Casey, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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!
George, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reasonable place for the price

3 beds in 2 pretty small rooms served the need for us staying the night during our ski trip. We ate breakfast at Heidi's just across the street. Bathroom was pretty clean. The sheets and blankets were clean too but looked quite old. Carpet looked old too. Overall, I would not mind staying again. But I would probably prefer a slightly more spacious main room.
Saheel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Pictures ate decieving. This place is OLD.

The pictures ate decieving. This place is old and has a musty smell. Lead based paint on walls. Needs updated so so bad. We took a cross country trip. Stayed in 16 hotels, this was by far the worst. When we entered the room u could smell the "old" smell. I almost slept in the car. Let the water run for 10 minutes waiting for the water to get warm but it wouldnt. Cold water only. Didn't get a good feeling at this place. Parking is tight. Do not recomme.d this place. Looked clean considering ...

Ski Vacay

Good Value, Clean Rooms. Hotel is dated but works fine for us as we’re there to ski and are only at the room to sleep. Owners are very kind.

In general is a great place to stay, it's in a principal avenue in South Lake Tahoe and it is so close for restaurantes, pharmacies and you can move around the city pretty easily

Tahoe ski trip

A very nice older motel that has been renovated and kept up. Clean room and very nice clean beds in good condition. Front clerk was very nice and hospitable. Plenty of parking in a nice neighborhood and convenient to various restaurant's locations.
Olmedo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It did not look like the pics on the website, the room was so small that we left, we didn’t like and felt so tiny for our stuff and us, the outside looked like they didn’t keep up with the place and the stairs were terrible

Jaqen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hidden gem

Staff is extremely friendly. The whole facility was perfect for our needs. You can tell they have put a lot of work into the facility. We just needed a quick stay for the reggae festival and weren’t looking for anything exuberant, but after staying here, we would come back for a multi-day vacation. Online check-in was very convenient and easy. Free coffee in the morning! We’ll be back

Location is good, nearby Safeway and Whole Foods, where you can walk to beach and port. Staffs are kind and friendly. Room is neat and comfortable, good for the price.
