Emerald Bay Lodge

2/10 Terrible

"we arrived after a 9-hour drive expecting to check in at 4:00 pm, but the front desk agent, almost laughing about it, told us they were still waiting for housekeeping to prepare our room. it wasn’t ready until 5:30 pm, and we had plans scheduled just 30 minutes later there were also several other issues: the room didn’t have a proper mirror besides a very small one in the bathroom, and we were given the wrong door code. after returning later, we couldn’t get back into our room because of it unfortunately, based on our experience, i can’t really recommend this hotel"

Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"Our suite was spacious, spotlessly clean, and gave us plenty of space to relax. The tropical decor, complete with a parrot fly-by theme, brought a fun energy to the mountains. We loved the central location—we were able to walk straight to the Heavenly Village gondola and nearby shops. We can’t wait to come back!"

Camp Richardson Historic Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My experience here was really well. The staff there were great and greeted me and my wife happily, even though it was late. They made sure we had everything to get settled in. Parking was good and we like that we can just walk down to the shore from the hotel. It was a really great stay."

Apex Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I think it’s a great quaint motel right before you hit the busy zones of Tahoe and right outside Tahoe Valley campground. The property is family owned and very well maintained. The room is clean and nice and has all the basics you need. I really loved the lighted bathroom mirrors. Parking was plenty plus easy to park a truck. You do go to another hotel Apex also owned by them a couple bldgs down to check in but it was easy. Don’t come expecting a 4 star then be mad you don’t get it. Because it’s not and they don’t claim to be but what you do get is nice simple meet your needs and a little more very clean and safe motel for a great savings. I love carpet in my rooms which this had and I loved and all the space in the room for our bags or bikes even. You can tell they’ve really put ALOT of effort into making this nice. If you’re not into hard very firm spring beds and firm pillows well then, being some extra like I do. There are Great little places nearby to eat and walk to or bring your bikes. Or head to nearby trails for a nice hike to Truckee river. I really like the owners and staff they went above and beyond to make our stay welcome from beginning to end. If they did even once a year upgrade a room mattress at a time to a memory foam mattress they’d be my perfect secret spot to stay!! But if you love an old fashion spring firm one you’re set now :) thank you for hosting look forward to future visits!"
