We had no problem with the cleanliness except that the sink was clogged! The management and employees are all indian, and they seem a little too greedy when it comes to investing in their business. The breakfast was a water-down coffee with hostess donuts(99 cents)! The one whos cleaning the rooms looked like she was the managers mother. They want to charge big and spend little on their customers.

It is walking distance to casinos and stuff. But would recommend other hotels that are towards the lake and away from the main street because of the noise.

Pricey for what they offer.

I went to Tahoe during the summer 09 and I stayed here. For the price, I thought this place was pretty decent.

Pros:
The service was very helpful during my stay. Upon entering y room, it smelled of cigarette smoke. I told the front desk and was promptly given a new room and an apology (finally a place that apologizes for their mistakes).

My room was clean. No mysterious stains etc.

The hotel is pet friendly. I took my 70 pound German Shepard and they didn't have a problem with it. There is also a grassy area where they can do their business.

The pool is clean and heated.

Cons:
There were none considering the price that I paid (around $50 a night If I remember correctly).

Conclusion:
Seriously, for the price, it was a decent hotel.

An enormous, gigantic pile of shit.

That's the nicest thing I can say about it.

The rooms here are overpriced, but you can haggle with the owner (who is usually the gentleman at the front desk) over the price.

They actually have a few rooms here with in-room jacuzzi tubs. The jacuzzis are nice, but the rooms feel just a little off kilter. It definitely feels like someone was trying to fill out the decor for the sake of filling space.

I took my girlfriend-at-the-time to this place the first time she had been to Tahoe. We only stayed here because most other places were already booked.

We enjoyed the jacuzzi, but definitely overpaid. If you're spending this much money on a room, consider the hotels at the casinos instead. It's about the same price, and feels alot more luxurious.

2 words: STAY AWAY!
I hope the owners of this place reads this. First off, we booked our room on http://Orbitz.com where they had all the rooms listed for 76.00 All of them, king size bed, queen size bed...whatever it was- 76.00 In the amenities, it listed hot tub, fireplace, etc. We get there, and of course our room has no hot tub. It was one of the things I was looking forward to enjoying during my trip to Tahoe, but I was told that we had to pay extra for a room with a hot tub. So Fuck them. What a way to start off my trip. So our room, it was ok. The bathroom is uber small...so basically if youre not looking to spend a lot, it's an alright place to stay...the office does smell like shit, and the guy who was there, the same guy who told us we had to pay more...I didnt like him much. OH and the internet, my boyfriend couldnt sign onto the wireless even after calling the front desk and getting the password. So not sure if you should look forward to using your laptop there either. I asked my boyfriend what he thought of the place and if he would stay there again. His response? "No."
