Staff was so so nice! Really lovely front desk experience. We just needed an easy place for a night for a kids lesson at Heavenly and also dog friendly. This worked for that and I wasn’t expecting anything fabulous. I just needed basic, clean and convenient. It was a quick walk to Heavenly, parking was easy. It served its purpose and priced appropriately for what it provided.

Decent hotel for a decent price! The hotel had somewhat of a rustic cottage vibe to it, which was pretty fitting given that we're in Lake Tahoe. It was a great walking distance to the shops at Heavenly Village, so that was amazing.
