Parking was easy. Ice machine was not operational, bathroom was a little dirty. TV and mini fridge both worked. Just a bit too far from the Heavenly gondola to walk with snowboards though.

Its four stars not five due to this being a cheap motel. I did not know until I arrived that I needed to obtain the key from the front desk of the motel next door. The room was clean and functional, but nothing to write home about. It served my purpose well, which was to get in and out of South Shore in one night.

Room was nice and very warm. The bathroom was a bit small but it worked . It was very quiet during our stay. No coffee pot or phone in room. They don't serve breakfast, only coffee in the morning in the office and don't want you cooking in the rooms. Big tvs with good channels. Would recommend bringing your own hair conditioner and shampoo.. nice location in the middle of everything of South lake Tahoe.
