“Cheap but effective”

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on a snowboarding trip with friends. This was my second time at Tahoe Queen Motel and I would not hesitate to book again. I honestly believe that this place is under rated. The location is unbelievable, it is steps from casinos and heavenly gondola. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The beds provided good rest. I stayed in many one star hotels around the country and this is by far one of the best. The hotel manager was friendly and happily upgraded my room. My only complaint is that the hot water runs out fast, other than that it was great. As long as you don't expect 10 different soaps in the bathroom, LCD TV, and chocolates on your pillow you will be satisfied. If you are looking for a place to crash at the end of the day, this place exceeds expectations. Don't book if you expect a fancy shmancy accommodations.

“Unexpectedly Good!”

Ok, its not one of your high roller places, but I was very happy with how clean the room was. Its not exciting or up to date, but the carpets were clean, the towels wre clean and the sheets were clean. The guy at the front desk was accomodating and the pool looked clean, too. It was kind of noisy the first night, just from general outside noise, but the second night was very quiet. Its also very close to the casinos, etc... Like I said, not a swank joint, but I'll be back.

“At least it was clean”

The room was clean, but the motel is a typical budget motel. It is older and hasn't been remodeled. If you're looking for a place to sleep that is clean, then this place works.

“Not to bad”

This motel is a 70s throw back. It looks like a re-run of the Brady Bunch inside, but its clean and warm.

“Cheesy, Cheap & Fantastic”

This hotel is wonderful. It is right out of the early 70's complete with a vibrating bed (15 min for a quarter!!!). It is a one star hotel and the extent of the amenities is a bar of soap, preemptive warning. The staff is really nice and the location is unbelievable. If you don't need all the extra blahs at a hotel and are looking for a place to stay for a great price with great service this is the place.

“casino's near by.”

not a great motel hard beds but for just sleeping can't beat the price and so close to everything, beautiful walk, close to lake tahoe, casino's, shopping...ect...

“Total Disappointment”

I understand this is a one star motel, but seriously, nothing has been changed/improved/replaced since the motel was first established, which I'm guessing was in the early 70s. My friends felt unsafe leaving anything in the room when we weren't there because the only lock was the little circle button that you push on the side of the door knob. Plus the windows didn't have locks. The first room we were given had not been cleaned. For the amount of money we paid, there seemed to be a lot of other reasonable options in the same area that were a lot cleaner and more inviting and comfortable. The one cool thing was that one of the beds was a vibrating bed, but it took an hour for it to start after we put the quarter in....

“Not impressed”

What I liked about this motel was that staff were very friendly and helpful. What I did not like were: 1-Old furniture, Dust everywhere. 2-Dirty carpets. 3-No air condition. 4-Cheap towels and no shampoo. 5- Was not feeling safe at nights leaving the windows open. 6-First night, at 3 am someone was just walking on the porch and passed our room 3 times, browsing through windows.

“Good rates, but you get what you pay for here...”

The rates were good, particularly for a weekend stay. But the room left a little to be desired. TV with terrible sound and no remote. Box fan for ventilation and no AC. No lock on front window, or screen on rear window, but bugs weren't an issue. On the plus side, the sheets were clean. Nice looking pool outside. Maid was helpful and friendly. Will try other options before returning, but wouldn't rule it out.

“Tahoe Queen -> Slave”

This place is terrible. Very low budget amenities. Looks like a place out of the 1940s.
