My family and I stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Northstar and it was everything we needed. The room was very clean and much larger than I thought it would be. The beds had a ton of blankets, with extras available "just in case". The heater worked amazing and the in-room coffee was offered in actual coffee cups, which was a pleasant surprise. The wifi was strong and free.
Ed at the front desk was friendly, prompt and he had great recommendations for places to eat in the area and things to do. The hotel is SUPER conveniently located. It took us 13 minutes to get to Northstar in the morning, which is hard to beat. There is a cute local bistro a 3 minute walk which was great for dinner and the Old Post Office Cafe (great breakfast!!) is a 6 minute walk. If you want something fancier, Gar Woods Grill is right across the street.
The best part about the hotel is the view. It is right across the street from the lake. We opened the curtains to our room and watched the sun rise over the lake. It was amazing. I'd stay here again, just for that.
It is an older hotel and it has not been updated in long time. If you are looking for frills or a fancy hotel room, this is not the place for you. If you want a clean, comfortable room, this is it. My only issue was that the pillows are very flat. Easy solve to either double up or bring your own.
The hotel was everything we needed and we will be back.

Absent ANY service, it is a Very old and poorly kept up establishment not at all worth what they are charging. The beds were extremely worn out and uncomfortable. The carpet in the room was disgusting and the trash cans had very old stains and even torn. What a joke.

Great location for a stay with our dog. Right across the street from a dog friendly park where she could swim. Nice amenities. Large space making it comfortable to have our dog. Older property that with some attention, deep cleaning, and care could be a real stellar place. Loved the shower. Bed, which wasn’t very comfortable, had a plastic bag under sheets which was annoying every time we moved around—most likely to protect from pets. Extensions to the plug behind the bed could make it easier to charge devices. Great potential! Bargain price. We’d stay again.

The motel is older, and definitely "no-frills" but the rooms are very large and relatively affordable. Though decor is dated, room/bathroom/sheets were all very clean. I would consider it a good "crash-pad" for those focused on other activities and just need a spot for the night.

The owner was really helpful and accommodating to an early check in. Rooms were clean. The building is old but overall it was great at the price point.

The picture in the add is deceiving It may have looked like that when it was first built.
The room was tidy but dingy.
The bed linens were clean but mismatched.
The toilet wobbled and the toilet seat was worn. The shower pan was filthy. The baseboards and caulking around the sink looks like it was applied by someone inexperienced.
I didn’t/wouldn’t use the kitchen area. It just did not not look sanitary. There was an old sponge on the back of the sink and the coffeemaker was stained.
The place did not look like it had been upgraded since the 1950’s.
I would not stay here again.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Handle on the toilet fell off. Had to remove lid and stick hand in disgusting tank. The shower was rusted and didn’t look particularly clean. No showers for us. We could hardly wait to leave the next morning. It was cheap, but I will gladly pay more to stay in a decent place.

This place is older, the furniture is worn and the decor is dated BUT it’s a clean room with a bed to sleep on at a decent price for the area. Now let’s talk about the area…
Right across the street from a beautiful, quiet public beach.
You cannot beat the location.

I would never go back here and will never recommend this hotel to anyone. The description said that the reception is open until 9pm and asked me call them in advance and make arrangements if planning to reach after 9pm. I reached the hotel at 8:53pm and I saw that the reception was already closed and my room keys were hanging on the door in an envelop. Hotel has only enough spots for parking cars. Due to some part covered by ice, other cars were not parked at perfect spots and no space was available to park the car. After entering the room, observed that one out of 2 lamps did not had a bulb and other did not had a power socket to connect to turn it on. The bedsheet on one of the beds was having stains.

When we got to the hotel it was 11:30pm. Ed, the host of the hotel had left a key for us.
We were tired and were looking forward to go to bed but we couldn’t as the bed had dog hair everywhere and the floor was dirty.
I called the host until he answered and once he checked the room, he was shocked and apologetic for the situation.
He immediately changed the sheets and cleaned the floor. After that all went well. The bathroom was cleaned and overall the room was decent. I was impressed by his responsiveness and gentleness.

This was an easy and convenient location to stay at while preparing to hit the slopes.

I like kitchen in my room so I could prepare my own meals.
I didn't like parking lot with snow not being removed. There is not much to do around the property and with being snowed in not able to drive to nearby places.

This is an amazing out of the way type of place. I loved it. It’s a bit old an clunky and they need to do a better job with snow removal. However, quiet and inexpensive, across the street from probably the best restaurant in Tahoe. Slept like a baby. Concierge Mr. Star (Black Lab) may be the nicest dog on the planet. A 711 right next door for when you run out of beer:-)… Bring your snow boots! Public beach right across the street. Peek a boo views of the lake across the street from the hotel.

The location is awesome and so is the price! but compared to other budget motels you really get what you pay for. The walls are paper thin and the room I had had virtually no power cables. Dude that runs it is nice though.

Upon checking into our room we were greeted by having blood on the sheets and a used razor in the shower. It appeared the beds were made but that the bedding wasn’t clean or washed. Also the room smelt terrible.
3.0
Cheap for Tahoe but expensive for the quality. Rooms were cozy but walls were thin and water lukewarm. Check in was easy, parking sufficient, and the area seemed secure. Bring earplugs and remind yourself it's the cheapest motel on the north side of the lake and you'll be happy.
