The Desolation Hotel is sublime! It lived up my expectations after a lot of research on the best places to stay in Lake Tahoe and based on all the expert reviews that I had read in advance. Amazing attention to detail across all aspects of the property and the wonderful friendly staff made this a great place to stay. The room aesthetics are fantastic, Maggie’s restaurant is top notch for either a delicious cocktail or a sumptuous meal, and the pool and spa area with the fire pits and the chill vibes were the perfect spot to relax after a day on the slopes. My wife I travelled from Australia to ski in Tahoe. We have travelled all around the world. So glad we chose to stay at Desolation Hotel!

Nothing! Desolation Hotel and their staff are awesome! We arrived late at night due to our flights being delayed, but despite reception being closed, the hotel kept in touch with us and made sure we could access our room without and problems. The service was exceptional.

the outside bath tub w/ heater was wonderful.

the shower head pressure could be better.

Townhouse type. 1st floor garage, 2nd floor living room with small kitchen, half bathroom 3rd floor bedroom So no noise from other rooms

It is not clean, especially after the cleaning. I overheard complaints from next door about lots of hair on the bed asking change the sheets. Shower was Clogged.

Everything in this place is perfect! The rooms are super comfortable, great location, staff, amenities! We loved it and will absolutely come back!!! Complete kitchenete, top electrodomestics! Great place

The location is close to casinos and the lake but it’s not in a great neighborhood.

My room was beautiful but my view out my balcony was an apartment building that had kids screaming outside until midnight. They have a tub on the balcony which would be fun to use if there was privacy. They have townhomes which might be quieter than the motel side.

Maggie's was amazing. Had dinner and breakfast, both were delicious!

N/A

Boutique hotel and not a busy big hotel.

We ate at Maggie’s and the food and drinks were wonderful. Elaina I believe is her name was excellent and made the experience that much better!!
