Crystal Bay Hotel Reviews

5/5 Excellent
"Beautiful time the week after they closed the mountain for skiing. Very quiet! "
A verified traveller stayed at Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe
"My boyfriend and I had went for his Birthday and had a really nice stay! The staff was super accommodating and friendly, Casino portion was very clean, and the room was newly renovated with a modern look. The only thing that was a little confusing was paying for the parking. But we asked a team member and they were able to explain how it works. Besides that, the room was advertised with no mini fridge on hotel.com and the hotels main website, but once we got there we realized there was one in our room! So that was a great bonus! Overall we had a great stay and definitely will be coming back again!"
A verified traveller stayed at Harveys Lake Tahoe Resort & Casino
"Beautiful property located 300 yards from gondola lift
We skied for 3 days and stayed 4 nights. The property has been completely renovated last year and has 9 floors of nice suites with a daily breakfast for 29.00. Some days we just ate cereal in the room but had to ask for bowl and spoon in the kitchen downstairs. There is a small fridge in the room.The king size bed was very comfortable and the suite area with small sofa had a nice TV for chillin after a long day on the mountain. We were next to Harveys Hotel and Harrah's casino. I recommend The Sage room for dinner one night. Very pricey but great food and beautiful views of the lake.
The hotel staff were very friendly and kind. We checked our skis and boards in a downstairs locker room but had to carry our boots up to our rooms
The hot tub and indoor pool were nice at the end of the day.
The main street for shops and restaurants is a short walk or close drive away
I give the hotel and staff 5 stars for price, service, amenities and helpful attitudes."
