Affordable & centrally located

I had a one night and 6 night stays over 2 weeks. Lucy is accommodating and quick & easy check in. Location is excellent, easy walk to gondola, restaurants, casinos, and Starbucks. Older building, my rooms appear to be recently updated. Has an in room refrigerator and microwave. A good value if you just want hotel without all the frills.

Liked: Staff & service
Budget Inn offers exactly what’s on the label but fits the bill perfectly when looking for a warm bed right across the street from the Heavenly Gondola and plenty of options around for après-ski food and drink. Bring a grounded power bar though as none of the plugs in the room would hold a two-prong charger in place.

With parking now a problem at Heavenly because you can't park on Ski Run Blvd anymore, the free parking with walking to Gondola is great.

Great location close to Stateline and all the activities. Shopping and dining options close by, as well as within walking distance of a nice beach at the lake. For the price, this has to be the best deal in Tahoe.
