    Cozy vibes and good times!

    What a stay! The front staff was super nice and chill. The sauna was a treat, and the balcony tub while it snowed? Just wow! Loved the comfy bed and heated bathroom floors. Plus, the kitchen setup made snacking easy. Only bummer was parking was a bit tight sometimes.

    Amazing Stay with Stunning Amenities!

    A memorable getaway in a King Studio with a balcony tub! The attentive staff quickly answered all my questions. Enjoyed the private beach access and the sauna. Don’t miss trying out the complimentary bicycles to explore the area. Remember to stock up on extra tea early!

    outdoor pool area
    super comfy bed
    static tv noise

    The room was stunning with a super comfy bed and those heated floors were such a nice touch! I loved relaxing by the outdoor pool area and soaking in the jacuzzi after a long day. Just a heads up, the TV had some static when I turned up the volume, but it didn’t spoil my time at all! 🍷

    spacious room
    cozy atmosphere
    missing coffee maker
    missing iron
    inconvenient coffee setup

    The King Studio with Sofa Bed was beautifully designed and spacious, making our stay enjoyable. However, the lack of basic amenities like an iron and a coffee maker was inconvenient, and we experienced issues with the coffee-making setup. This hotel is great for couples looking for a cozy getaway but could benefit from attention to detail in room amenities.

    Just a great fit for a city break in South Lake Tahoe with all in all brilliant value for money. The staff were helpful when the gym temperature was way too high. they fixed it quickly. Check the restaurant before deciding to eat. the food quality was hit or miss.
