Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to shops and restaurants. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and had a cozy kitchenette setup. The service was exceptional despite the spooky stories about the hotel being haunted. The only downside was the limited dining options nearby, but overall, it felt like a home away from home.
The hotel rooms, after figuring out how to turn on the central heater/AC, were very comfortable, making me feel like I was at home. They were clean but had a slight old house smell, and there was some noise from the new bar below my room. The location was very convenient for shopping, eating, and cocktail spots, and it was a great starting point for day trips into South Lake Tahoe. However, there were some downsides to the location. The service was extremely helpful and kind, making my experience pleasant. The dining options were a bit lacking, and there were some surprises like finding out about the coffee and juice after checking out.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the rooms were spacious with a bed, a sitting area, and a tiny kitchenette but slightly lacked amenities for the price. The service was beyond helpful and friendly, although I had to endure some unwanted noises in the evenings. The location was outstanding in terms of convenience, with numerous dining and shopping options nearby. The dining experience was decent, with several eateries within walking distance, though the meal choices were limited. Overall, a good value for the money.
