A new low. This room has the bare minimum ... a throwback to a cheap 1950's motel. My room came with two beds, a dresser, a fridge and microwave, spotty television (kept freezing or just crashing) and (unbelievably) exactly one inconveniently located electrical outlet. What it lacked was a bedside lamp, adequate television reception, housekeeping (no cleaning for a two night stay) and a usefully functioning front desk (very limited hours). It feels like a cash cow at the guests' expense.

City workers used the parking lot as a staging area and ran jack hammers and quickie saws all night. Understanding that this is unavoidable when it comes to construction but would have been considerate of the staff to at least warn customers of the situation. Additionally the staff was minimal and not friendly at all with no hours of the front door posted. Furthermore, I locked my key in the room after hours and called the emergency number they had posted, left a message and never got a call back to see if i was able to renter my room! Will not stay there again.

I will be contacting you via phone for a refund. This hotel was awful, my employees refused to stay here and I had to relocate them to another hotel. This was antiquated, dirty and the room had a foul, mildew odor, the couch was stained. Just unacceptable, even for my 2 employees in the area for work. They would have preferred a motel 6 over this place.

There was nobody at the desk office during our stay (2 nights), no bike was available, the property was very noisy at night. There was NO service. It is not worth the price.

We stay one night, it is conveniently located in north Lake Tahoe with plenty of dining options within walking distance. Safeway is just right next door.
