This place is small but centrally located and right across the street from Gar Woods, great restaurant. All said, nothing fancy at all. No blow dryer, no ironing board. Just very simple. Needs a remodel and paint job. The beds were comfortable. We are in our mid 60’s and I think younger folks would do well in a place like this b/c the price was very good. Oh, the man working at the desk was very nice. ##### Tanya Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good location for no nonsense room for a reasonable cost. ##### Dan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities room was prefect for what I needed.

The lodge is strategically located in Carnelian Bay, where we could have a beautiful view of Tahoe just with a 5 minutes walk. There were also convenient store and laundry nearby. The only downside was the slight smell of the old property, and the place could feel quite stuffy in summer. ##### Evan Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This property is not upscale but my stay was fine. Room was clean, hot water hot, and mattress acceptable. It was substantially less expensive than anything near it. It is at a busy intersection for near lake front property so there was some road noise during the night, but the place was better than I expected and much better than I feared it could have been. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer 28 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is in serious need of an upgrade. The furniture is from the 70s, the carpet needs removing, the blinds hadn’t been dusted in a long while, there is no AC or coffee pot, flat pillows, and clearly there had been bugs in the bathroom that got sprayed as they were still there stuck to the floor. The Expedia picture is very misleading. The exterior isn’t cute wooden and warm -it’s worn dorm and hasn’t been painted in many years. When I arrived, the keys to my room were in an envelope with my name on it on the door of the office and they are actual keys - not key cards. It’s great that you can walk across the street to the lake and we really only needed place to sleep so I guess it worked in that regard and it was cheaper for summer Tahoe prices but def not what I expected for $130 a night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/595f3edc-f554-4338-9d37-d7d407ea3546-1753718425067.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ff4245e-9f1d-4fc0-a05d-6fd8d3f2cebf-1753718424267.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/26289446-758a-4d86-bd62-02726d5305b4-1753718424430.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Myles 8 Oct 2024 Disliked: Amenities This is an old basic motel. It appears to be a one person operation. And that person does their best to assist. That said, the beds are somewhere between firm and rock hard. On 2 occasions get hot water required a call to the front desk. Our shower moved back and forth between cool and too hot. Location is good. Across from the Lake and Garwoods ##### Myles Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### JoAnn 28 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Dog friendly space and place 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. ##### JoAnn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Romantic Couples Cabin near Park Gate Entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fresno-Hotels-Romantic-Couples-Cabin-Near-Park-Gate-Entrance-To-Sequoia-Natl-Park.h33495653.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Buena Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buena-Park-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Buena-Park.h12753.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > > [Sacred Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Joshua-Tree-Hotels-Sacred-Sands.h39764924.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT house Pleasant Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Concord-Hotels-HYATT-House-Pleasant-Hill.h890952.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Lucky 7 Casino & Hotel – Howonquet Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eureka-Hotels-Lucky-7-Casino-Hotel-Howonquet-Lodge.h11944336.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Valley Ranch, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Valley-Ranch.h423710.Hotel-Information) > > [Pala Casino Spa And Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Temecula-Hotels-Pala-Casino-Spa-And-Resort.h1071947.Hotel-Information) > > [Multi-Family A-Frame Cabin: 9 Beds + Lake Access + AC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Arrowhead-Hotels-Summer-A-Frame-Cabin-Lake-Access-AC.h79186206.Hotel-Information) > > [Spyglass Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Spyglass-Inn.h41235.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Mission-Inn.h21218.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Bear Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Black-Bear-Lodge.h19238657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hill House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mendocino-Hotels-Hill-House-Inn.h181081.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [POSTMARC Hotel and Spa Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-POSTMARC-Hotel-And-Spa-Suites.h42482.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottage Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Cottage-Inn-By-The-Sea.h150921.Hotel-Information) > > [Melody Ranch Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Melody-Ranch-Motel.h10080334.Hotel-Information) > > [Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge, Retreat and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Julian-Hotels-Quiet-Mind-Mountain-Lodge-Retreat.h48225149.Hotel-Information) > > [Tahoe Beach & Ski Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Tahoe-Beach-Ski-Club.h13561.Hotel-Information) > > [TETRA Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunnyvale-Hotels-TETRA-Hotel.h59450839.Hotel-Information) > > [3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-3-Peaks-Resort-Beach-Club.h889943.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Lake-Tahoe-Vacation-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h64098.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) ---
