The bed was sagging to one side. Matress was never turned or it was super old. Made it hard to sleep. Also, the elevator permit is expired.

The room was simple and quiet, had everything we needed. The view from our fifth floor room was amazing. And the front desk clerk was so friendly and kind even as we arrived late on a snowy night when he was very busy.

Front desk lady was lovely. Parking is a challenge (especially for high profile vehicles). There is a small underground parking garage but most people park in the spaces at street level. She was active in helping people get parked safely. We have stayed here a few times. Rooms are clean. Elevator is sketchy (makes lots of noise and permit expired in 2023). Exterior stairs also sketchy as concrete is crumbling on some of the stairs. Easy enough to skip a stair or two. There was a sign by the stairs indicating a safety concern and direction to use the elevator. After seeing the expired permit in the elevator I took my chances on the stairs. The upper rooms do have lake view. While it sounds unsafe, I’m still giving 4 stars: clean rooms, inexpensive and I spend my days in Tahoe taking my chances on my snowboard; I think I can navigate the stairs. 😉
