There were ants all over the kitchen area. Found mouse feces in the beds. Pool was like a swamp with two by fours floating in it. Ice machine was nonfunctional and has mold inside. Hot tub was nonfunctional. Advertised game room/arcade was just a ping pong table and room was riddled with trash.

It was an easy check in and nice area to stay. Close to the beach and easy access for skiing. The hotel is very old and quite run down. The cleanliness could definitely be better. Our bedding had a decent amount of hair in it.

thank you so much for your input. we will pass it to house keeper. if you had a problem you should tell us but you never did.. I am sure what you mean rundown. Every thing is working and floor and all appliances were updated.

The property's location is great: very quiet and safe and next to beach. I booked a double bed room and got a room with an upper loft, and there are totally four beds in the unit. The owner is super nice and professional.

This place is so gross and ran down. We got into bed and turned the light on and realized all the sheets pillows were covered in blood. So freaking disgusting! So we got moved to another room that was dirty and falling apart but being New Year’s Eve no other hotels had any rooms available so we were stuck there. They also refused to refund me my money even though we laid on a bunch of bloody sheets! Don’t stay here!

Last minute so not much availability in the area. This place is very outdated. Dark room with old everything. Lumpy bed with thin bedding. Unpleasant looking bathroom. Air vent not clean. Trash leftover from previous guests so I wonder what else is not cleaned

You should take this place offline. We’ve got a room which was smelly all over the place. We also had black must in the shower and black dirt in and on the toilette. The pillows, sheets and blankets were covered with yellow spots and smell very bad. We’ve had to cover the bed with towels to lie on the bed. And there was no heater and this place was freezing. We decided to leave in the middle of the night because we could not make it through the freezing and disgusting conditions. Around this place were a lot of trash and the pool area(even if it was closed) was absolute nasty. We would like to have our money back because that was an imposition ! Pictures are made. We have slept in a few “2 star places” in the last week during our road trip and even for half of the price the places were at least clean and warm. This place deserves not even 1 star! Absolute no recommendation.

thank you. i am sorry but you are not telling the truth. we have nice clean room and linen. you did not leave middle of nights you left around 6 am .everything works in the room. not stain on lines and you used all towels and took shower. you check in around 2 pm and i told you if you need anything please let me know. pool area was clean it was not even cold weather. If were not happy than you would check out right away. you should be honest. we did check room after you left and nothing found stain or dirty stain. .

Perfect little getaway
This was exactly what we were expecting for our stay on the north shore. The room was adequate and had all we needed. Yes, it could be updated, but our plan wasn't to stay in the room other than to rest and sleep. It's proximity to Incline and Tahoe City was great and we were able to walk down to the lake to enjoy the sunset.

I'm opting out of this question because expressing myself to an unknown audience, of unknown size, after every purchase, seems to erode my sense of give and take in the real-world community. In other words, I'm being asked training the AI which will soon replace me.

This was very run down. There was construction on the side of my bedroom at 6:45 in the morning! The pool had no water in it so we couldn't go swimming. The whole property was dilapidated

thank you. nothing is true on your statement. The construction did not even starts until 7:45 am . second if room was so bad why did you stayed 2 nights. I also gave you choice that if want to check out early we will refund second night. Also you were rude and we did not even charge to pet fees. We are blocking you .We has guest is same room last night. They were very happy.
