Enjoyed my weekend trip to Tahoe City. The location was great, after a full day out at the lake. Check in was quick, friendly. Once settled in my room walked the strip that has many options for dinner an shopping. Room was comfortable an at night it was very quiet. Check out was very simple with phenomenal service. I will definitely be coming back.

Stayed here last year and it was clean and comfortable and a great location. This year our first night I went to turn the shower on and the handle fell off the wall. They moved us to another room only to learn that our sink had a gnat infestation. The pillows are tiny and flat and the shower head clearly hasn’t been cleaned of hard water build up in the nozzles ever. Shower door handle was loose and we feared it might fall off. Never experienced any issues last year but this year will force us to find another place to stay in the future.

Over priced

The location was good. In walking distance to trail to Lake, restaurants and shops. The room was clean but it is very dated and had an old smell to it. Way over priced!

Pretty basic property. Bathroom sink was not functional and we couldn't brush our teeth or use the sink for handwashing for a day. Front-desk didn't get anything done for the day. Next day, after they a second complaint they fixed while we were out of the room. The heater/AC thermostat was weird and we couldn't get it to function well at all. Please take an extension card along, as the outlets are minimal.

Great location. Dated rooms.

Staff very friendly. Carpet smelled really bad. Not stable water temperature so one of my kids ended up getting burned as he was taking a shower. No vent fan in bathroom so our towels never dried. The shower head sprayed water all over the place. I wish there were some simple soap/shampoo dispensers on the wall of shower. There are no wardrobes or anything other than a closet, so you’ll have to live out of your suitcase, on the floor. AC/heater is super loud, and is next to one of the two beds so whoever sleeps there will wake up super dehydrated. Please give access to the office so we can use the water filter, and install a coffee machine/tea machine. Great location.

We have stayed here before, it is older but great location on the marina, walk to restaurants etc. This time however, the construction on 89 in the middle of the night right outside our window was awful. We will maybe stay again but think we should have been warned.

We booked a last minute room here as we were snowboarding at Palisades. 15 mins away with no traffic (about 25 in the traffic at 4-5pm). The room had a bedroom with a king bed and a sofa in the main room. It just fit my family of 5, but with 2 teens on the sofa pullout and my 9yo daughter in the king bed with us. Overall, it functioned well enough for a great price. It's next door to Safeway, CVS, and many food options, which was convenient when it snowed heavily and didn't want to drive. The Mountain slice pizza (2 minute walk) was 5 star delicious! And the lake was 5 mins walk away with other fancy restaurants nearby. All in all, the inn was a great find! The front office staff Taylor did a great job checking us in (early!) and helped us with everything we needed. She deserves 5 stars!
