Granlibakken Tahoe

Granlibakken Tahoe

10/10 Excellent
"The Granlibakken Tahoe resort had more features than most resorts but without the extra resort fees. All the essentials of a hotel were provided. Staff was attentive to my needs. Recent remodel here give the property a fresh look and feel. Although there are no elevators and most buildings are split level you can park your car in front of most rooms and still have reasonable privacy and view from your room albeit with a few steps. We stayed in the summer and found it comfortable without AC."
