Great bed, linens were nice, towels were fluffy. The staff was pleasant and helpful at each interaction. Had a great cup of coffee in the lobby for a very fair price. Had dinner across the street at Jake’s On The Lake, a Tahoe favorite!

The room was very clean, although the carpet is stained. —-I think all hotel rooms should not have carpet but some sort of hard floor for cleanliness. Convenient for walking to restaurants and biking the Truckee River. We will be back next summer.

This property is average, nothing special. Front desk is really nice & available. Our room was “ok.” Not sure why hotels have carpet, it’s so unsanitary & when was the last time they were steamed/professionally cleaned. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, could have used a pillow top. I don’t like downs pillows. They offer no support and terrible to pluck geese
