Nice place overall. No ice machine and the pool has no water. Shower is beyond tiny and has a not stating to run it for a while as it takes time to get hot. After 20 minutes it was still only room temp. and could not be adjusted.

Worst place to stay in Tahoe
The mattress has broken springs, the door was already unlocked when we arrived. The heater was broken and the room smaller than advertised. The staff who checked us in was grumpy. I can go on and on

They could do SO much better…
Old squeaky bed, crappy sheets, pillows and towels. You get what you pay for so there is no point in going on.

2/10 Poor

The worst place I’ve stayed on a vacation ever!!! No housekeeping, the room is too small, I can ever hear the people next door talking and snoring at midnight. They didn’t change linens, the bulbs are not working, the electric fan was too noisy to use, if you are tall and big you won’t fit it the shower. Terrible terrible place!!!!

2/10 Poor

Not worth it
I didn’t expect much going into it as I knew it was a lower rate, but it was probably the worst room we have stayed in. Our non-smoking room smelt so heavily of smoke and some sort of fragrance spray they had tried to use to cover the smell. All of our allergies were out of control the entire weekend when we were in the room because of that so we were miserable. There were spiders in every corner of the room, including the shower. The shower needed a good scrubbing as you could see mildew build up on corners, no ac in the room and all the screens were either broken or there weren’t one. No counter spaces. Luckily we had no plans to use the pool as it was empty with only about a foot of black water left in it. During check in no one was there and was advised to lift the tissue box and to grab a certain card # but all the other cards also under the tissue box displayed room #s and the codes to enter those rooms so not the most safe way to go about. Would not recommend to anyone.
