This is one of our go to's for enjoying Tahoe City. Clean spacious rooms. Reasonably priced and in a good location. No real amenities like spa or pool but not needed over an overnighter. We will stay here again in 2 weeks.

We loved our stay at Basecamp in Tahoe City. We loved the theme of exploring. Our room was very clean and the property has been well maintained. My only complaint was that the shower could use some maintenance. It was totally usable, but could use some maintenance. The staff was very accommodating and welcoming. We would totally stay here again.

I had a great stay. The staff is friendly and attentive. The lobby is comfortable and pretty quiet. Which is great if you’re looking for a work space outside of your room. Plus there’s beer on tap. My room was clean, stocked, and spacious enough for two. Location is great. It’s in a beautiful lake town.
