“A Memorable Stay at Fireside Lodge: Exceptional Service and Personal TouchesOur recent stay at Fireside Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. While unexpected circumstances arose during our visit, Olivia and Eric, the staff members we interacted with, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their friendly demeanor and personal attention truly made our night, especially during the delightful happy hour where we indulged in great conversation and were charmed by their adorable puppy.Although our stay was brief, we wished we could have lingered longer to soak in the cozy ambiance and hospitality that Fireside Lodge exudes. In the morning, we had the pleasure of meeting Tracy and Steve, the parent owners, who treated us to the most delectable waffles adorned with fresh berries. Their warmth and genuine interest in their guests made us feel like part of the family.Fireside Lodge stands out among other accommodations in Tahoe for its genuine care and dedication to creating a welcoming environment. With amenities like a s'mores pit, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and a delightful happy hour, every detail is thoughtfully curated to ensure a perfect stay for families. Our time here left us longing to return, and we will definitely be back. Thank you, Fireside Lodge, for making us feel so welcome and for providing us with cherished memories. This is undoubtedly a must-book destination for anyone visiting Tahoe.Noteworthy details: The staff was so sweet!!!!”

Beds were convenient, bathrooms were remodeled, kitchen was decently equipped.Nearby activities: Access to restaurants and shops.Walkability: Walkable to most of shops and restaurants”

“We absolutely love our time at the Station House Inn whenever we are in Tahoe!! The location is great, the staff are always so friendly, and the facilities are clean and well kept. This is absolutely the best bang for your buck in South Lake. We literally refuse to stay anywhere else.”

“First off, what a gem of a place. Quiet, located in a very tucked away place away from traffic. Absolutely loved the room and having a kitchen was a plus. Everything was perfect, including complimentary muffins, coffee, bagels and juice.We had our 2 year old with us, so families should definitely consider staying here. We spent 2 nights.Cons: neighbors next to us were very loud around 1 am on the 2nd night. Needless to say, it woke me up. It is always really unfortunate that people can be so inconsiderate, especially in a quiet, wonderful place. Also, no management on site after 6, however a cell phone number was provided. I didn't bother to text the number considering how late it was.We will definitely be back and next time we will be sure to knock on the neighbors door and ask them to keep it down.”

“An amazing stay. Big rooms, warm lodge in the winter, great views, friendly staff. It’s close to shops, food, and fun, but perfectly out of the way. Just an overall great experience. A nice and quiet getaway.”

“We have been in many places around Lake Tahoe. But ever since we discovered PlayPark Lodge, it cecsme our go-to second home in South Lake Tahoe area. Clean, comfortable rooms, Friendly staff. Easy access to all outdoor trails and locations. Walking distance to great restaurants. Walls are well insulated for noise from utter guests. Parking right in front of the rooms.”

“I HIGHLY recommend booking a vacation at Holly's Place! We booked a weekend stay in March and we were able to bring our large dog. Since the whole property is fenced in we could play fetch and not have to worry about him leaving and he had the freedom to explore the property. The best part was that we got up there on a Friday afternoon and we were the only people on the property. I know how this sounds... I promise this place is a hidden gem and deserves all five stars. The location is about 8 mins from Stateline and there are great places to eat within a couple of mins. I am planning on booking multiple rooms and bringing 2 or 3 other couples up there for a weekend getaway and it can't come soon enough. The rooms are cozy and there is not a lack of hot water or water pressure (if that is something you are concerned with). I also have to give a HUGE shoutout to Nancy who is one of the owners. She graciously let us reschedule our trip due to in-climate weather and she could have easily charged us more or put a fee onto the price that we paid, but she didn't. Sorry for rambling on. I have told multiple friends about Holly's Place and will be back up there soon! THANKS NANCY and Team!”

“This is a funky older place right on the lake. The location could not be better. While the complex suffers from some deferred maintenance, we enjoyed our unit which allowed us to step off our lanai/ patio right onto a small beach and into the lake. The lanai/ patio is large and great for people and sunset watching. The units have full kitchens and plenty of BBQs for guests to use. Right next door is a nice park where you can rent water toys like kayaks, SUPs, and the like. Overall great little place near downtown South Lake Tahoe.”

“Good location and excellent service. The room was spacious, but the beds could be more comfortable.Rooms: Spacious, but beds can be more comfortable.Nearby activities: Lots of food and family-friendly spots around.Safety: Very safe.Walkability: 10 to 20 mins walk for spots around used to enjoy.”

“I give this place 5 stars, location is walking distance to heavenly gondola, casinos and all shops/restaurants! Room was exceptionally clean and cozy, did not make their breakfast but they serve continental breakfast. Don't hesitate to ”

“Unit Type:   1 Bedroom - 2nd FloorOccupancy:   4Kitchen:   Partial KitchenThe room was beautiful, and the kitchen fully equipped with everything imaginable. Two head shower was great. Clean towels daily per request. Floors & groats was super clean. We were pleasantly surprised. Continental breakfast with flavored coffee was great for an easy free breakfast. It is right on the strip so it was very nice walking around. Casinos and restaurants all right there. The best part was it snowed for my daughter's 24th Birthday. We had a great time.Rooms: Extremely niceNearby activities: Everything is closeSafety: Very safe atmosphereWalkability: Very nice walk with stores, casinos, & restaurants. Beautiful walk with Christmas lights already on the trees lining the strip.Food & drinks: Very nice restaurants close by Stardust LodgeNoteworthy details: I am a stickler for clean carpet, clean floors, especially clean groats. No sneezing at all in these clean rooms. Great”

“This hotel is remodeled. It looks very new. Room is clean and updated. Breakfast is okay. I wish they have oatmeal and more fruit. Fruit run out all the time. That I like about this hotel is free changing EV, very Per-friendly. This is the first time I have seen so many dogs in the hotel. No one complains no dog allowed in the lobby even the dog barked. People are chatting and enjoying the time with friends and families in the lobby with their dog. The lobby is quite big with a bar. Coffee and hot water provides at all time. I love it. I will definitely come back here.”

“Georgeous hotel in the heart of Heavenly Valley! This family friendly hotel has it all, kitchenette, fireplace, comfortable rooms, gym, swimming pool, close to skiing and hiking, biking, great restaurants and more! Everything you could want in a resort hotel! We love staying with family and friends and come as often as possible!”

“Stayed at a two bedroom villa during Springbreak! The rooms are spacious , right next to the Gondola that takes you up to Heavenly Ski Resort. Full kitchen with full size refrigerator, oven , stovetop, microwave and dishwasher. Large living room with fireplace , two separate bedrooms with spacious King size bed. It is two rooms with connecting door and separate entrances. Good for families with older kids or two couples. I believe the two bedroom claims can accommodate up to 8 people even though we only have 3 We enjoyed the place. Do have a restaurant / bar onsite as well as gym , pool , hot tub The location is the best , centralized for Heavenly. Near casinos , shopping, restaurants. Definitely ?”

“Perfect, newly renovated rooms with enough space for two. We stayed here during the winter season on a budget snowboard trip, so the full kitchenette was key. Keep in mind it’s less than $100 a night to stay, so yes it could have been cleaned better between guests but it’s definitely not dirty or dingy. No issues and easy check ”

“Loved our stay here, the cavin was clean and cozy. Perfect for our family of 5, we had everything we needed and the owner is very nice and attentive to our needs. We would definitely came back, thanks Cedar Pines Resort for making our stay here so pleasant!”

“We loved staying at the Tahoe Valley Lodge. The staff is kind, the rooms are clean, and the property is very well kept. It is a charming place to stay with uniquely furnished rooms and is close to everything we wanted to do!”

“It's 9 minutes to Heavenly ski resort. Safeway is right next to the hotel. Lake Tahoe is in front of the hotel. It's a perfect location. Kitchen is practical and convenient for a family. We will definitely come back.”

“My partner hurt her knee snowboarding and ended up in the hospital and therefore we were unable to make it up to the 3rd floor balcony room we originally reserved. They were extremely understanding and gave me a refund on the room so we could just go home. Not all businesses will do things like this for you anymore. I will be booking a room here next year and will hopefully actually get to stay. Make sure you book through their website (((:”

“Hey, for a refurbished 60's motel, the owners did a pretty nice update. Very reasonable price for Tahoe, located on hwy 50 next to a great restaurant called Ernie's. The motel owner was super friendly and very accommodating. I plan to stay here during ski season too.”

“Such an amazing place that we've come to for 4+ years in a row now! Outside of the casino area and every room has a hot tub! This place is our go to when coming to Tahoe. I proposed here in Nov 2023 and it will always be a memorable place to stay every time we come up!”

“This was my first time to stay at The Jeffrey Hotel and I must say it's very clean, conveniently located close to the stateline and to the main part of town to a bunch of restaurants and stores as well as Harrah's and Harvey's, and a few miles drive to the beaches. It's a contactless check in and check out which is convenient as well as a keyless entry. You are provided your own code to get in to the rooms. The bathroom is walk in and super clean, no dirty grout, 2 showerheads on both sides, a ledge that can hold shampoo containers etc) and the hotel supplies their own bath soap/shampoo/conditioner, a window in the bathroom also is great and it helps, a clean sink with an updated faucet that I love (reminds me of a waterfall) - nice touch. They've also supplied black towels for make up removal and the other a bigger (feet) towel which I thought was pretty smart so all those white towels don't get heavily stained with make up. The only thing I would suggest is possibly provide an additional set of towels (bath/hand) because that helps especially if staying more than a night there which we had to ask for but luckily Roxanne was there the night we checked in and she was able to give us some. The bed was great but could use a topper to make it more comfortable. We left a computer bag the morning we checked out and the hotel contacted us via text and also left me a voicemail. Luckily we were still in town and we were able to drive back to pick it up from Roxanne. She was great because she remembered us and our car in that parking stall that morning we had checked out and the bag was in that spot. There were a bunch of us checking out that morning too. Thank you Roxanne for keeping our computer bag! We appreciate it. Also, thank you for granting our request for an early check in.”

“The room was very small, dirty , the TV was not working, the plug outlets were broken, the stairs to my room ( room number 269 and 270) were closed and there is only one elevator, for which you have to wait 10 minutes every time. Sure this was a motel very sub par then holiday inn. On top of it there were people overcrowded in the breakfast area. It was the worst experience being an IHG member.”

“Jessica at the front desk was awesome, friendly and accommodated our needs definitely recommend this place, we had access to the beach and the place is definitely pet friendly, we had dinner at the boat house and the food and presentation was amazing! The service all around was spectacular! Definitely coming back!”

“Super positively surprised. After some reviews we weren’t sure what to expect and booked it because of the price. But everything was very clean, the staff super friendly and we slept great. So definitely a recommendation.”

“I cannot say anything bad about this place. The room was clean and had a fridge, mikrowave and usb charging port. The manager was very kind and made coffee in the morning. Can recommend thia place.”

“I couldn't understand the recent reviews, room was clean, and a value for a last minute booking. We did have to call for help because there was no one in the main office, but I honestly feel like it was easier than having to check in. We got a digital code and we were in quick. Easy to book, exactly as described, and no issues what so everNearby activities: Casinos, bars, restaurantsWalkability: Able to walk to a variety of places”

“For more than 30 years I'm guest of Motel 6 South Lake Tahoe. Everything was perfect in my last stay. The room cleaness, the front desk personel, everything. I strongly recommend this motel .”

“We booked last minute to rest while traveling. The owner is super kind, and the room was very comfortable and clean. Very affordable rate.I travel frequently for work, and let me tell you, this is the best pillow/mattress I've slept on in a while. Better than a lot of the nicer hotels I've stayed out recently.”

“I like about this hotel was very convenient when you are going to Casinos during night, You can just walk. The staff was super helpful and friendly.Super comfy, clean room and great location.”
