This is a family run motel right on Lake Tahoe's north shore. It is in a convenient location for both ski areas during the winter and lake activities during the summer. Truckee, Squaw, Sand Harbor, Northstar and Mt Rose are less than 30 min drive. This area of Lake Tahoe does not have the large resorts and chain restaurants (like... More

We love this place. The location is perfect, 12 minutes from North Star! Clean rooms, nice continental breakfast. We have only stayed here during winter months for skiing, so we have not used the pools. They have 2 hot tubs, one indoors and one outside. The indoor hut tub is one you need to reserve in 1/2 hour increments, perfect... More

Thanks for taking the time to review our property. We hope you can come during the summer. This is our most popular time as Kings Beach is a great summer town with jet skiing, parasailing and kayaking right next door, music on the beach once a week, a great old time mini golf, and more restaurants open. And, being in... More

There was not much available during the Christmas at the ski resorts , so we booked a room at FERRARI'S CROWN. The room had partial lake view, it had kitchenette and 1 king bed. When I booked the room I assumed that “King Lake View” would face a lake. Turned out that is called “King Lake Front”. There is breakfast... More

Sorry for the mix up on the room types. We have worked to make our room descriptions accurate. We have some of the few true "lakefront" rooms on the North Shore to try to make that differentiation. We do provide cream cheese and yogurt in the breakfast room but no peanut butter. In terms of sleep quality, all beds in... More

The Crown is my go-to place for when I ski multiple days in north lake -- even though it's a longer trek to everything but Northstar. Kings Beach has a unique charm and this motel fits right in. Unpretentious and utilitarian with a very friendly staff. It's not the Ritz, but I'm always too tired to be bothered by a... More

Thanks for the nice review. We do hope the Crown and being right on the shore of Lake Tahoe is worth a couple more miles to drive. Not too many places anymore that one can be on the Lake at a reasonable price. See you next time. Dave Ferrari More

This hotel was affordable, in a great location, and with a beautiful view of the lake. We loved playing ping pong, dipping in the hot tub during sunset, and walking to Kings Beach. I would definitely stay there again.

Thanks for taking the time to get back to us. We agree that rooms closer to road are a bit noisier but thankfully, Kings Beach is a pretty slow town at night. We did just replace all the windows in rooms 401 to 407 to double pane and rooms are much quieter according to our regulars. See you next time.... More

Sorry we didn't offer the free upgrade. We sometimes do this or upgrade for less than rack rate but have no strict policy on this. In an area that is seldom at full occupancy, it would not make good business sense to do free upgrades as a general policy. We will always move a guest to a different room in... More

Great location to major ski resorts, clean rooms, friendly staff and very affordable. Private hot tub was awesome( sign up early) great views of the lake, balcony wraps around the building didn't need a lake view room to enjoy the view.i would definitely stay here in the future.

Thanks for getting back to us. Being clean, friendly and affordable is certainly what we strive to be. We do have some bad days but many more good ones… we also hope that our easy access to the shore of Lake Tahoe is an extra amenity. Hope to see you again, Dave Ferrari More
