This was our second time in tahoe but our first time staying on this side. Found this hotel which was a great deal, it's right near the marina, lake, and other beaches nearby. Variety of food spots and store to shop. Nearby rentals for the water activities. Appreciate the convenience of the location and the staff!

Paid for a room that slept 5 people and didn’t get that room. The first night one of my gals slept on a towel on the floor. When I went to the office the next morning the staff were so nice but unfortunately the room I paid for was not available. We were brought multiple blankets to make a bed on the floor (which was better than a towel). But still, I paid a lot of money for a room and didn’t get what I paid for.
