It was odd to have to check in at a different property, about 1/4 down the road. Unsure if there was onsite management at Apex, but we didn’t need anything. If staying, be sure you don’t get one of the units on the far right…which are under units on a second story (most units are part of a building that do not have second story). Walls are thin, the occupants above us were heard being intimate (as assumed by female expletitives at interval). The rooms are super basic, expected for the price. Beds weren’t super plush, perhaps a little aged. The rooms were heated (we were there in January)…bathrooms were not - so we needed to leave the door open to keep it from freezing in there. Refrigerator was loud and made a constant clicking sounds (we turned it off to make it stop). We booked last minute and were just looking for a place to sleep between ski days. This was “ok”, but wouldn’t be my first choice if we had been able to plan this a few weeks earlier.

Disliked: Amenities
The hot tub was closed. The room was very noisy to sleep at night due to the weird heating device that was generating horrible noises, it was also heating the room very unevenly, grilling right next to it, very cold at night if away from it. The bedding was thin and uncomfortable. We booked 2 nights, and ran away after one night.

Love this place

The staff is always so nice and professional. The rooms are clean, plenty of parking, it's quiet. The towels are okay but if you stay in hotels a lot like I do, you know they don't use softener due to people having allergies. The sheets are fresh and always clean. The water pressure is good too. The pillows are amazing!. All in all, I have stayed here before and will do so again.

Great place close to everything

Was up in Tahoe doing a few hikes and this inn was a delight. Very close to everything in South Lake Tahoe, maybe 10 min drive to Stateline? Walkable restaurants and coffee Nextdoor and across the street. Hot tub is a nice touch and there’s a GRILL guests can use! I had no idea till my last day there. Pretty cool. Definitely staying again!
