    Any drywall repairs were sloppily done. As with many of the cheaper hotels in the area, if you can find an outlet that will actually hold you phone charger brick you will be lucky. Outlets really are simple and cheap to replace. I was on the second floor in 219 and everything someone walked by the floor would move in the room, as if on a water bed. I got the impression there is a structural issue going on. The parking lot looks as if it has never been replaced and the lobby is useless except to check in at the exact hours they let you. 4pm. It is not staffed normally. I don't reccomend staying here unless you have no standards as to a well maintained business.. At least the bed linen seemed clean and the toilet sink and shower were clean too.

    Last minute booking , very bare bones. But clean don’t expect anything luxurious or aesthetically pleasing, Bathroom has bunch of patch work done and there was a hole in the bathroom door. Bed was comfy but def gave the “motel vibes”. Was there less than 24 hours just needed somewhere to sleep until we met up w/ friends. Def just an “okay” place nowhere I would book again on purpose. Young man w/ braces at check in incredibly sweet and helpful but the property itself is outdated. Meh experience.

    The location Pictures of property need to be updated. Place looks run down. Shower drain was backed up. Carpet was dirty. My 1 year old son feet got black right away, regret removing his socks.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Shower and bathroom windows were covered in mold, floor in the room was cut up and sticky, one of the light bulbs in the room was broken whole room was dark with lights on and there was no accessible power outlets to charge devices

    The air conditiong was not so great . It didn't cool the room down

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location only The room was in terrible condition, in desperate need of a remodel .

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room Was clean, the internet was good, there was a fridge and microwave. The beach is close and free.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room just looked ran down, the carpet was dirty inside the room and the hallway. Overall, it just needs an update are someone to clean it better. And all that trash in the back needs to be removed as your looking out the window. That's not how you run a business. The room that we were staying in there was a picture hanging over the bed with a dead cockroach in unacceptable.

    Bad

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was one of the cheapest rooms I found available on Expedia, so I didn’t expect anything great. The bed was not great at all, and there were stains on the floor, a little ghetto patched holes in the wall. During the night people partied until 3am next door to me, wasn’t great, but I got my rest, and a shower, and left the next morning. The Expedia app said that check-in is 24 hours, and what they mean is when you show up at 9 PM., and nobody is in the office, you’re told to call phone number from a piece of paper taped on the window to which I did but nobody answered after a few calls, but then you see someone walk out from the room a few doors down to meet you. It’s kind of odd. But when the young man met me, he was very kind and gave me the keys and welcomed me. Overall, if you just want a place to sleep and shower, and want to pay a cheap rate, and you don’t mind the lower quality hotel, this is it. AC works, tv worked, and a few plug outlets, so if you have family, bring an extension cord for all.

    Simple hotel that met expectations. Appreciated the fridge in the room. Location is right next to an awesome pancake house - Heidi’s - perfect since the hotel does not provide breakfast.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was gross, smelled bad, and the floor was sticky and dirty. We stayed for four days and never saw housekeeping (no clean towels/washcloths until we called the desk), and they gave us two paper coffee cups to last two adults five mornings. The outlets are a fire hazard (we had to request an extension cord to keep the fridge on.) There are many nicer hotels nearby. Choose one of them.

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    DO NOT STAY HERE! (My personal experience) No one was there and had to use ring camera to check in. Keys to rooms were available without any security (basically out in the open for anyone to grab). First room had residue where soaps are located (second did too). Blood on sheets. Was relocated using other keys located on entrance. It was even worse. It was a non refundable. Blood on pillow case, coffee straws and trash on floor. Complained all for nothing, she said they were clean and stains would not transfer. Second room didn’t have top sheet. Worst experience of my life at a hotel. Everything was expressed to host and she said this is what we have and brushed it off.

    Location was the only good thing. Loud, could hear everyone in other rooms. Ceiling was pealing, not enough towels, no closet or anyway to hang clothes, hair in bathroom corner, did not feel safe.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything in particular that I liked about the property I was disappointed with the overall condition of the property. It appeared run-down and poorly maintained, and several areas were dirty. The environment was also very noisy, with frequent yelling, children running around, and dogs barking. Overall, the property did not feel clean, quiet, or well maintained.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It’s a cheap room no cleaning not even taking out trash or clean towels. Office is empty most of the day. Bathroom ceiling leaks when the other room upstairs showers.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The only good things about the hotel, the guy working the front desk was nice enough, the towels were clean and the A/C worked well enough despite being from the 80s. Overall I didn’t visit Tahoe for the hotel, however, for over $200 a night the condition is unacceptable.
