The Jeffrey Hotel

Basecamp South Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"We loved the balcony and s’mores in the evening. The shower is a tight squeeze and hard to clean kids since it’s not adjustable"

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in SLT. Close to everything you need. A walk to the beach and restaurants. The staff was polite, they have bikes you check out for the day, the pool and jacuzzi and gym are excellent amenities. There was no freezer in the fridge, and wifi was unreliable, but those were the only downsides. Otherwise a great place. I would be happy to stay there again on my next trip!"

The Americana Village

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay and activities Emily and Jessica at the front desk were all around fantastic! The whole duration from me asking about events in town. To my daughter asking about pool toys. We enjoyed the activities on property, and I did not get all the other staffs names, but remembered Randy as well karaoke was fun and the staff lady with the dimples who made a mean grilled hot link. I mean this place was a great time. Our whole family enjoyed it and so many great memories. Thank you"
