Customer Reviews
Terrible experience, staff wouldn’t let me park where I wanted and was micro managing my park job. Smelled terrible and was borderline filthy. Less then a 1/4 roll of toilet paper upon arrival. Staff hard to work with, no garbage, wouldn’t recommend, over priced and poor experience
I asked the young men on the patio about the place. They said, "Solidly adequate." We were looking for a clean bed and bathroom. Check. The furniture and curtains were old. It came with a fridge, microwave, and TV, but there were not enough electrical sockets, so we had to choose between the microwave and TV. The staff were friendly and helpful. But the advertised 'breakfast' was a packaged danish and weak coffee. Door and window security was poor with an old key. The location was a little noisy, but it was conveniently close to the main Tahoe road and the casinos. If you are looking for a place to crash, its clean. I later found other places that were nicer for a few dollars more.
This motel is worst. This is very hot at night in July. Only fan no AC. Bad smiling. Our walker light directly to the window and can be off during the night and the light directly to the room. We cannot open the curtain. I had a bad experience of this motel. Don’t try it.
I was charged $160, ($193 after tax), for 8 hours because I needed to check in after midnight. They said I had to pay for two nights. But I was not able to stay an additional night. I stayed exactly 8 hours. The rates posted online said it should cost $56. Even if that was with a 44% discount, I still got overcharged. The bed was awful and sleep was difficult. There is no AC and the room had broken lamp shades, a shower door that wouldn't close and the cleaning had been poor. The windows had all been left open and it was still sweltering. Seems to be run by a married couple who only argued with me when I tried to resolve being overcharged. I would sleep in your car before staying here. I don't typically post reviews, but that was a nightmare.
Inn is walking distance to the grocery store, restaurants, and the strip (within a 10 minute walk). This was very convenient! Hotel room was clean for the most part. Beds were made and clean. We got clean towels. There were no trash in the room. However, floor was dirty and sticky. My party wore sandals the entire stay because the floor was so sticky. The bathroom was very tiny espcially the shower. The shower door was broken and hard to close. There was no A.C. but two fans were provided. However, even with the fans on and the windows opened, the room was hot and humid (Outside was cool and breezy). One of the three lamps provided worked. Lastly, we paid $300+ for a room with three queen size beds. The quality of the inn was definitely not worth $300+, except for the location.
