The View from the top floor!

Great location near the lake. Town is walkable. Hotel has no a/c and while it had a portable fan in the room, you have to keep the windows open for fresh air and the street below is loud until about 10p unless an emergency vehicle goes by. It's also a safety concern having to leave the window open. They're short on staff so they no longer serve breakfast (which we didn't know until we had already booked). The elevator is small and the place definitely needs an update however, the room was super clean, the bed and linens comfy, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room & staff were great! Best part, was the view from the 7th (top) floor, which was spectacular! We would definitely stay there again.

My perspective, rooms were dingy, pillows didn’t smell clean and in general needed updating. I understand the reason, but would not pick this hotel in summer due to lack of air conditioning.

This is a no frills motel/Inn. I have gone twice now and they do not have a daily maid service, the pool is full of dirt with no intention of emptying or using as a pool which is OK. This being said the Monday night to Thursday night rate is fair but, for a weekend stay it is outrages for what you receive- even for a no frills Motel/Inn. Again this is a Motel/Inn not a Hotel as advertised.

The location of this hotel is EXACTLY why I will be booking again. Despite the condition of the building, it is literally in the center of the Tahoe City community. Across the street from Commons beach, dining and shops next door, and a 7 minute walk from the nearest grocery store! The location cannot be beat.

Safety concern hopefully about to get fixed

It was fine, 1 exception: the stairs were damaged and a sign asked us not to use it and the elevator clearance expired a year ago. It’s a seven story building. One of these items should be in deemed safe and neither were. Stairs could be newly damaged so hopefully this was a rare exception at this hotel.
