    The location The room had a weird smell

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Convenient location Some of the exterior stairs and seating areas weren’t very clean. Still enjoyed our stay!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our room had a broken air conditioner but they did bring in a portable air cooler, it was just really loud. Having two hot tubs and a brewery attached to it was a definite plus and it was in a great location where we could scooter or walk to both shops and the lake. There were also plenty of options for parking.

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Perfect stay in South Lake Tahoe- clean rooms, comfy beds, great staff, coffee house was excellent, Tesla chargers, proximity, and beach passes.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It’s an older hotel but very well maintained. Very charming and it’s fantastic that they have on site eateries.

    Location. Close to the beach and restaurants There were bedbugs. We all woke up to multiple bites. There were visible dirt/hand/foot/shoe prints under the upper bed bunks. There was a strange smell in the hallways in the evening (from the brewery?). The ceiling fan was broken. Slow response from staff, though they were all nice.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the outdoor space with fire pits, activities and live music. Great place to enjoy time with family! The front desk was very welcoming and helpful, too.

    We stayed in this South Lake Tahoe location for about 4 days and based on my experience, this property functions more as a motel than a hotel. Property features on the hotels.com website says daily housekeeping, but when you arrive, you get a text saying daily housekeeping is not offered. We are a family of 4 and I ended up taking out the garage in the room a few days. When I asked about housekeeping, they said it was by request only. I requested it and no one came the following day. We stayed in the family room and walls near the bunk bed were filthy. The balcony appeared to have some dry rot and rust. The room was stuffy and we had to run a loud free standing AC unit to cool down the room. The shower was TINY. There were disgusting smells coming from the nearby restaurant and the stairs and hallway to get to the room were dirty and not well maintained. Overall not the experience I expected to have from a high rated 3 star hotel. Even the stock pictures are misleading - they display pics from their other locations.

    Meh…. Room smelled. Overrated.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Friendly staff, clean rooms

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We were in unit 201 right above the coffee shop so at 6 AM you could hear them talking and getting ready to open. There is no body wash in the shower. But it’s a nice area with a nice outdoor.
