I stayed at this lodge just before Memorial Day. It's in the shadow of Harvey's Hotel and Casino and about four blocks from the beach so an almost perfect spot. The price was $38 a night for two weekend nights so a tremendous value. Front desk staff was friendly. Room was fairly spacious. Amenities were a little old but you'd... More

We thought the photos did not reflect what was there when we arrived. Although the room was large and clean the carpet was absolutely dirty in our room. Huge black marks all away around the door like someone has taken a bike apart in it. You couldn't walk around the room in bare feet or you would have dirty feet... More

I can only say some people must have the standards of HRH The Queen! This hotel was in the most beautiful location within walking distance of the ski lifts and some lovely eateries. The couple who run it were more than helpful with suggestions of where to visit, eat and things to do. The hotel was very clean and comfortable.... More

I don't know where the other reviewers stayed, but it was not this hotel! This place has never been anything but clean in all my visits over the years. Rooms are good sized, lots with beautiful wood beamed ceilings, huge closets and clean bathrooms. This will always be my choice of place to stay when at the Lake! It is... More

We got an excellent rate for this hotel. 1. The rooms are small, but you're only in the room to sleep, so we didn't really care. Breakfast is minimal but also didn't care as we aren't much breakfast people. Internet was spotty, had to use it right by the window. 2. Lots of parking and free! 3. Location a BLOCK... More

Pros: 1. Location- as others have mentioned, this property is very close walking distance to the casinos, the gondola, and the lake. 2. Separate fridge/ freezer- dorm sized fridge, but w/ a separate door for the freezer, so your items will stay frozen. Microwave is attached to the unit. 3. Real art- not a big selling point for everyone, but... More

This lodge came up on my phone at a very reasonable rate for 1 night. The front desk staff was quick with check in and very friendly. He suggested some great local activities as this was my first trip to Tahoe. My room was great when I walked in. New carpet, new bedspread, clean bathroom. I liked it so much... More
