Shopping, restaurants and casinos are all just a few minutes walk away. You can even walk to a private beach within 15 minutes walk. Good breakfast included with your reservation. I have stayed at the hotel several times and quality has been consistently good.

Very central to everything and walkable. Only downside for my son especially was the WiFi connection wasn’t very good (but only because he’s a gamer). Overall I would stay here again.

We booked a suite with 3 beds for a 1 night stay. Very conveniently located near downtown South Lake Tahoe. Scooters across the street were a bonus for getting around. Breakfast was great, parking was very easy. Clean Rooms.

This property was a very pleasant stay. I was a little apprehensive because my experience staying at the Holiday Inn in Carson City was atrocious but because of the reviews I decided to give it a try. Very glad I did. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the room was clean and comfortable. Not fancy but very nice and the location convenient and walkable to everything.

Enjoyed the location which was walkable to anything up and down the main street blvd. Ease with check-in, parking, room was quiet, beds comfortable, A/C available and working, and bathroom was clean. The issues we had were that the hot tub was not working the day we arrived, and on the following day both the hot tub and pool were closed due to inspections and work being done. We were so disappointed. This was one of three primary amentities we were interested in when booking this property.

Hotel was walking distance to everything. Very convenient location. The room we stayed in smelled like the carpet had gotten wet and never dried. Remotes didn’t work for the TV. We tried to check in early and were told they don’t do that? Breakfasts in the morning were basic but good. We paid a lot of money to stay because of the gold tournament but I would never stay there again.
