One word: disgusting. I question whether they even clean their rooms at all. There was dead bugs, dirt and DUST everywhere. And the toilet was not even screwed down. No hooks for towels. The most ghetto and bare minimum accommodation, not worth the cost. The staff was exceptional, very friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Bed, toilet, sink, floor were clean. Microwave, TV and shower floor were dirty. It appeared like the Microwave and TV are not normally cleaned by housekeeping. Door lock was damaged with screws about to fall out. A/C was new, blew cold air, and was very noisy. Office sign indicated it was open but actually was closed. It was necessary to go to another hotel to check in, which meant no one was available at this property to oversee guests and security.

First time in Tahoe!

It was a great room to stay in south Tahoe. I had to drive a little to get to the downtown area.

Room was nice and very warm. The bathroom was a bit small but it worked . It was very quiet during our stay. No coffee pot or phone in room. They don't serve breakfast, only coffee in the morning in the office and don't want you cooking in the rooms. Big tvs with good channels. Would recommend bringing your own hair conditioner and shampoo.. nice location in the middle of everything of South lake Tahoe.

In order to get to one side of the bed you had to turn sideways and go one leg at a time. The path to the toilet was also VERY narrow. The shower was also quite small. So, think about an RV and you will be very comfortable and happy.

Classic "you get what you paid for" Inn. VERY good location at the bottom of South Lake Tahoe so you are centrally-located to do it all without being in the center of craziness there. Very close to the Lake and Highway 50 and Stateline. You can walk to the Lake from the Inn and take the path along the Lake. Service was very good, rates were very good during October. Room and bed were good, very quiet. Only problem I had was that the wall heater would not continue functioning for 3 days/nights straight, so I woke up in the mornings when the outside temps were in the 30s and the room was about 45-50 degrees, even after their maintenance reps came every day to re-light the furnace.

Room was clean, but the property is obviously old and in need of updating. Mattress very hard and pillows very flat. No A/C, only a very noisy fan. Front desk staff were friendly.
