Top First Ride Hotel Reviews

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this property twice now. It’s convenient for us as we like to walk to the South Lake Tahoe town and also easy access coming from Kingsbury road. The rooms are spacious and everything we bring such as coolers, beach chairs, umbrella, luggage etc fits in the room."

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"We LOVED staying at this hotel, everything was perfect! The location is right across the street from a walking trail on the lake, it’s nearby Safeway, nearby a gas station, and the attached restaurant Elements is delicious. MacDuff’s restaurant down the road is also divine. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and we especially loved the attached patio to open the door and enjoy the beautiful weather. We hand selected this hotel after driving around and deciding on the best area to stay in, and we couldn’t have asked for more!"

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

8/10 Good

"If there were better directions about how to use the TV & DVD player maintenance wouldn’t have had to come up to our room twice. Should’ve had ice in ice trays & fridge was too cold & ruined our grapes. $30 a day parking was excessive. Pulling up to entrance, being in a line & not sure if we’re supposed to wait there, meanwhile cars would pull up next to our line & disembark was confusing. Turned out cars in front of us were empty & we could just leave our car. There was no staff to inform or help. I assume the hotel is short staffed. But the room, beds & staff were really nice & we even had a partial view of the lake that was very much appreciated!"

The Americana Village

8/10 Good

"The swimming pool was small & always full of people & children, not enough room for most of the people that stayed at the village. Fold out couch was not very comfortable to sleep on. A little bit farther from the lake then we thought. Room was very clean. Service was excellent, the staff was very friendly & very efficient & helpful. If we needed anything they got it for us “right away”. The breakfast was good & healthy, but not a lot to choose from. For the most part we enjoyed our stay."
