Everything was great. Only thing that needs fixing is the shower head. It is set so it shoots past the tub onto floor. You have to hold the handle off wall mount so it doesn’t get water everywhere

Stayed here last year and it was clean and comfortable and a great location. This year our first night I went to turn the shower on and the handle fell off the wall. They moved us to another room only to learn that our sink had a gnat infestation. The pillows are tiny and flat and the shower head clearly hasn’t been cleaned of hard water build up in the nozzles ever. Shower door handle was loose and we feared it might fall off. Never experienced any issues last year but this year will force us to find another place to stay in the future.

We have stayed here before, it is older but great location on the marina, walk to restaurants etc. This time however, the construction on 89 in the middle of the night right outside our window was awful. We will maybe stay again but think we should have been warned.

Enjoyed my weekend trip to Tahoe City. The location was great, after a full day out at the lake. Check in was quick, friendly. Once settled in my room walked the strip that has many options for dinner an shopping. Room was comfortable an at night it was very quiet. Check out was very simple with phenomenal service. I will definitely be coming back.
