Super friendly and helpful owner and crew, if bedding and sheets can be newer, that's 5 stars. An affordable place with walking distance to Gondola. I appreciate you host and offer us a room during the new year with short notice. Happy new year!

Perfect for what we needed, a budget hotel for one night within walking distance to the events center. Tons of shopping, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Easy check in. Room was clean but a bit run down, didn't bother us.

Not bad for an expensive Town Like South L.Tahoe.

Not hotel room but u a bad stay. Price was a little high for a typical hotel room but this is South Lake Tahoe. The place was a little small but is kept very clean. Shower and sink faucet water was slow to warm. Bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows if you don't like to sleep flat. Location is excellent next to shops also Harrah's and Caesars Republic Casinos are about 430 steps away on the sidewalk. I booked with Hotels.com for $208 for 2 nights. I may call the hotel directly the next time I stay there if I do not have comp stay at Harrah's.
