PRO: Walkable from both the lake & ski resort. Bonus free breakfast. Breakfast was delish. Free parking so you don't have to pay $5 to park in Homewood. Has a nice dock/patio in the back for lake access. Convenience store is also walkable. Nice receptionist/workers. Clean & well-stocked rooms. Has an abundance of pillows even inside the closet. Has fridge & TV.

Location across from Homewood.
This was a last-minute family trip planned during the New Years weekend as Tahoe got tons of snow but driving conditions were not possible except for the few days so we came up. The price of this McKinney suite was expensive which I can understand given the holiday and last minute weekend trip plan. Husband and I got a bedroom w/ en suite bathroom to ourselves while our two boys were out in the living room on a sofa bed that was terribly uncomfortable. Overall The accommodations were good as it’s large, had 2 fireplaces and a balcony which I used to keep perishables there rather than the tiny refrigerator provided. We had decided on going to the New Year’s Eve masquerade murder mystery show and dinner advertised which was $159/PP and the dinner was off the regular menu which we had the night before. Food was decent but should have been different given the holiday. The show was the worst performance we had ever seen. First the evening started at 8pm but forever to get started but then it just went from Bad to worse—we left after the meal. There were no decorations or props in the restaurant which looks quite plain everyday and the performance didn’t have anything to do with a masquerade theme so why is it in the description? The staff at West Shore were very nice and friendly, that is their strength, the location across from Homewood was so convenient and the Lake on the other side. We were able to go nearby to do sledding one of the days.

Incredible gem on the West Shore
We were so impressed with this place..a huge shout out to Connor, the manager, and his staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible stay. Worth the price and you are right on the beach. Also much more private and quaint than Sunnyside. We will be back!

Old fashioned elegance
The staff is very accommodating and very helpful. The McKinley suite is pretty, but lacking in comfort because they took away the coffee maker and microwave oven.

We absolutely loved our stay! They were super clean and sensitive to covid throughout the entire process (checkin, hallways, room cleanliness, continental breakfast was room service every day without charge) and the staff were so friendly! Beautiful spot and great food!

The absolute best
Staying at West Shore was one of the best experiences. My boyfriend and I travel frequently and were extremely impressed with everything about this place. The people were extremely friendly, the food from the restaurant was amazing, the drinks from the bar were 10/10. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing getaway. You also get breakfast delivered to your door every morning with a full coffee bar right outside the rooms. Thank you for making our stay even better than expected! Can't wait to be back.

Mostly Excellent
Great room and location. Beautiful building and terrific new mattress in the Marlette Peak Suite. However the wear and tear of use and time are starting to show. They also started a new policy of completing a card stating what you would like for breakfast and when. There are only six rooms and last year this extra step wasn’t necessary. If anything the breakfast is below par for this establishment and not compatible with the cost to stay here.

Beautiful inn and location. We were there in their off season when the restaurant and bar are closed. If we go back, it will definitely be more fun during summer.
