The location is nearly perfect! The rate was incredible. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was the lack of A/C but we knew that going in. The service was great. The room was nice and clean. Literally across the street from the lake shore and a little park. Would definitely recommend!

Great value for the area

This place is older, the furniture is worn and the decor is dated BUT it’s a clean room with a bed to sleep on at a decent price for the area. Now let’s talk about the area… Right across the street from a beautiful, quiet public beach. You cannot beat the location.

Only redeeming qualities are location and price. Arrived to check in and there was nobody to check in with. Phone calls went unanswered. Other people were waiting too. Waited around for 30 minutes and someone renting a room felt sorry for us and gave us the cell phone number for the person who works tje office, but no answer. An hour and a half after arriving, we finally get a call. Finally get a room and immediately regret it. Bathroom had ants and a funky smell (like cat pee). TV didn't work. No ac so the only way to get air moving is the window. Pillows were flat and musty. Thank goodness it was only one night.

The location is awesome and so is the price! but compared to other budget motels you really get what you pay for. The walls are paper thin and the room I had had virtually no power cables. Dude that runs it is nice though.

If your looking for someplace to stay on a Budget this is it, for me it had great water pressure and the water was hot, the TV and remote worked even had ESPN2 For F1 race on Sunday. Right next to a 7-11 to get coffee at 6 am also has a kitchenette if you want to make it yourself and a park and beach across the street on Lake Tahoe and a excellent Bar and restaurant next to it. A for if you can overlook it’s not new and perfect.

Owner, Ed, was great. He did everything. One man band. The room was rustic. It had a microwave, fridge, and table. ADA shower and chair. It was not a modern room but that’s to be expected from a rustic motel. Picnic table, bbq, and electric frypan present. Adjacent to the 7/11 convenience store open 24/7! Right across from the beach! The only negative is no AC, just a fan. No bueno on the hottest of summer eves, which was during our stay, of course. Otherwise, great location and value.

A bad situation that got resolved

When we got to the hotel it was 11:30pm. Ed, the host of the hotel had left a key for us. We were tired and were looking forward to go to bed but we couldn’t as the bed had dog hair everywhere and the floor was dirty. I called the host until he answered and once he checked the room, he was shocked and apologetic for the situation. He immediately changed the sheets and cleaned the floor. After that all went well. The bathroom was cleaned and overall the room was decent. I was impressed by his responsiveness and gentleness.

Just Right - Clean, Comfortable, Convenient

My family and I stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Northstar and it was everything we needed. The room was very clean and much larger than I thought it would be. The beds had a ton of blankets, with extras available "just in case". The heater worked amazing and the in-room coffee was offered in actual coffee cups, which was a pleasant surprise. The wifi was strong and free. Ed at the front desk was friendly, prompt and he had great recommendations for places to eat in the area and things to do. The hotel is SUPER conveniently located. It took us 13 minutes to get to Northstar in the morning, which is hard to beat. There is a cute local bistro a 3 minute walk which was great for dinner and the Old Post Office Cafe (great breakfast!!) is a 6 minute walk. If you want something fancier, Gar Woods Grill is right across the street. The best part about the hotel is the view. It is right across the street from the lake. We opened the curtains to our room and watched the sun rise over the lake. It was amazing. I'd stay here again, just for that. It is an older hotel and it has not been updated in long time. If you are looking for frills or a fancy hotel room, this is not the place for you. If you want a clean, comfortable room, this is it. My only issue was that the pillows are very flat. Easy solve to either double up or bring your own. The hotel was everything we needed and we will be back.
