The carpet was filthy. The room smelled like cat urine. Needed to open the windows to dissapate the smell. The tv required 2 remotes to work. The picture shown does not represent the shape this motel is in. I would not recommend this place for the price paid or the experience.

I wish I had paid better attention to reviews before I made this reservation. The shag carpeting had a bad mildew smell. Room was unuseable. My girlfriend said she would rather be homeless than sleep here. This Motel should not be made available on your site. It gives your app a big black eye.

Overall, we had a good experience here. The lodge is strategically located in Carnelian Bay, where we could have a beautiful view of Tahoe just with a 5 minutes walk. There were also convenient store and laundry nearby. The only downside was the slight smell of the old property, and the place could feel quite stuffy in summer.

First time in Tahoe
Rather retro, but the owner is super friendly. He met us when we arrived. The room is old but has everything we need. Lake Tahoe beach and an upscale restaurant are right across the street.

This property is not upscale but my stay was fine. Room was clean, hot water hot, and mattress acceptable. It was substantially less expensive than anything near it. It is at a busy intersection for near lake front property so there was some road noise during the night, but the place was better than I expected and much better than I feared it could have been.

Dated property, could use some TLC, but that’s common in Tahoe. Parking was a squeeze. Host was helpful and checking was efficient. The room was quiet but nothing fancy. Fine for our one-night stay.
