Room was nice and very warm. The bathroom was a bit small but it worked . It was very quiet during our stay. No coffee pot or phone in room. They don't serve breakfast, only coffee in the morning in the office and don't want you cooking in the rooms. Big tvs with good channels. Would recommend bringing your own hair conditioner and shampoo.. nice location in the middle of everything of South lake Tahoe.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Classic "you get what you paid for" Inn. VERY good location at the bottom of South Lake Tahoe so you are centrally-located to do it all without being in the center of craziness there. Very close to the Lake and Highway 50 and Stateline. You can walk to the Lake from the Inn and take the path along the Lake. Service was very good, rates were very good during October. Room and bed were good, very quiet. Only problem I had was that the wall heater would not continue functioning for 3 days/nights straight, so I woke up in the mornings when the outside temps were in the 30s and the room was about 45-50 degrees, even after their maintenance reps came every day to re-light the furnace.
