Quiet and available when I got snowed into Tahoe. However, it's 30 minutes from Truckee. A simple space with cute ski designs. The one thing that I didn't like, however, was the place was severely doused with something that smelled like Fabreeze. I don't use scented laundry products. It reeked and all my pajamas and ski clothes ended up smelling like the Goodwill. I set some of it aside and it took 1.5 months for the smell to go away. I tried washing some and it made my others clothes reek. There has to be a less stinky way to keep the place clean. The lobby was fun, staff nice.

Great pick

Great setup all-around, and really wasn’t expecting the lobby to be so great- couches, fireplace, games, drinks on tap, s’mores and firepits. Definitely would come back next visit.

We stayed 3 nights on a ski trip. Great location with a grocery store across the street, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and 10-15 minute drive to the mountain. Perfect for our needs.

Disliked: Staff & service
I have stayed here previously and really enjoyed it. I was refused service by the desk staff on Sunday, January 26th as I was there with a female partner and was treated hostiley. The desk staff cancelled our reservation with no explanation leading me to believe that the decision was discriminatory against us. I followed up with the Manager who is not responding to my emails.

Hey Aztec

Living room lobby was like having a cabin but at a third of the cost. Loved this place!

Friendly staff, great location. Rustic themed decor, basic but comfortable. Paid surge pricing for the holidays and cannot get over the price vs service factor but that is to be expected.

Gun lobby area with board games, beer and wine. Superb snow clearance after nearly a foot of snowfall. Very walkable to everything Tahoe City offers, lake, coffee, restaurants, hiking and snowshoeing right out the back.
