Tahoe Institute for Natural Science

I booked this property based on the positive reviews and felt like perhaps I was misled. The location is about a half mile from the beach and Heavenly Village which was good but the property is divided by a busy street making sleeping with an open window very noisy. The property was cute in some areas but mostly looked tired, especially in the hallways. The pool and spa were small but there was a cute common fire pit area which offered free smores. The room itself was extremely dark and shadowy, and the floors in our room were damaged. We were on the middle floor which reminded me of apartment living as I could clearly hear all neighbors and the floors above creek. Furnishings and bedding were old and heavily used, and even the door hanger was tattered and worn. The only thing I actually enjoyed about the room was heated toilet seat which was a strange and unexpected surprise. The silver lining to our stay is that the disappointment in accommodations led us to be out of the room exploring Tahoe more.

The recent rain storm damaged the main entrance which was closed for repairs. Its a long walk to the exteior pool.

Always a great place to stay.. great for walking around the lake. Easy on and off the freeway
