I told the Office about (loose bathroom sink faucet pedestal, missing bathroom fan timer knob) not sure how those turned out - there was no changes during my stay. The proximity of the parking lot causes A LOT of sleep disturbing noise from guests with loud engines. The doors to each room have a WINDOW that CANNOT be covered. When the sun rises, the room is BRIGHT. The lock was almost impossible to use while drunk, I almost got locked out in 25 degree weather. Touch buttons are a terrible choice.

This is a beautifully renovated property. The location is great with just a short walk to the lake. Check in was easy. There was no daily beds made or trash taken out, which was a surprise. My only drawback was the room was very cold. Ample blankets were provided, but unfortunately the thermostat was climate controlled. I would recommend staying here and would do so in the future, but would just bring along an electric blanket or space heater.

Great find in Tahoe.
Our 1st time with contactless check-in. And is a great experience and hassle-free. The room is clean when we arried. No issues every thing worked as expected. Kids also like as they have their own space in the corner playing with their videos games there’s outlets right next to their bed. Highly recommended if you are in the area with family.

Never again.
Your check-in was a mess. Several conversations later with both your on-site manager and Expedia and we were taken to a room tucked away in a very dark corridor. The room was a nightmare. Garish color, bed on the floor and a bathroom that was too small by half. When the heater did not work we were given another room. Much better. Question, why weren’t we given this room first? Answer, it felt like we were being punished by the on site manager because we had problems with her check in skills. Even though this new room was much better it was still much less than we had anticipated.
