Everything was great. Only thing that needs fixing is the shower head. It is set so it shoots past the tub onto floor. You have to hold the handle off wall mount so it doesn’t get water everywhere

Enjoyed my weekend trip to Tahoe City. The location was great, after a full day out at the lake. Check in was quick, friendly. Once settled in my room walked the strip that has many options for dinner an shopping. Room was comfortable an at night it was very quiet. Check out was very simple with phenomenal service. I will definitely be coming back.

Over priced

The location was good. In walking distance to trail to Lake, restaurants and shops. The room was clean but it is very dated and had an old smell to it. Way over priced!

Evette at the desk was great! The property is super cute and we were very happy with our room. Walking distance to so much good stuff. Microwave & mini fridge was very convenient. The dark horse coffee provided in the room in the AM was so delicious. Bummed that our room didn’t have a separate shower from the heart shaped tub, I totally thought it would. Nonetheless great trip, will recommend.
