They were just changing ownership so the place was a but of a mess. The staff was very nice and friendly, but I'm glad I got there early to check in because it took over an hour for them to find my reservation through expedia, and to send me a new link and have me pay via another link.

Went to an event at Harvey’s and opted to stay here because that night a room at Harvey’s was 300. I was very surprised how nice the rooms were for the price. I would definitely stay here again. Everything was updated except the fan/ac unit. When turned on it sounded like there was a motorcycle in the room with us. So we just slept without it and opened the window. It was cool at night. So no big deal. Definitely recommend, it’s very close to the whole strip and there’s a little Mexican restaurant next to it. Very convenient!

Hotel was walking distance to the casinos. Tiny pool, NO HOT TUB. Room was small but cozy. Clean. Heater worked great. Tiny shower, no tub. No counter space in bathroom. Had everything else needed.. refrigerator, microwave, TV, iron & board. Desk with rolling chair. Check in was quick & easy, friendly. No one at front desk several times when needed. Have a beach voucher, was not told by hotel. Would have saved us $50! Overall, was a good stay. My son loved the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

Threatened by management
Such an unfortunate experience. The owner double charged me (seemed to be on purpose) then locked me out of the office when I went to go ask if he could refund the one half. He ignored my calls for 3 weeks until I finally had to file a dispute on my credit card. He left me a voicemail today threatening me because I filed a dispute. His threats will be taken seriously and have already been sent to local police, Hotels.com, and American Express so he can’t be a merchant with them for much longer. His threatening voicemail will be posted on yelp and anywhere else that it can be posted to save others from this scam. Also the hotel was very dirty upon arrival.

Close to casinos, food and shopping. Easy/fast check-in. Parking for small/normal sized vehicles. If you drive a large suv or truck you’ll be parking elsewhere. Some self entitled person found this out after parking a 4x4 camper van that blocked everyone else in the lot. The van was towed away….

Around midnight power went out from what I assume is because of the snow storm. It was about 20 degrees outside and I had no heat all night long or lights. It was freezing. When I approached hotel staff about it they told me it happened to a few hotels on the block. Hotel should have a generator for this types of weather conditions as this is a very regular occurrence in this town. Also they provided no help in the morning when it came to plowing the parking lot. They went over the same spot for hours and when I asked them if they could come plow over by me so I could leave the hotel as I’ve already checked out they told me “when they had a minute”. Well I ended up having to dig myself out

HELLO WE APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES YES THE POWER DID GO OUT AT 3:30 AM BUT YOU HAD NO PROBLEM AT CHECK OUT WHEN YOU CAME TO ASK US TO MOVE THE SNOW, HE WAS ALREDY IN THE MIDDLE OF MOVING SNOW/DIG OUT FOR ANOTHER GUEST, I TOLD YOU AS SOON AS WE ARE DONE, WE WILL COME AND HELP YOU. YOU CHOOSE TO DIG YOURSELF OUT IT IS NOT OUR FAULT. THE ENTIRE HALF OF THE SOUTH TAHOE WAS OUT ON ELECTRICITY IT WAS DUE TO WEATHER CONDITION MAOTHER NATURE IT WAS NOT DUE TO HOTEL THEREFORE WE TRIED AND YOU WERE UNHAPPY FOR US TRYING OUR BEST. THANK YOU, FOR YOUR TIME...

The room was clean, appeared recently upgraded. We were there one night and it was a very convenient walk to Harvey’s outdoor concert venue. The wi-fi code didn’t work and no one in the office answered the front desk phone to get it corrected; front door locked and no one answered the bell - at 10pm. How do late arrivals check in?

The person managing this property was incredibly unkind, unaccommodating and told me to get off the property. This was a last minute booking so I was unable to get a refund. And there was no way I was going to return later in the day. I felt unsafe! Over $200 lost. Take your money and spend it at one of the many other properties in the area where the staff are considerate, understanding, and actually hospitable. This person should not be in the hospitality business.
