I was very nervous to book this hotel from reading previous reviews . Not sure why the reviews were negative. For the area and price of other properties it was a great value. Was clean, walkable to a beach and water and restaurants . Check in process easy and staff was very friendly ! We happened to have a great view of the lake on the 3rd floor. It is an older property but that didn’t matter to me I just need a clean place to sleep and it met that requirement. Also note there is no A/C in the rooms . However apparently most hotels in Tahoe City do not have A/C so it’s no different than the high end ones . I am glad I booked it and would stay there again if ever back in the area.

Road construction
The room was fine. We were not informed that there was night construction going on right outside our room. Jackhammering lasted from 8pm-midnight. Backup alarms and equipment was running until 6am and we did not get much sleep. With the hotel would have informed us of the construction and giving us earplugs.

Descent
Descent place to stay. Very small room but it worked. Convenient to restaurants and the lake is right across the road. If you visit in the summer, know there is no air conditioning just a little table fan. We left our windows open to pull the air thru. The nights were cooler so it wasn’t that bad. The guy at the check in desk was very nice and answered all my ?’s.

I don’t even have time in my life to get into all the details of how bad our experience was at this hotel. We paid $250/night for a tiny room with no ac or ventilation. I tried calling the hotel 5 times before check in to ask for a late check in and no one answers the phone, the voicemail says they only have the office open from 3pm-10pm due to staffing issues??? Even after 3 pm no one answers.. The room was hot and stuffy, and then they started doing road construction right outside the hotel in the middle of the night. Since we had to leave our window open for any sort of relief from the heat, we had to listen to Jack hammering all night. Everything is completely run down. Would never stay again or recommend this place. Go somewhere else! $250/night is highway robbery for this trash hole!
