This is a tale of two cities. Our first night was awful. We were assigned a room that we learned later had not been used in a "couple of months." Noone was there after hours (it's a 8:30-5:30 situation & you get the key from a lock box). The room we were assigned was a paired down version of a hotel room, basic uncomfortable beds, was not cleaned well (wax and stains on the comforters, hair in bed sheets, dirty sink) and it reeked of cat urine. Two of the lamps were not working, and the floor creaked badly and had obvious depressions near the closet. The cat smell was overwhelming, our kids cried and we were near abandoning ship and going somewhere else but all other options were $420+/night at last minute, so we suffered it out and send an email through hotels.com to the management. To their credit, they called us the next morning as soon as they got into the office, reassigned us to a new room and were very apologetic and gave us a discount on the stay. The new room was like a whole new world- clean, more comfortable beds, no odor of pets/cats, functioning lights and appliances, wall decor, nice newer bed covers, and felt more like what we had experienced the first time we stayed here back in 2021. So I pumped up my review based on this change- I think we were assigned that room as an oversight. We did learn that there are people living in this motel full time as residents, and we suspect it is being used as transitional housing, be aware if your travelling with kids.

Room was clean but the mattress was deplorable. Like sleeping in a taco shell, no support. Staff was incredibly friendly and polite. Without them our trip would have been miserable.

The place is old, its unsafe. It really needs a full inspection by health and building inspectors. The place was clean, the girl working the desk was good. It was clean. 2nd floor, going up the stairs, there a 10 or 20 ton jack holding up the 2nd floor cat walk, so if an earthquake came and moved it ud be stuck. The bed, spring type, hard not good ., bathroom no CURTAIN, WHEN ITS LIGHT OUSIDE SAME INSIDE. The bathroom floor is really soft in the underlayment, theres gotta be holes in it. The shower, use at your own risk. Set the temp, but beware of someone else turning the water on in another room or somewhere. Itll be nice, THEN SCALDING HOT. I MEAN HOT. there is no swimming pool and appears to havent worked for some time. Its a cheap hotel. And is as such

Property looks very old they even have a hydraulic jack holding the stairs porch and there is a big whole in the pool like someone crashed into it from the street. Property is dirty with a strong smell of dog pee, specially at reception.

1.0 / 10.0

Terribly run down and dirty. Floor in room was caving in and slanted badly. Smell was awful. It was mixed with mold and cigarette smoke. The smell permiated on my clothes which were in my suitcase, zipped up. When I got home, all my clothes still smelled like the room and even the ones that were still clean had to be washed. Please note that Ive stayed in many cheap and run down hotels in my lifetime in many different cities and state, but this was the most awful hotel I have ever stayed at. the worst part is it wasn't cheap, so I didn't really save much by going there, and during all of this. the so called cable t v didn't even work, so we didn't have t v for the three ninth stay there. lastly, a dumpster outside where you had to walk up. The stairs was filled with dirty towelson sheets the whole 3 days. We were there 30000 sheets, just being thrown on and on and on to making it even higher. That's one of the nastiest things i've seen at a hotel. Typically they try to hide the dirty sheets, but these people just keep it out in the open for everyone to see right next to where people have to walk. and to conclude staff, there was not friendly and looked like tweakers. Just being honest.

This is a basic hotel room close to the casinos. The room and shower could have been cleaner. But it worked for the price.

I got there after 4pm, so a key was in a lock box outside the room. Had a key inside as well very nice. The bed was very comfortable and clean

Website pics are not accurate. Draperies were ripped and torn in the room next to us and so created anxiety for our stay. Unfortunately it was a concert weekend and finding a room was difficult.

10.0 / 10.0

The staff really went above and beyond to be helpful. They let me leave my car for several days while I was backpacking and they were very kind and accommodating. The room was very clean and comfortable. It was quiet and it’s an easy walk to shops and restaurants. If you’re looking for a 5 star luxury resort, this isn’t it but if you need a comfortable, inexpensive place while in S. Tahoe this is a great spot.

My dad has bad knees and couldn’t walk up the stairs. They switched us to a room on the bottom floor as soon as it was available.

2.0 / 10.0

This place is in urgent need of a renovation. The curtains needed replacing about 20 years ago. The front porch is full of ash trays and sketchy people hanging out who most likely live there. There was no chair or table to sit in the room. The pool looks as it was drained and collecting junk for a decade. The staff was friendly. The housekeeper was more than helpful and brought needed pillows and towels quickly.

The tub was in the middle of the room as if it was a stage. The toilet was dirty and didn’t flush easily. I felt sorry for the person below us because the floors squeaked really bad! The location wasn’t bad but it was an old low grade hotel, we won’t stay there again.

4.0 / 10.0

Room dirty, entire building needs upgrade. Squeaky floors, needs new paint, king bed not stable and not good for 2 people. marijuana odor in room. When i didnt smell it smelled like a dog. Cannot close bathroom door. Pool empty yet pictire is full. Sink has no stopper plug. There are people living here also. Will not return to this property

The comforter felt unclean, the tub had puddles of water in it when we arrived, they only provided two pillows for the bed, there were rats in the wall that we could hear. Location was good, and it was quiet.

It was dirty and nothing to do with pictures posted. The bathroom area window was missing blinds/curtains and the light from outside didn’t let me sleep. We lost power early morning and couldn’t use hair dryer, we left sooner than expected. Lots of dog hair on stairs and hallways.

Walking in to check in the front lobby smelled like cat and had cat hair everywhere. We were instructed that are room key was in a lockbox outside our room. The lockbox was unlocked…. After entering the room the smell of dog pee was instant. I guess that’s what $200/night gets you in Tahoe anymore. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough the next morning
