4/10 Fair

Last minute decision to go to Tahoe and booked here. There is no front desk to check in with, everything is done via text and online which was nice. You retrieved your key from a lock box towards the front of the building. Solo female traveler and I felt a little unsafe here. The hotel is in need of some TLC. It was summer time and the linens were extremely hot! Air conditioning went on and off all night so it would wake me when it went back on and I would go from freezing to really hot. Bathroom, shower and sink were tiny. I guess that is pretty common in places like this in Tahoe. Overall it was a place to sleep. I've gone back since and did not opt to stay here again.

Very good stop on our tour. Very comfy beds, and nicely refurbished. Would highly recommend. Make sure to follow their strict instructions about check-in as the keys are placed in a lock box.

Cute motor inn, close to the lake!

Great communications, helpful staff, fairly nice room. The proximity to the Lake is amazing (1.5 blocks).

8/10 Very good

This property is located near shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean and have a mini refrigerator and microwave. The parking can be very crowded and not very spacious and the AC unit works but needs to be updated.

8/10 Very good

Bluebird excellent.

The lady up front was super sweet since we had a lot in common. They upgraded me to an ADA room with a king bed since I can’t do stairs. Only charged an extra $10 per night. The room was I pretty good shape. Needed a little paint touch up in a couple spots. But overall I will stay there again.

Very outdated, shower sprayed water all over the bathroom floor as the curtain didn't fit correctly, bed was worn out and uncomfortable.

Great service but it is very old, no amenities and too expensive. Not worth thebprice
laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not what was advertised

I rarely ever cancel a stay, but I had to here. The room was unsanitary, and the condition of the property raised safety concerns. The door didn’t close or lock properly, with visible daylight coming through the large gap. The table fan was bolted to the side of the wall, and overall, the space did not feel secure or comfortable. The parking situation was also VERY tight. I have a small car, but I wouldn't bring a truck anywhere near there. I would caution anyone considering this property—it is not what I would consider a safe, sanitary, or comfortable place to stay.

Decent hotel, but could use improvements

It’s a decent hotel, definitely on the idle . Bathroom door, did not close properly and made loud cracking noises when opened . Some of the amenities are worn down. The walls are very thin and I could hear very clearly the people next to me. Since the building is a bit on the older side, you can hear the footsteps and wood cracking from the people staying on the second floor.

Perfectly located motel for the value-conscious!

Great simple motel with great location near Heavenly Ski Resort and Stateline. Warm room, comfortable bed and good water pressure for the shower. Ample parking. This is a great value motel for those that just want the basics done right!
