Check in guy was friendly, but this is a rundown motel. It could easily be improved to make it a better guest experience. The mattresses need to be replaced as they were thin and umcomfortable. With a small amount of money, this place could be so much better.

The property is pretty old but things are still functional. There is a 7-11 right next to it and access to a beautiful beach across the road.

room was prefect for what I needed. Quick trip to the lake, quick check in and out. Room was clean, tile floor, outdated bathroom (whatever it’s fine)
Thank you

The carpet was filthy. The room smelled like cat urine. Needed to open the windows to dissapate the smell. The tv required 2 remotes to work. The picture shown does not represent the shape this motel is in. I would not recommend this place for the price paid or the experience.

I wish I had paid better attention to reviews before I made this reservation. The shag carpeting had a bad mildew smell. Room was unuseable. My girlfriend said she would rather be homeless than sleep here. This Motel should not be made available on your site. It gives your app a big black eye.

Location!
4.0 / 5.0
Overall, we had a good experience here. The lodge is strategically located in Carnelian Bay, where we could have a beautiful view of Tahoe just with a 5 minutes walk. There were also convenient store and laundry nearby. The only downside was the slight smell of the old property, and the place could feel quite stuffy in summer.

The location was convenient for our needs..I do think the rooms need an upgrade..seem out of date... Beds were comfortable though...

Rather retro, but the owner is super friendly. He met us when we arrived. The room is old but has everything we need. Lake Tahoe beach and an upscale restaurant are right across the street.

This property is not upscale but my stay was fine. Room was clean, hot water hot, and mattress acceptable. It was substantially less expensive than anything near it. It is at a busy intersection for near lake front property so there was some road noise during the night, but the place was better than I expected and much better than I feared it could have been.

Surprising comfortable bed

Dated property, could use some TLC, but that’s common in Tahoe. Parking was a squeeze. Host was helpful and checking was efficient. The room was quiet but nothing fancy. Fine for our one-night stay.

Expedia, you shoukd be ashamed to represent this dump. I arrived to check in and office was closed. I called emergency # and left a message. 45 minutes later i xalled again and left a message. Neither call was returned. Drove back to property and owner said " sorry i was skiing".
My room was disgustingly filthy. I can forward pic's. All furniture dated, holes in sheets, kitchen area was filthy, no outlets to charge phone near bed and shower pan was cracked with obvious mold issues.
I have stayed in tbird world countries with cleaner rooms. I slept a few hours with my clothes on as afraid to touch anything and departed before the sun came up as my asthma had me coughing from the lack of common cleanliness!
The only reason this motel recieved 1 star is that the water was hot and although there was no face towel the bath towel was clean and fresh!.

My family and I stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Northstar and it was everything we needed. The room was very clean and much larger than I thought it would be. The beds had a ton of blankets, with extras available "just in case". The heater worked amazing and the in-room coffee was offered in actual coffee cups, which was a pleasant surprise. The wifi was strong and free.
Ed at the front desk was friendly, prompt and he had great recommendations for places to eat in the area and things to do. The hotel is SUPER conveniently located. It took us 13 minutes to get to Northstar in the morning, which is hard to beat. There is a cute local bistro a 3 minute walk which was great for dinner and the Old Post Office Cafe (great breakfast!!) is a 6 minute walk. If you want something fancier, Gar Woods Grill is right across the street.
The best part about the hotel is the view. It is right across the street from the lake. We opened the curtains to our room and watched the sun rise over the lake. It was amazing. I'd stay here again, just for that.
It is an older hotel and it has not been updated in long time. If you are looking for frills or a fancy hotel room, this is not the place for you. If you want a clean, comfortable room, this is it. My only issue was that the pillows are very flat. Easy solve to either double up or bring your own.
The hotel was everything we needed and we will be back.

Absent ANY service, it is a Very old and poorly kept up establishment not at all worth what they are charging. The beds were extremely worn out and uncomfortable. The carpet in the room was disgusting and the trash cans had very old stains and even torn. What a joke.

Great location for a stay with our dog. Right across the street from a dog friendly park where she could swim. Nice amenities. Large space making it comfortable to have our dog. Older property that with some attention, deep cleaning, and care could be a real stellar place. Loved the shower. Bed, which wasn’t very comfortable, had a plastic bag under sheets which was annoying every time we moved around—most likely to protect from pets. Extensions to the plug behind the bed could make it easier to charge devices. Great potential! Bargain price. We’d stay again.

The motel is older, and definitely "no-frills" but the rooms are very large and relatively affordable. Though decor is dated, room/bathroom/sheets were all very clean. I would consider it a good "crash-pad" for those focused on other activities and just need a spot for the night.

We never had hot water in the shower or sink. It never got better than luke warm!

The owner was really helpful and accommodating to an early check in. Rooms were clean. The building is old but overall it was great at the price point.

The picture in the add is deceiving It may have looked like that when it was first built.
The room was tidy but dingy.
The bed linens were clean but mismatched.
The toilet wobbled and the toilet seat was worn. The shower pan was filthy. The baseboards and caulking around the sink looks like it was applied by someone inexperienced.
I didn’t/wouldn’t use the kitchen area. It just did not not look sanitary. There was an old sponge on the back of the sink and the coffeemaker was stained.
The place did not look like it had been upgraded since the 1950’s.
I would not stay here again.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Handle on the toilet fell off. Had to remove lid and stick hand in disgusting tank. The shower was rusted and didn’t look particularly clean. No showers for us. We could hardly wait to leave the next morning. It was cheap, but I will gladly pay more to stay in a decent place.
