Great location- walk across the street to get to bike trails and beach access. Hotel is cute with lots of rustic reclaimed wood and nice decor. Had great wine and watched Monday night football at Uncorked with some friendly locals. Only minor downside is showerhead was from about 1976 so the shower experience wasn't as great as I assumed it would be with all the other uogrades and attention to detail

The stay at Welk Northstar was amazing! They supplied just about everything you need from kitchen to laundry room & bathrooms of course. It was just my husband and myself in the two bedroom villa and it was so beyond spacious! We stayed during off season so if you are wanting to enjoy the village it is very sparse. We only went down to Starbucks and cooked our own food so for us it wasn’t a problem. The only thing I wish they would change are pool hours, we’re early birds and 9am is kind of late...

10/10 Exceptional

Truckee Donner Lodge is, without a doubt, the most pleasantly surprising hotel I've ever stayed at. Recommended by a friend, I was initially skeptical about its 3-star rating. However, I was quickly proven wrong. The rooms at Truckee Donner Lodge are incredibly spacious, featuring comfortable desks and sofas, not to mention the convenience of having both a microwave oven and a refrigerator. The daily housekeeping service is impeccable, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment throughout our...

We loved our little lakeside studio! It's about 100 steps from the front porch and we're on the beach! The full kitchenette was great and the nearby Safeway meant we were able to save $$ on food. It's still off season and we came in the midweek, so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. This hotel also had a private pier, and we walked out there on our first night and sat on the bench just taking in the peace and beauty of the lake.

Border House at Crystal Bay Casino

10/10 Exceptional

This is a hotel with a casino in it. My son wanted to play casino games before a day of snowboarding. It was clean and recently updated bathroom. Very comfortable beds. The only thing that I didn’t care for was the dimly lit room. There were canned ceiling lights that had covers more appropriate for aiming at hung pictures. There was only one table lamp with a black shade. One of the two bathroom mirror’s lights weren’t working. For one night it was ok but very overpriced.

5 Stars all the way!!!! From the moment we checked in, which the staff was so friendly, to going into the safe parking garage, you know right off this is going to be amazing! When we went to go check out our suite, WOW what a surprise. Full kitchen, no need to bring anything except your own food and drinks, because the little store is reay high priced, dining room table, couch, gas fireplace, balcony that looks out into the courtyard that would be a perfect place for the Summer Blues nights,...
