Disliked: Amenities
The hot tub was closed. The room was very noisy to sleep at night due to the weird heating device that was generating horrible noises, it was also heating the room very unevenly, grilling right next to it, very cold at night if away from it. The bedding was thin and uncomfortable. We booked 2 nights, and ran away after one night.

Love this place

The staff is always so nice and professional. The rooms are clean, plenty of parking, it's quiet. The towels are okay but if you stay in hotels a lot like I do, you know they don't use softener due to people having allergies. The sheets are fresh and always clean. The water pressure is good too. The pillows are amazing!. All in all, I have stayed here before and will do so again.

Great place close to everything

Was up in Tahoe doing a few hikes and this inn was a delight. Very close to everything in South Lake Tahoe, maybe 10 min drive to Stateline? Walkable restaurants and coffee Nextdoor and across the street. Hot tub is a nice touch and there’s a GRILL guests can use! I had no idea till my last day there. Pretty cool. Definitely staying again!
