South Lake Tahoe Spa hotels in Lake Tahoe, California

I took my 10 year old daughter up to Lake Tahoe to ski at Heavenly during the middle of the week. It had just snowed and the ski conditions were perfect. We got a reasonable off-peak season rate at Harrah's, which I have stayed at in the past and had favorable memories of. Besides the casino, which naturally smells like stale cigarette smoke, there is a huge video arcade downstairs and an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi available to hotel guests. Also, there are a number of restaurants on the premises. We walked through the casino to eat dinner at Cabo Wabo Cantina, located through an indoor passageway in Harvey's across the street. We enjoyed our meal. As for the room, it was very nicely made up, and had two bathrooms with marble tile and counter tops. The elevators were very fast and impressive. The facility was well maintained, if slightly older, but no matter. The bell desk took our skis and bags up to our room and down again. We walked 7 minutes to the gondola at Heavenly. It is a pretty easy walk but you wouldn't want to wear ski boots the whole way. We wore street shoes and carried our gear. I would recommend taking the gondola up to the top before putting your gear on, and then renting a locker at the upper lodge. This way you would have access to it if you needed an extra layer or wanted to drop a layer midday. The lockers are $10 per day. The trip was a bit pricey, but welcome to Heavenly, where nothing is cheap, but it is probably the best resort in Tahoe.

It was good, so much fun, and I will recommend it to friends! See you all soon (;

We enjoyed our time our stay at Ridge Pointe and plan to stay there again.

The room was wonderful with a fully equipped kitchen. A beautiful view of Lake Tahoe from the balcony.

We love staying at the Ridge! Every time we've stayed we have received an upgrade for being expedia elite members. Instead of having a lovely hotel room, we've had a one bedroom suite each time. The hotel staff is friendly, efficient and very helpful. After a trip to the hot tub, our room keys were deactivated somehow. We called from a hallway phone and instead of having to return to the hotel lobby area in another building (in 30 weather), they sent security over for us. The only downside was the dryness of the air in the room, which made for an uncomfortable night's sleep, however I think that is just the area in general.

I rented skis there to ski at Heavenly. Very good prices all along, and bkfast special and dinner special were fine with low prices, when one got a casino card. We don't gamble but enjoyed everything about this place.

I don't normally write reviews, but his place really deserves it. Without being long winded, I will just say the place is perfect in every aspect. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Bed caved inwards, very uncomfortable. Poor quality pillows. Very few amenities. NO ROOM SERVICE, at all. We called front desk to inquire about room service and the rep advised there was none and to walk to the grocery store to buy items to eat there. (Unfriendly rep on that call) we ended up checking out at 4am due to inability to sleep on bad bed.
