This hotel was awesome! I loved the location close to shops, restaurants, the casinos and they provided a voucher for Lakeside Beach. It was very affordable, rooms were clean and it was a great stay.

Would definitely stay again!!
Love the shower pumps, lovely shower gel / shampoo / conditioner, bring your own lotion. Wish we had reserved 2 queen instead of 1 king. Loved the extra blankets!! Pillows are a bit flat, sinks were a bit high but nice double sink!! Nice microwave and refrigerator!! Nice parking and walking distance to lots of restaurants. Free wifi and absolutely loved they had oatmeal and apple at breakfast!! My boyfriend also enjoyed the bagels with cream cheese and fancy bagel toaster. And not just plain but also cinnamon raisin. Also since we left before the 8am breakfast start time on our checkout day, we were able to take oatmeal packets for our checkout AM breakfast!! Very nice room service replaced all towels!! Friendly front desk greeting for check in and just drop keys at slot outside office for checkout. Did not use the lakeside advantage, ended up doing early AM at Baldwin beach at 9am to beat the crowd (2nd Sunday in August.... gets overly crowded in PM!!!!)

This Inn is perfect for coming home after being out all day and going to bed to wake up and leave again. Ask for extra blankets and pillows. Comforter was torn and hand sewed real quick like. If this is the worse than know It was moreless a great stay for us.

when I booked It was mentioned that they provide continental breakfast but there was no continental breakfast. It was regular bagel and butter/cheese. They should not mention about continental breakfast. They should mention bagel and coffee/tea.

Overpriced old/worn room with hard bed.
First; the carpet was absolutely disgustingly dirty. Recommendation: Replace carpet completely or a thorough deep clean. Second; the furniture was old and 'clunky' and all chairs were not cushioned. Old dresser bureaus and a 'dining room' type table were totally unappealing. Rec: Upgrade furniture for comfort of guests. Third; the electrical capacity of the room was poor. No USB charging ports and no available electrical outlets. One side of bed had end table but no lamp and no electrical outlets. Lamps were old with cracked/deteriorated lampshades Lighting or room was poor. Historical age of room was obvious. Fourth; the mattress was hard. Rec: At least put a modern mattress topper to help with guests' sleeping comfort. Fifth: Replace the tub of the bathroom and remodel the shower/tube area. Rusting bottom of tub was gross. We decided not to shower opting to sponge-bath instead. The tiles of the walls of the shower/tube need to be replaced. All previous 'repairs' were obvious. Finally; the $315.36 one night rate was terribly overpriced. Sure, this is Lake Tahoe on a busy weekend but this guest's satisfaction with this property is nil. .
