The staff at the Tahoe City Inn are the friendliest bunch you will ever meet. I'll be honest, the price was the main factor for choosing the Tahoe City Inn, but I am very shocked at the negative reviews making this place sound like a hole in the wall...it is not.  But also don't expect a 5 star hotel, thats just unreasonable and unfair. I would give this place 6 stars if i could... based on the price, very attentive and friendly staff, complimentary breakfast and clean rooms.  The room in which the reviewer is referring to with the heart shaped tub is supposed to be odd, quirky and different! If someone doesn't get it, then they shouldn't book that room.

THey are redoing their lobby which will be a great addition to the hotel. A beautiful, large fireplace, a large flat screen LCD, bar and cozy atmosphere will really complete your stay.  

Give the Tahoe City Inn a chance, and you will not be disappointed especially with the price.  Its so close to Squaw and Homewood, you would be hard pressed to find a better value in tahoe

The best motel called Tahoe City Inn in the world!  I have had many fun and memorable times staying at the Inn.  Affordable place to stay when you're in Tahoe City.

I went here with an ex three years ago.  We got - no I got the deluxe suite.  At that time, I still hadn't figured out that paying for both my boyfriend and I to stay in a hotel was wack, bunk, just plain old fucked up. I also hadn't figured out how to tell the difference between seedy hotels and cheap hotels.  There is a difference.  

Anyways, the deluxe suite was $10 more expensive, it came with a King instead of a Queen, a pink heart-shaped tub, and a goodie bag upon check in.  Hells yeah.  Giddyup!

I took one look at the tub and said HELL NO I'm not going in there (but kind of wanting to deep inside) - I imagined some washed up whore from Carson City giving her senior citizen boyfriend a sponge bath in it after hitchhiking to Tahoe City.  There are mirrors everywhere.  On the ceiling, the walls of the shower over the heart tub, with no curtain mind you, just mirrors EVERYWHERE.  

The goodie bag was the best part.  The contents were much like the contents of a talk thread not too long ago on the topic of "What's in your "just in case it's an overnight" bag?"  

Condoms
KY
coffee
tea
Latex Gloves (not kidding on this one)
shampoo
a bar of soap
Bumble&Bumble hair powder (kidding)

Everything was kind of reasonable except  the gloves.  We should have left right then.  We didn't though, it was the cheapest hotel in Tahoe City.  We were cheap.  This was my first lesson in choosing a hotel last minute.  We had a fun weekend because we were in love, but it's definitely not a place I'd go back to for health reasons.  Every time I drive past the place and I see a family coming out of a room or something, I feel bad.  They got suckered and had to listen to their kids all weekend beg to take a bath in the heart shaped tub.

When you have next to no money but you really want to go snowboarding, this is a place you go. Now that I make decent money for a living I'd never do it again but there are some stages in your life where a bed and a shower are all you need.

We planned a last minute ski week-end, and Tahoe City Inn was the only option left. We slept at 4 in one bedroom. The beds were firm and large enough for 2 people, the bathroom was of good size and clean. The staff was very friendly, and the complimentary breakfast did us good.
All in all, a good stay!
