Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe

Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good
"Staff was great! The inn is very cute and super close to the beach, we took advantage of the vouchers available to get into lakeside at a discount. Breakfast was great and yummy. The rooms are pretty small but we made it work, wasn’t a huge deal. Only complaint was there was sand from the beach on our bathroom floor when we arrived, and the toilet seat was broken, not ideal, but not a life ruining experience! Overall a comfy and accommodating stay! We’d stay here again."
