Elevation Lodge was a pleasant surprise — comfy beds, and a cool, updated vibe. Loved being just minutes from the lake and village. It’s a fresh take on Tahoe lodging without losing that cozy feel. Would definitely stay again!

Horrible place, dirty bed, we had to grab sheets and our own pillows from our camping gear, the front desk is absolutely no help. I have never been to a worst hotel. If you care for your safety and health, don’t stay at Elevation Lodge!

It’s easier to name the things that are good about this property: comfy bed, soft towels, working fridge, space to park a trailer. Everything else is no bueno.

I was really disappointed with my stay at Elevation Lodge. The room was not clean — the floor was dirty, and the towel in the restroom still had someone else’s hair on it. There was also a bad smell in the room that didn’t go away. The toilet looked old and seemed to have plumbing issues. When I checked out, I mentioned all of this to the receptionist. He said he would let the manager team know, and while I believe he did his best, it felt like a useless response with no real resolution. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.
