Always feel comfortable and safe. It is my go-to lodging in South Lake Tahoe. Reasonably priced for a very convenient location to dining, grocery, gas, ski resorts.

Check in was quick and easy for 2 rooms next to each other. Our rooms were spacious and having lots of counter apace was very convenient. Parking was easy, even for a very large Suburban, and 2 large fans were provided as the temperature was very warm, but we stayed comfortable with these.
