My best friend and I stayed here for a concert and it was perfect! The room was super clean and the staff was so helpful and welcoming! We will definitely be back!

Will stay again!

Very dog friendly, which we appreciate. The front desk is helpful. Great location. Easy check in and out. We would have liked some cups in the room and a chair to sit in.

It’s a cute little place! Well updated and accommodating! The bed was a bit softer than my back can stand but otherwise it was a great stay! The location is super convenient and parking was easy. My children enjoyed the pool greatly and I appreciated the contactless check in.
Jenna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked a stay there for a concert I was attending at the outdoor venue basically less than 5 minutes away. Only downfall, was that I noticed spiderwebs near the bathroom sink. Comfy beds though!

If had known the Bluejay was so dirty and had long term Tennants, we would have stayed elsewhere. Expedia's ratings were overrated.

Bin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We truly enjoyed our 2-night stay here with our fur baby! The property offers contactless check-in and check-out, and it’s in a great location—just a 5–10 minute walk to a private beach, restaurants, and more. I accidentally left my wedding band behind and immediately texted their customer service number. A live person responded right away, reached out to their housekeeping team, and quickly confirmed they had found it. Exceptional customer service! Highly recommend this place—we’ll definitely be coming back next year!

Thin walls and not super clean, beds are lumpy. Parking is hard with a big truck, and they want you to clean up after your stay.

Had to wait over an hour in my vehicle for room to be ready. Hotel office closed. Very poor service.

It’s pet friendly, super close to casinos, water, and the heavenly gondola. You’re right in the heart of tourism central for South Lake Tahoe
