Friendly, communicative staff, clean rooms, good location to walk to the gondola. Some wear and tear starting to show - might be time for some rehab.
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and attentive. The only complaint was that on Saturday night we had difficulty finding parking due to the restaurant using the same parking as the hotel. But other than that it was great!
Rooms were great! Location is amazing, walking distance to heavenly! Even in the snow, coffee shop and brewery on site is well appreciated! Cant wait to go back! Amazing customer service
The Room was spacious and Clean. Loved the vibes. And Yes, the Staff was respectful and very accommodating. Awesome place to stay, just close enough to the Village
Great spot! Very walkable for Tahoe, and a fun environment to stay in. Live music, cafe, brewery, all make this it feel like a nice and festive place to stay.
This entire place was great. There’s nothing fancy. It’s simple it’s relaxing it’s clean people were great the fire pits were lit the hot tub was running. I didn’t use the hot tub out side in the snow but the people in there seemed to be having a great time. Since there will be a next time I’ll definitely try that out.
The room was clean. The amenities were Awesome so cool love the fire pits and ez parking. I love that it was in walking distance of the lake and down town.Staff was nice a friendly
