It was a great room to stay in south Tahoe. I had to drive a little to get to the downtown area.

No ac or comfy bed
Not the most comfortable beds. They have no a/c so they give you fans in each room but those are caked in dust. Pretty gross. That said the staff is accommodating.

Clean but not a good stay
It was clean but the bathroom had dead bugs in the shower and toilet. The bed was garbage, slept in a 4 inch deep pit the mattress was shot. Outdoor lighting was so bright it illuminated the room at night, not conducive to getting a good nights rest.

Room was clean, but the property is obviously old and in need of updating. Mattress very hard and pillows very flat. No A/C, only a very noisy fan. Front desk staff were friendly.
