Top Y Area Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel for the $. Was very impressed with everything. I’d definitely stay again. 4 star resort for an incredible price."

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

6/10 Okay

"Our stay at Hilton Vacation Club South Lake Tahoe did not feel like a relaxing vacation experience. The property felt more focused on timeshare sales every time your work in the door, rather than guest comfort and hospitality. One major disappointment was the lack of daily room service, which guest has be scheduled well in advance. The pool area service was also inconvenient. There were no drinks or meal services available poolside, so I had to walk to the bar to place food orders and then wait 30–45 minutes before picking them up and returning to the pool. Another frustrating policy was that late check-outs were only offered to guests who attended the timeshare presentation sessions, which made the experience feel even more sales-driven. Considering we paid over $500 per night, the overall experience did not meet expectations. I have stayed at other Hilton Vacation Club properties before and received much better service and hospitality."

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Heavenly Village Area

6/10 Okay

"There were whiskers on the shower wall when we got in. The rest of the room felt clean. Even though the outdoor pool is out of service, that space could be tidied up a bit. The continental breakfast had high carb, high sugar options, and dd not include protein or fresh fruit. The bed was comfortable, water pressure was good and overall our sleep experience was comfortable."
