We stayed for four nights here. It's a good value for the money. Very no frills...the spa isn't great but it does work ok, the sauna takes a while to heat up, but still very good for such a good price...nothing fancy but they do a good job here. More

Thank you for your very honest review. We love to read pleasant down to earth reviews like yours. It's true, if your looking for a 4-5 star resort experience then you should consider staying at one or our local casino hotels, however, if you want to save money on lodging and spend it on food and recreation, then perhaps we...

The Best Tahoe West is great hotel for ski trips. The location is excellent - Pine Avenue is quiet with little traffic noise. It is walking distance to casinos, restaurants, and the Heavenly Gondola. Best Tahoe West has always been a great value - good prices for a descent motel. They have many other amenities such as breakfast, a laundry... More

Thank you for your very kind and direct to the point review. It's true, people like to be near the casinos, Gondola, beach and marina. They want the location and they want value and that's why they choose us. We offer convenience, great service and low room rates which is how we became popular. Thanks again and please call us...

This hotel is a great value. First off, we stayed here for a weekend trip to Heavenly. Three nights at the hotel and two days on the mountain. If your looking for the Ritz, don't stay here. If you would rather spend money on lift tickets and food then stay here. Pros: Good location to Heavenly and casinos Free breakfast... More

We stayed here last weekend and it was great!! The room was very clean, the staff was so friendly and the price is unbeatable!! It is very close to everything but feels more private. So glad we stayed here, definitely will stay here again when we return! More

I wanted to drop this quick review to James Clarke, General Manager, and his staff. My family and I have stayed at many motels/ hotels in the area for years and found the recent stay truly a pleasure. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the location close to skiing and the nite life was perfect. We really appreciated the... More

Very friendly staff. Clean rooms. Perfect location. What more could you want?!!? We have stayed in quite a few motels in South Lake Tahoe as it's one of our favorite destinations. We'll never stay anywhere else after finding Best Tahoe West Inn. We wish we could come back every week! More

Thank you for your very kind review. It's our mission to exceed guest expectation of lodging in our economy rate bracket. Of course, we're not a highrise luxury hotel at three times the price... but we're a terrific hotel with a great location at very affordable rates and a staff that like people. Please call us directly or visit our... More

Thank you for your great share. We have certianly come to know and enjoy many families over the years. Now I get to see the children that first came into our hotel in the '90s grow up and bring their own families in. Thank you for your letting us be your home away from home. More

It's a clean and decent place for the price; $100/night per room comparing to others in the area. Good location, closed to all major attractions. Free breakfast is a plus. Staff is very helpful; I got good advice of where to go from them. We drive up to heavenly ski to look down to the lake instead of paying for... More

Pros: Central Location, Water pressure was great in the shower, staff was friendly, helpful and professional, especially their GM, John. Con: Walls are thin and Floors are very squeaky. Really affected my sleep b/c I could hear ppl moving and that was really annoying. So, if available, definitely ask to stay on the 3rd floor, It maybe a lot quieter!... More

My hotel stay at the Best Tahoe West Inn was comfortable and well worth the price. We stayed in a standard room with two queen sized beds which was all we needed. What I thought was impressive was how the inn had a decent complimentary breakfast and wireless access. Overall this place more than exceeded my expectations, and I would... More
