I recently stayed at Basecamp in the South Lake Tahoe mountains, ideally situated just off the strip. Its location is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the nearby shops and restaurants on foot. While the on-site restaurant offers a limited menu, the food is undeniably delicious. However, my experience was marred by some issues that the management should address. The hotel highlights the availability of two hot tubs, but unfortunately, the smaller one was out of service during my stay. This became a significant problem on our second night, when a busload of 50 inadequately supervised middle school children checked in. The staff seemed unable to manage the noise levels with their chaperones effectively. The following days were disrupted by children running and screaming through the hallways late into the night and early in the morning. What should have been a relaxing getaway became quite stressful, and I left feeling far from rejuvenated. To their credit, the staff were very apologetic. They adjusted my bill and graciously provided a complimentary t-shirt upon my departure, which I appreciated. Nonetheless, this kind gesture didn't quite make up for the disruption to my holiday. In summary, while Basecamp offers a promising setting and delightful dining, they need to improve their ability to handle large groups and maintain the peaceful atmosphere guests expect. Until then, think twice if tranquility is a priority for your stay

The staff is friendly, the place is quiet and free parking is a plus. The clearness is a concern, strong pee smell at stairs, the carpet in the corridor and room is very dirty. It will be nice to have a microwave either in the room or at the lobby to heat food for a small kid.

This is a nice hotel close to the main street with shopping and restaurants and casinos. There is a beach in the other direction but I think there is a fee to use it during the high season. The staff is great. There is an outdoor patio with firepit tables, a lovely indoor reception area, a coffee shop inside the lobby (separate business), a pool and a large outdoor area with an evening band, cornhole, etc. It was quiet except for a large group of young people but they observed quiet hours for the most part. I'd stay again if in the area.

Good for family snow trip

Quick visit to the snow with kids. Liked the restaurant on property, made food easy for kids and we got to enjoy the beer selection. Room was clean, liked the balcony to drink coffee in the morning, pretty spot to watch snow fall.

Great location. The beer garden on site is awesome and the staff in there is wonderful. Our room was on the 3rd floor and had an awful mold/mildew smell- not sure if all the rooms are like that. Property encourages guests to communicate via texts but they don’t respond.

Everything was great and the gentleman at the front desk was amazing. Beds were not really queen sized and a little uncomfortable, but water pressure in the shower, all the amenities and thinks to do on the property were amazing. Would definitely stay again!
