The AC unit was messed up. I think it has a bad bearing. The entire room shakes when it goes on. A bonus vibrating bed but with no control over it! I was woken up by the shaking a dozen times. Tahoe City is up in the mountains and the blankets were not substantial, so the heater was essential. Sleep or warm were the options here, but not both unfortunately.

Coffee in lobby only had chemical creamers
( really?)
Side area with two chairs had trash the whole time all over the ground. Other than that it’s a decent place to stay.

Nice remodeled no-frillls motel, with the whole “base camp” outdoorsy theme going. The lobby is sort of set up like a mini lodge with beer and wine for sale and big leather couches and a fireplace. Location is across the street from dining, grocery, and Lake Tahoe. No coffee or coffeemaker in the room, which was strange. Coffee in the lobby but it doesn’t open until 8:00 am.

Decent hotel. Good location.
The room was nice & comfy, but small.
and bed was comfy also.
No coffee maker. But an electric tea kettle. Disappointed there wasnt a bath tub, just a small shower.
I had called and asked for a late (noon) check-out before i arrived, which was approved. Typical check out is 11am. Was annoying when the maid knocked on my door at 11am, and used her key to enter my room, when I was sleeping. I told her i had arranged a late check out- at noon. Then 30 mins later, she bangs on my door again! So i AGAIN told her, i had arranged a late check-out, at noon..!
Wish the staff would pay more attention and communicate with eachother..

We checked in were warmly greeted by Johnny. He was so nice and friendly told us about things that were going on and a great breakfast place called Duffs Diner which was absolutely delicious
