This little motel is just what we needed in South Tahoe. Off the main drag and walkable to many restaurants for breakfast and dimner. Theoutside is fetting a fresh coat of paint and our room was recently renovated. Very clean, great king mattress and quiet. The proprietor was very friendly and is a hard worker...you can tell by the beautiful lawn! If youre looking for a clean no frills place, this is it!

Room was clean but some simple fixes would go a LONG way. Our shower curtain had to have been several years old. The shower head came to my forehead- I am 5'4". The towels were super rough and old. Beds and room were clean, however, the bed and pillows were super hard. We went to Ross to buy pillows while we there because it was so uncomfortable. Asked for a late check out, they would only give 30 minutes and when I went back to get ice at 12:30, no one was at the hotel. Would not stay here again even though it was clean, just bc they won't do a later check out than 30 minutes and the beds were so uncomfortable. But it was clean!
