Good price, I got it for only $67 a night.
Good location, walking distance to almost everything!
I got the 1 bedroom standard, the front desk lady told me I could upgrade to a deluxe for an extra $20 a night. I looked into the deluxe room and it wasn't too much of an upgrade, except a bigger TV, so I decided to stick with my original room.
The room was clean, had everything I would need for a home away from home. There were full kitchen supplies so I was able to cook some of my meals.
Love the double shower heads, perfect for showering for two people.
Clean place, not big but just enough for me and my girlfriend.
For the price & amenities..
I definitely recommend anyone to try a stay here.
Thank you Americana Village, maybe I will see you again. :) -

Good location for a hotel in South Lake Tahoe. They are literally 15 minutes from Heavenly. But why drive when a free shuttle picks you up and drops you off right on their doorstep?!
We lucked out and got a remodeled room, which was quite nice. There's even two LCD TVs to watch. The kitchen is pretty nicely appointed. I'm pretty sure we were in a handicap room though since there were no steps into the shower.
Even the pull-out sofa bed was nice. It was way above average with a built-in inflatable mattress!
On top of that they do have a so-so free breakfast with donuts, meh OJ, and coffee. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby as well. The pool and hot tub are heated year round + they have tons of rental DVDs for free.
We did experience some issues with the built-in microwave/oven. But overall, it was a very good stay.
We got in super late at about 3AM. Even though the front office was closed, all I had to do was pick up a phone on the side of the building, give them my name and voila! They picked up on the 2nd ring! I was given a code to the lock box and found my room key. I just strolled in to do a proper check-in the next morning. -

Found a great deal on http://Hotels.com, after many calls beforehand to confirm my reservations and to request a renovated room ( I was told it was first come first serve basis). Upon check in however I was told it would be an additional $20 for the renovated rooms was misleading since none of the other employees mentioned a fee.Other than that, everything was nice.The room was clean, and it had everything I needed.Two LCD tv's,full fridge, cooktop, micorwave, dishwasher, extra towels and soap. Get up early for a breakfast of hard boiled eggs, donuts, apple juice and coffee. The coffee for some reason was AMAZING....even better than Starbucks... The location is 5 minutes from Heavenly and the Casinos.

Like everyone else had said get the remodeled rooms. They have dual lcds but no hd. There is only one bed but there is a pullout from the sofa with an inflatable mattress. I must note that we lost power to our kitchen and it took them a while to restore it.

My husband and I love this place! Great location, really nice people and i love how they have a microwave, plates, cups, silverware. It really made my morning when I got to enjoy my leftovers from McDuff's warm and not off styrofoam. We were really excited to come back (and appreciate that they have a discount for repeat customers) and make a reservation but had to cancel last-minute. They were super nice about it. Looking forward to rescheduling :)

We were lucky enough to stay in one of their Presidential Suites. It has two bedrooms and two baths. There is a full kitchen. There is even a heart-shaped large bath tub with jets in the bedroom!
They are in the process of upgrading. All rooms now have a full sized refrigerator along with the microwave and dishwasher. One and two bedrooms also have a stove. The rooms are very comfortable.
In the presidential suite there are three flat screen TVs. There are VGA and HDMI connections, so if you bring your computer or hdmi device, you can easily connect it to the TV.
The staff is the friendliest of any place I have ever stayed. There are activities everyday that are fun from Poker to crafts.
Each morning there are fresh donuts, apple juice, orange slices, and hard boiled eggs.
There is a great variety of board games and DVDs you can borrow for free during your stay. There is also equipment you can borrow like snow shoes and bikes, again for no extra cost.
The bed was a little hard for me, but I borrowed one of their mattress toppers, and it was perfect.
The location is right off Highway 50, so it is very convenient to get anywhere in Tahoe. It was very quiet when we were there, and we loved our week. We will be back again! -

This place is awesome. Time share points equaled a dope spot for New Years. Mad love and shout out to Victor and Oscar our security guards. The rooms can fit 4 comfortably. Mini kitchen with plenty of shelves and dishes etc., heated lamp bathroom... heaven. They have space under the stairs (two of them) to stash snow boards and other gear.. that opened up all kinds of space. The fold out wasn't sunken in and the beds were firm. Bonus points for having a curtain separating the couch and the bed area. Plenty of drawer space. This place is within walking distance of Harrahs/ Heavenly Village, 7-11 and Mi Pueblo.... did I mention there is a BBQ grill on the premises?
They have a mini gym, a sauna, hot tub and a small swimming pool. They have parking either at their spot or their sister hotel. Like a cruise, there are bowling nights, info nights etc.... check the schedule when you check in. Additionally they have over 200 DVDs they "rent" out to guests for free.
The staff is so friendly it is ridiculous. We were able to check in early and relax. You get cookies when you check in.. those were yummy too.
From what my friend told me they have remodeled.
I definitely want to come back here.Listed in: Throwing up the "T" for Tahoe

Review from Amy J.
Don't judge this "hotel" by its outside. Since my brother hardly uses his timeshare, I asked him if my BF, his two friends and I could use it for a weekend ski/snowboarding trip to Tahoe. I gave him the dates and we were set to go. We arrived after check in, so we used to the white courtesy telephone outside and they gave us the code so we could get our key.
We opened the door and were quite surprised at the interior. I think they have remodeled because my sis, mom and some of my sister's friends said it was the size of a small hotel. It can fit four reasonably well. I wouldn't bring more than four with you or you'll probably end up cramped. The couch opens up into a bed, there are extra pillows and a blanket stashed in the closet. There's a ton of closet space for storage, two flat screens and two DVD players, a dividing curtain for privacy, a small kitchen and bathroom. The shower is quite spacious. The entire room is very clean.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's small enough but good enough for a quick vacation. Looks like we'll be back sometime in the future...mostly just by ourselves though because we can relax much easier.
It's also convenient to a lot of shopping, restaurants, Harrah's, and Heavenly. There are also shuttles to nearby resorts. Lots of good amenities. They're AAA approved as well so I think you can book it even if you're not a timeshare member. Wifi is free if you're a member too.
Also, there's parking - one space per visitor so if it's full, make sure you take note of that, especially if it's snowing because you won't be able to even park on the street. -

Our recent stay at the Americana Village was an excellent place to stay. We got in pretty late upon check-in (3AM) so we had to call into an answer service in order to get a one time code to a safe containing our room key. Very easy process; just verified my name and room I was staying in along with some basic info and we were good. The room was amazing. I understand they recently have been updated and I must say, the décor and qualify is suburb. Granite counters, nice size kitchenette along with stainless steel appliances. It also had most all the cooking utensils, silverware, plates, glasses and basics needed to cook with. The bathroom was a bit small, but they had a Jacuzzi tub with Dual showerheads (which the wife loved). Brand new flat screen TV's with actual cable channels (not few cheesy channels you get at other places) and HDMI connections so you can bring your GoPros and videos to watch. They had a queen size couch pull-out bed along with a King size bed with headboard and all. The room was a studio, so there was no separating wall, but they did have a certain you can draw to separate the space. Overall the room was great and I would defiantly come back (actually we have already planned out a few more boarding trips and booked here already). In the morning they had fresh donuts, apple juice, orange slices, and hard boiled eggs. Price was a bit more than a cheesy motel, but well worth it and I wouldn't think twice about it. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking spend time in the heart of South Lake Tahoe and not break the bank doing so.

I have been coming here yearly for over 25 years (time share has been in the family 40 years; I inherited it ten years ago). From the outside it looks to be a motel, which I absolutely hate, and the interior is 80's Florida- very outdated. In its defense, most of the lodging in Tahoe, except for the five star places, seems to be the same. And they are currently remodelling all rooms. In peeking in, I have to say they look great. I have yet to stay in one though.
The rooms have almost always been clean. A few years ago I did stay in a room that had fleas, and although they took care of it right away (sprayed it, we had to stay out for many hours), it was gross and a huge inconvenience, as we had an infant at the time (not to mention scary bc of the chemicals). Anyway, they took care of it and ever since I have never had a problem with a room.
We sleep in a one bedroom. The beds are fine (not super comfortable) and they provide enough pillows. I love that there is a kitchenette, so we don't have to eat out all the time. If you stay on the first floor, you can always hear people on the second floor - very annoying.
The staff is what makes this place a great place to stay. They are always friendly and helpful. They have fun activities for kids planned during the week, and cheap dinner options a few times a week (husband loves them; I prefer eating out). It's a great place for kids; we love the pool. -

I found this place on http://Hotels.com for the humble sum of $58 (taxes and everything) and wasn't expecting much.
Wow. What a steal!
The room would have slept 4 comfortably, with a pull out couch and curtains to have a bit of privacy. The room had a kitchenette and table, along with the couch and coffee table in the sitting area. The queen sized bed was comfortable, good pillows, overall a clean little room.
The bathroom was fantastic with a dual showerhead shower. OMG. LOVE IT! First addition to the condo I buy some day is a dual showerhead shower.
The staff has all kinds of things going on at night from 'Welcome Night' with free wine and beer to Ice Cream Social night with all you can eat sundae's for $2.
Nice pool with a smaller spa, but nice as well.
We'll be back and hope we get room 323 again! -

This is a nice place to stay for a great price close to the center of South Lake Tahoe downtown. The resort is very clean, not upscale, but recently remodeled and has a kitchenette (refrigerator, sink and microwave) It also comes with all the cooking utensils, silverware, plates, etc., The living area has a sofa bed. AND the shower had double shower heads!
We will definitely be back. -

Cute little hotel that's not on the "strip" but within walking distance. Free parking. Free bike rental but didn't get a chance to take up the offer. The place is somewhat outdated but is clean. Staff is friendly and very helpful when we asked for recommendations on nearby places to eat.
I wish they would take better care of the hotel...I noticed that the lawn furniture stayed out the whole night and were soaked with dew in the morning. Needs a fresh coat of paint to perk it up. -

What a surprise! We got there just to use up our relative's timeshare time and I would never believe the rooms to be so nice inside. They underwent a recent remodeling and changed the design from the worn down shabby chic to a "mountain modern". The rooms are on a smaller side, but adequate, can sleep four, and are very well equipped with everything you might need: fridge, microwave, toaster, two flat screen TVs (I am serious, there are two of them in one room, hardwood floors, double-head showers, etc.. A walking distance to Heavenly village and proximity to restaurants and casinos makes this little hotel an excellent choice for a short Tahoe ski weekend.

I stayed here with my family last weekend for 3 nights. I have to say I was kind of disappointed at first upon our arrival. The place had that motel look, blehhh. I am glad the negative stops here. Loved the way the rooms were designed. It has that warm look to it. Also the kitchenette was a plus, we brought in some groceries (salads, sandwiches, bottled water etc.) so we didn't have to go out and eat. The bathroom was AWESOME! The shower had two showerheads. The first thing that came into my mind was to jump in that shower and use that two showerheads at the same time. I almost never wanted to get out of that bathroom. I kind of giggle every time I have to take a shower.
Heavenly is only a mile away and they offer discounts on lift tickets!
The staff makes this place worth staying for. Starting from the front desk, to maintenance guys (who worked hard plowing the snow day in and day out), all the way to the housekeeping! I am definitely coming back to this place. -

Came here along with my Mom on her timeshare. LOVED IT! I got a remodeled room the first night, it was beautiful. Two large flat screens, new furniture, granite countertops, single person jet tub. We made Tie Dye shirts, the kids played Poker and Uno in a "tournament". The swimming pool was perfect, theres a "big toy" for the kids to climb on, volleyball net, plenty of chairs and BBQ's outside. I ended up staying a second night, had to switch rooms and got an non-remodeled room. Humm, quite an interesting room! The staff was pleasant, we really enjoyed our stay.

This place is awesome! Price is really reasonable, location is great for casinos and Heavenly. Rooms are clean and recently remodeled and modern. We got a double room with very comfortable queen bed and ok comfortable sleeper couch. Room had a small kitchen - stocked with dishes, etc. Two flat screen TVs- nice furnishings. The only bummer was that they had run out of donuts by the time we got to the atrium (around 8:45 a).
I would highly recommend this place for the price! -

I have been staying here for years. I have never had a problem. The staff is always nice, and the rooms are always clean. They give you cookies when you check-in...how can that be bad! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because they still have a lot of updating to do. Many rooms have been remodeled, and they are very nice. They have everything you need in everyroom, toaster, blender, microwave, fridge, dishes, ect...everything that is except a hair dryer...hummmm. This place is a time-share as well as a motel, that's why they try to have everything you need. Also they have tables and BBQ's outside, and a very nice grass area. I always enjoy my stay, however, I did find that having a connecting door is not a good idea, because you can hear everything on the other side...awkward!

I stayed here in January with three kids and a husband, the room was just what we needed, great space, CLEAN, affordable, everything the person below me says is true. Staff was ridiculously helpful/friendly even when the kids are crawling all over the place touching everything. I love this place and it will be where we stay from now on. And to top it all it was affordable (like got for the same price as your run of the mill room) The kitchenette really payed off too! Thank you Americana!!!! PS- pool and hot tub open all year!!!
