DOG FRIENDLY. Star!
Great location! Close to everything. Walking distance to casino. 5 minutes, if that. Star!
Super clean, spacious, cozy rooms! The beds... Oh, how nice. Like a cloud. Star!
Decor is rustic with a modern twist. Our room had a fan. Awesome for pushing warm air down. Bathroom had a built-in heater and extremely clean! First thing I noticed was the floor. Wow, was it shiny. The whole bathroom was perfectly kept. Even the showerhead and water pressure was perfect. The toilet was even comfortable. Yeah, I said it. Have a seat! For that alone... star!
The resort altogether was 10 times more than I ever expected based on the price paid. I kept looking for the catch. There had to be something I was missing. There was. The fact that a property could truly live up to its promise without costing an arm and your first born child.
As we drove up, the sign had a big dog with board shorts on. That really tells a visitor that when they say dog-friendly, they mean business. The buildings were in pristine condition. No signs of wear and tear. A natural fit with the trees. Waste disposal stations were everywhere. Each room had a doormat with the company logo. Very quiet place. Lots of room to walk the dog.
Convenience. My goodness. I've stayed in convenient locations before, but this one offered more because it's dog friendly. That's extremely important. The property is a few minutes walk to the Heavenly Gondola. No joke. I stepped out of the room and looked down the street. Even I didn't recognize the gondola since I've never seen it from that view before.
I could rave about 3 Peaks Resort and Beach Club for days! I'm extremely satisfied with our visit. So many great things to say, but I'm sure you get the point. There's a doggy daycare place less than 5 minutes away that offers a frequent visitor punchcard. $18 for day care (each day) vs. the standard rate. Good deal! They are awesome! Drop off the dog, ski/snowboard for the day, then pick up your buddy. Win-win! Star!
I'd give this place more stars. We'll definitely be back. In fact, we already made reservations :-). -

I think this place is great. My fiance and I stay here when we make our way up to Tahoe. It's super affordable and close to Heavenly.
Minus one star for up-keep. Once our shower head fell off (it was fixed immediately, prompt service!) and the water doesn't stay hot for a long time. Nothing that wouldn't make me go back! I wouldn't call this a complaint - just a mental note.
This is my go to place during ski season. -

Really fantastic spot! I stayed with a group of friends here over New Year's, and it was exactly what we were looking for. Clean clean rooms, comfortable beds, fantastic location walkable to Heavenly and Stateline. Both the double-bed and king rooms had plenty of space and a mini-fridge for New Year's champagne...and the studio suite had a great hang-out area with a couch and counter that was perfect for playing cards and having cocktails with our whole group.
The office is open for check-in until 11:00, but call ahead if you think you'll get there past 10, because they tend to close up shop early. Still, the staff was super friendly and accommodating.
Great spot, great weekend! -

I can't say enough good things about this resort, beautiful affordable and cozy! The best part of the experience was the friendly staff by far! Wendy was our front desk clerk and our most helpful tour guide whom recommended resturants and fun things to do in the area I will definitely be staying here every time I come to south lake! Thanks Wendy!!!

Overall, a great value and very comfortable. Stayed in a king suite with kitchenette and fireplace. It was roughly $325 for two nights with tax during the high season. I booked at http://hotels.com about a week before the trip. In a nutshell:
++++++++
- great location to casinos, heavenly and shopping
- the best community spa I am been to yet. It is a big, split level spa with cascading waterfall. The greatest part is because of the noise due to the waterfall, you cant hear everyones conversations (and it is open late)
- high ceilings in the room make it feel open, large and airy
- kitchen was well stocked with blender, toaster, micro, pots/pans, etc. Everything was clean and new.
- hotel staff was very nice
- - - - - - - - -
- walls are a bit thin but only if your neighbor is excessively loud. (I called down to the front desk and they promptly stopped it)
- the shower fixtures need to be replaced as they are old and I had to have my boyfriend pull the knob to start and push it back in to stop because I wasn't strong enough.
- the sheets were extra crispy and smelled of bleach
- I get that this is Tahoe and that reusing towels is encouraged but more than 2 small bath towels for two people would have been nice.
All in all, I would absolutely go back. -

-Walking distance to Heavenly/shops/restaurants
-Nice and friendly staff
-Cozy (almost everything in the room is made out of wood!)
-Clean
-Close parking spots
-Refrigerator included with room
Will definitely stay here, again!
*We checked in at 1am (after working hours) once, but they had a process in place for us late birds. Thumbs up! -

My partner and I spent last weekend in South Lake Tahoe at the 3 Peaks Resort and it was a wonderful expereince! This trip was planned about a week in advance and we had trouble finding a hotel that was of good quality and within our price range. Sadly, most of the South Lake 'hotels' are really run down motels - and that's just not my scene.
We paid about $120 with tax for one night in the pool-side suite. I honestly can't say enough good things about this room. The decor was way better than expected! Super modern wall paper, bedding, and furniture (though there was certainly some 'Tahoe style' mixed in like a pine toilet roll holder. The room itself had a big flat screen, a mini fridge, a HUGE sexy shower, a jacuzzi tub in the room itself, and a sliding glass door that opened up into the pool area. If you didn't know it, 3 Peaks has a ridiculous jacuzzi - it's as big as a pool and has two levels. Aside from a small family on the lower level, we had the giant jacuzzi to ourselves! The king size bed is crazy comfortable, as are the pillows - we had a hard time getting out of bed!
Check-in was easy, we parked in front of our room, it was an easy two block walk to the beach, about 1/2 a mile to state line - maybe less, and overall we had a great stay. We will for sure be back! -

Extremely friendly staff. Upon arrival we were greeted by Brian. He was a super nice guy and helped make our stay extremely comfortable. We reserved a pool side king bed. The room looked outstanding.
There was a jacuzzi tub, super comfortable pillow top king mattress, fridge. We brought the pup along and he had a great time. Their location is 200 yards from the stateline so casinos were walking distance.
I'd only knock it one star because the wifi would get jammed up with everyone online and trying to get someone on the phone can be difficult at times. Other then that I couldn't have asked for a better stay. I would highly recommend. -

What's not to like about this place. The rooms were very clean and the beds, the beds were so comfy. I took a little nap on the afternoon, which really turned out to be three hours, because the bed wouldn't let me get up. Pricing is a great value and the place was full.
Only down side was not all check in information was correct, somehow things changed between booking and checking in. But is was nothing the bed couldn't make up for. This is my new location when in town. -

We booked here because we were attending a baby shower in South Lake Tahoe and were bringing our dog and needed pet friendly lodging. We booked a basic king room since we were not expecting to spend much time at the hotel. Unfortunately, on our first night the adjacent neighbors arrived home at 3:30 in the morning and partied until 5:00 a.m when we yelled at them to shut up. When my husband mentioned the issue to hotel management the next day we were immediately offered an upgrade to a suite for our second night. The inconsiderate neighbors were not their fault, but we appreciated the quick response and offer of assistance. We slept much better the second night and enjoyed a fireplace! Both rooms were quite clean and the location was very convenient to a lot of local highlights including the Heavenly shuttle for those who ski, walking distance to the casinos for those who game and walking distance to the lake as well.

My husband and I stayed here for our "minimoon" with our husky Legend in September. We stayed 2 nights Monday-Wednesday. The staff was very nice and down to earth. Shout out to Brian!
We stayed in a nice king suite right off the pool. I walked out of our patio into the pool area. Very convenient! They used a duvet so the comforter isn't diseased like some hotels!!! And the bed just eats you up. I had a very good night sleep. The interior design of the lobby and rooms are BEAUTI-FULLLL! I think I took a bath in the jacuzzi tub every night. The wi-fi was weak but your in Tahoe get off the computer!! Its walking distance to the lake and the main strip.
Beware though the lake is not dog friendly :(. The hotel has free dog bags located around the complex which is helpful.
Overall I loved this place. I will definitely be back. -

This is our little secret getaway hideout in South Lake Tahoe! 3 Peaks is a real gem. Convenient location, cozy cabin-like rooms, friendly, accommodating staff, and great value for the money. In particular, front-desk staff member Craig went out of his way to query us about our plans in order to equip us with coupons and helpful tips. Anyway...we look forward to visiting again!

South Lake Tahoe has a lot of hotels, but I wouldn't want to spend an hour in a lot of them, let alone multiple nights. I discovered 3 Peaks Resort and Beach club the last time I traveled to Tahoe, so it was the first place that I looked at when figuring out my travel plans. I was traveling in September, so the rates were still at their summer prices, but they were very reasonable for their regular hotel rooms, I think I paid around $60 a night.
When I showed up on Sunday night to check in, their no vacancy sign was lit up, which is unusual for hotels in the area in between the busy seasons. They informed me that they had overbooked and had to upgrade me. (shucks. :) ) So for the same price I ended up in a one bedroom suite that had a full kitchen, two balconies, a huge bathroom, and a pull out couch. The room was very clean, and nice, with light wood paneling throughout. I was very impressed with the room, and even for the regular price it is a steal, especially compared to some of the more expensive hotels and casinos. If someone is in town for a week or more, it would be the perfect suite since you can buy food and cook. (did I mention the full size fridge and oven)
The pool and hot tub were beautiful and clean, the hot tub is actually a double one, with water flowing in a waterfall from one to the other. The price also includes a beach pass for a private beach down the road. The beach is clean and manned by a lifeguard, so definitely a perk!
The hotel is within walking distance of shopping, beaches, the casinos, Heavenly village, everything. The staff was friendly, and everything was clean. I will definitely be staying here every time I travel to Lake Tahoe, and highly recommend it to others. -

They charged my card more then double on accident and they still to this date have not credited me back...I had to dispute it with my bank and when I asked to talk to the general manager , Gary, they gave me the run and around and never let me talk to him and he did not call me back either, so the only way I got my Money back was by disputing it.
When I asked the middle man, Paris, who was the owner of 3-PEAKS, he told me that they are not given the owner's name purposely, so that this info can not be passed onto customers. I thought that was pretty shady.
Also, Wendy was very rude and she is the one who messed up on the transaction in the first place.
Otherwise, this hotel is nice and it is located perfectly, right next to Lake Tahoe and walking distance from the casinos. We never had to move our car the entire stay...just walked everywhere. We brought a dog and it was great! -

The staff at this resort is outstanding. Special mention is Paris. He is extremely helpful, and took me to see all the rooms, and helped me settle in the 5 bedrooms cabin, which is amazing! Rooms are clean and comfortable. Location is a short walk to the beach, ski resort and casino.
Very convenient at such a reasonable rate. I highly recommend this place. -

It would have been an OK hotel if someone was on duty in the middle of the night to take care of a noise issue we had. Couldn't sleep for one night straight - customer service: AWFUL!
I really don't recommend this place even though it's so close to the lake .. -

These folks are great. We were hoping to get an early check-in due to quirky work hours. They were completely booked the night previous, but Paris was at the front desk and he took really great care of us. Our thanks to him as well as the manager who stated, "If you guys need anything please let me know."
Oh I think we'll definitely be coming back.
P.S. The dog had no complaints either. ;)
Thanks 3 peaks! And thank You, Paris! -

The staff was friendly and our dog loved getting to know all of his fellow dog guests. The location was almost perfect, a quick walk to pretty much anything you need. As many of the other reviewers have noted, the beds were crazy comfy, almost too comfy, since whenever I sat down I wanted to take a nap. The pool area is nice and the hot tub is pretty neat.
The rooms are a bit small, and it's definitely not a 4 star resort, but we had a really good time and I'd definitely go back. -

Great Location! Next to major stores in the area, the lake, theater, stores, shopping, Gondola, all within walking distance. Don't have to pay for parking or risk getting your car towed in the shopping ares (if over 2 hours). Staff were nice, nice and large spa.

We love this place because it is Pet Friendly. The only down side is the beach they adverise it no longer Pet Friendly. The staff was so helpful by giving us some names of beaches we can take our dog. I've been to Kiva beach a couple of times and loved it but the water is so high in the lake that there isnt much beach for dogs to play. Oh yeah...big plus: room didnt smell of animal. Thanks Paris!!

Glad to hear that they are pet-friendly again. They were not for a period starting on 1/5/2011 until last week, I think. I called to reconfirm if they are truly pet friendly again and happy to report that they are.
As other reviewers have said, this place is a great place to bring your 4-legged family members and I have 2. We have been coming to this place for 4-years now and truly enjoy each one of our stay. We either stay on the king-suite, king-pool suite which have been renovated.
Close walk to the Heavenly gondola during winter and a walk to the beach club where you can rent boats and jet skis during the summer. -
Review from Teacher G.

Super pet-friendly!
When you arrive, the staff is very welcoming and they love animals. The rooms are huge. We had a small kitchen with linolium because we had our two puppies who had been trained to use puppy pads. There was a door to separate the bedroom and the living room (where the dogs stayed). The walls are thick so you don't hear any of your neighbors. There was a backdoor that went right to a grass area and a picnic table. It was great for morning and evening walks.
And, the location was perfect-walking distance to the casinos. We plan to go here again when we have our dogs.
And suprisingly, the rooms smelled fresh...not like dogs/cats. -

Overall a nice place. Room was clean and well maintained. Although, it was the first time that I've seen light leaks from other rooms under the walls and through the shower plumbing! Creepy... Wifi was free and worked relatively well. Good location for Heavenly gondola, shopping, food, casinos on State Line and the lake.
The room does get warm, and running the AC turned out to be an exercise in noise. This was solved by using the second safety latch on the sliding glass door to keep it ajar enough to let in fresh air. -

Alright here... We have pros and cons of this hotel...
Great price! Mont blu and the surrounding casinos were double every night (holiday weekend). This hotel looked better than the other ones on Park Ave and the little streets so we chose to stay here.
Very comfortable beds! Especially if your in the newer rooms. So our first night we stayed in a king room on the further side of the lake. Great bed, small kitchen, small bath. Overall clean and cozy. Not a lot of room to move around tho.
Then... Because it is a dog friendly hotel (which I love as we have a dog) we were woken up a 7:30 from a dog barking. The walls were so thin that we heard telephone convos and knew that the couple next to us left to go skiing.. Their dog barked and whine for almost 2 hours!!! Keep in mind that it was a saturday AM and we just got home at 3am, not a great wake up call. Now in this case I blame their owners. You should know how your dog reacts when you leave. We didn't bring our dog because we didn't want him to be all alone of hours.
We give this hotel 4 starts because of the front desk. I called, on a sold out weekend, and asked to be moved. It took a few hours to move us but we got moved. Thank you!!
Quick brisk walk to casinos cheaper stay. I say thumbs up on this place. -
Review from Ben P.

1/10/2011 1 Check-in Here
I've now stayed here 3 times and decided it was finally time to write a review. This is one of the more economical 3-star hotels that you can find in the South Lake Tahoe area which is why I've stayed here so often. I'm starting to get over booking the cheapest place possible as I've run into heating issues, bugs and unfriendly staff. All of these perils are long avoided at 3 Peaks.
The staff is always young and friendly; they usually can share a story of skiing the day of just like you did when you arrive. They have a pool table and large flat screen in the small lobby/check-in area. Located just 3 blocks from the casinos, there is everything you need right there within walking distance. They also have a two-level oversized outdoor hot tub. Some of the rooms are much further away than others are from the hot tub. Luckily each time I've stayed we were relatively close to the hot tub. The wet walk back from the steamy hot tub in freezing temps really isn't as bad as you'd think it was. Your body is so warmed up from the hot tub that the cold barely pierces your outer skin layer.
I prefer to not book via the hotel extranets like Travelocity or Expedia as I work in hospitality and know the net rates these large companies get. That's why I use them mainly to search and then prefer to book direct. The problem I had here is I could book a 1 night stay on Travelocity at a lower rate than they would book via in house reservations for a 2 night minimum stay. I told them all of this and the reservationist said she didn't have the right to override. Maybe they should look into having a manager available with the knowledge of saving their bottom line!
PLUSES
The rooms are of a decent size and are always clean, functional and well maintained. They are equipped with a nice mini fridge which comes in handy to keep any leftovers or beers cold. The rooms are nothing too glorious, but just perfect for crashing in after a long day of snowboarding. The king sized bed was VERY comfortable. Another reason I like staying at somewhat of a nicer place these days.
MINUSES
Like almost all hotels the towels are scratchy. The heater gets a little tricky and you can go from cold to hot and then right back in a matter of minutes if you don't set it correctly. My other complaint is the shotty shovel and plow job they have in their parking lot. Granted I know that vehicles are parked there the majority of the time and it snows regularly, but when a car does move, you should send out maintenance to salt or chip away at the ice that covers most of the pavement's surface area.
All in all, for the price, I am very happy and if they improved the couple minor things I mentioned above, it would certainly be pushed into the 5-star level. In the meantime, I'll be looking to give them more of my business so long as they keep their rates low! -

I've stayed here about 5 times now - initially because they were dog friendly, but then because they are just a great value and have great staff.
The suites (several sizes) are particularly pleasant for a few extra bucks.
On my last trip, we unfortunately had noisy neighbors with little kids at 11pm, and we had to be up at 6am the following morning. Without hesitation, Thomra (at the office) gladly offered the use of a second room above our own. If no room was available, I'm sure he would have found other ways to approach the problem - but he was prompt and sympathetic, and said this was the easiest and quickest way for us to get a good night's sleep, and it was.
It may have cost the hotel a few extra bucks, but it bought our continued loyalty and this review. -

I would recommend 3 Peaks to anyone who is looking for a clean, basic quality place to stay in Lake Tahoe. The staff were friendly. The rooms were clean, neat, and comfortable. Nice but not luxurious. What I especially liked was that the hotel was located a short, quiet walk to the lake. There is an outdoor jacuzzi that is good for nighttime zoning out. I was just passing through the area, and so I don't know how convenient this location may be for other things one may want to do in Lake Tahoe. But I enjoyed my accommodations and location for the one night I was there. (by the way, I don't have a dog)

First off I love their mascot/logo. The dog with the board shorts is cute :)
We were in Tahoe for our friend's wedding and booked a room with two beds for two nights. The rate was under the room block and I felt it was very reasonable for the area and the proximity to the water and shopping.
The lobby was cute, modern and clean. The staff was friendly and there was ample parking. The room was nice but kind of average. Looks like we were in a section/building that still needed some modernization, but it was still nice, the AC worked and the bed was comfy :)
I recommend this hotel and we will be back! -

My husband took me on a surprise weekend get away to South Lake Tahoe. This hotel was GREAT!
We have never stayed in a hotel that had a kitchen (full equipment kitchen). We spent $50 at the grocery store, which fed us 2 breakfast/2 dinners. I thought it was a great idea...it made the trip very intimate and my husband cooked for me the whole time (awwww!).
We stayed in the Parlor Suite - King Bed & Soaking Tub room. We had a fireplace in the living room, terrycloth bathrobes (which we used at the huge double jacuzzi), and two balconies with nice views. The hotel had a very romantic/cottage feel to it. Large space and very clean.
When we first got there, they tried to upgrade our room, but we didn't want it (it was way too big for just the two of us). The staff carried all our luggage to our room. They are also very friendly and helpful when we needed more towels/coffee.
We will definitely come back soon with the kids. =) -

pros:
super dog friendly
nice dual hot tub
i stayed in a poolside room:
the bedding was really nice, usually i like my own comforter from home when i travel cuz hotel bedspreads freak me out, but this bedding was top notch and very clean. From pictures, I don't know if I would have felt the same way about a regular king room.
the shower was really big and nice. the in-room soaking tub with spa jets is a really nice perk.
overall, i really liked the room, the decor and everything. the plumbing is loud and the walls are paper thin, luckily i stayed next to quiet people and it never was an issue for me.
cons: the front desk. and general confusion and poor running of the check in process. i had two rainchecks (credits) for my stay- she only applied one. despite calling ahead and talking to the hotel manager it still was a mess a check in. then she puts a $400 hold on my credit card instead of the usual $100, since it was over a weekend- i was out $300 bucks for beers and fun on my vacation. not cool. i don't think the girl is the sharpest tool in the shed. when i called the front desk after discovering this error they did nothing to relieve the situation. bad business.
i'd give them a second chance, if they'll accept a cash deposit. -

Feeling spontaneous, my husband decided to take our family on a trip to Lake Tahoe to escape the unbearable Sacramento heat. He checked Expedia for some deals and came across the 3 Peaks Resort. Decently priced with good reviews, we decided to take a chance. I'm sure glad we did.
When we arrived to hotel, I was pleased that the location was really close to the beach, state line, and shopping, yet not too close to hear the noise or traffic. Check in was a breeze and we got bumped up to the honeymoon suite at no extra charge since they were overbooked.
The room was clean and had plenty of room to my surprise, as compared to other standard Lake Tahoe hotels we've been to. We had a nice kitchenette area with a refrigerator, mircrowave & sink. Bathroom & kitchen countertops were granite and it seemed like the fixtures were updated. There was also a heart-shaped, jacuzzi tub in our room -- but you have to keep in mind that we did get upgraded to the honeymoon suite. My 2 year old had a lot of fun splashing in the tub with the jets on (with close supervision, of course). =)
Most importantly, our king size bed was oh, so comfortable! Down feather comforter, pillow top mattress & down feather pillows! I would say just as good if not better than the Double Tree Hotel. We all slept well. I must say that our stay here made our quick trip to Tahoe well worth it!
If this place provided some kind of a breakfast, I would've given it 5-stars. Overall, though, this place isn't bad. -

The "Lady K" and I decided to end our Tahoe cabin lease early and spend the last weekend of the season in a hotel. It was a last minute decision - a quick, "lets do it" moment - and it was the perfect way to end the season!
After searching online from everything between the Marriott and the Motel 6, I landed on the homepage for the 3 Peaks Resort. It looked great and after checking what other Yelpers where saying, I booked a two night stay.
Imagine a hotel from the 70s and they recently hired some hip young designer to come in and fix the place up BUT they didn't give them a big budget to do it... got a mental picture?How about title in the bathroom but the toilet paper holder is made to look like wood logs? How about flat panel HD TVs on the wall but the cords are all visible? How about the biggest king size bed you've seen but the plates and coffee mugs are straight out of a garage sale?
I'm not knocking any of the above. We loved it all and are making plans to stay there again this summer. Bonus, they take dogs at $20 a night and they have plenty of places to walk the pooch AND they supply poop bags! Enjoy! -
Review from Vanessa Y.

Our first time visiting and we will be back for many more! We chose 3 Peaks because we wanted to bring our dogs to Tahoe and they did not disappoint. Front desk staff was very friendly, hospitable and informative. When our dog got sick Saturday night, we called the front desk and were consoled and assisted by a staffer who reacted as if it was her own dog who had fallen ill. She looked up the numbers for after-hour vets and asked us to keep her updated. Any place that welcomes and loves our dogs as much as we do earns a special place in our hearts. The rooms were log cabin style and what it lacked in contemporary decor, it more than made up with ultra plush, ultra comfy, memory foam mattresses.
Additional pluses: Close to everything. We walked to the Heavenly Gondolas everyday, Starbucks was across the street, it's blocks from the beach and there are plenty of pooch patches in and around the property fully-equipped with poopie bag dispensers. Love it -- we are fans.
