Pros: The location and proximity to Harvey's (we went to a concert) is the only decent thing about this place.
Cons: The room smelled like chemicals/disinfectant, although the room did have a mini fridge it was put it such a weird place that you had to climb on and around one side if the bed to get to it. The shower was so desperately in need of remodeling the tile literally was stained with mold. The beds were in need if new pillows and an updated blanket/bedspread. I was honestly afraid to climb in. All this for $188/night. Wow!!!
Good
6.5
Pros: The location. You're walking distance from everything. Right in the center. But you're off the Main Street, which makes getting your car out way easier.
Cons: It's kind of run down and scary haha But my opinion is, I don't plan to spend my vacation in a hotel room. So it was ok.
Mediocre
3.7
Pros: The location is great because it's one of the closest motels to the Heavenly downtown. Cheap.
Cons: Dirty, broken window and furniture, no towels etc, unorganized staff, ANTS!!!!

Pros: First time in Tahoe, Went with the cheapest place my guy and i could find, But turns out: great value for location. We walked to the beach and to the shops/lifts and casinos. Staff was very friendly. Had both a regular king and also a suite with fireplace and jacuzzi (also for a good deal). Unless you're just super picky about not having somewhat dated decor or your breakfast, I wouldn't stay anywhere else for a higher price.
Cons: What you read about the basic breakfast is true, but the rooms come with a fridge. To improve: Getting a toaster for some bagels/breads would be nice to carb up for a day on the slopes.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: The location is just 5-min walk from the Heavenly Gondola. Price is good. Breakfast was ok. Donuts, coffee, tea, banana, and apple. *the apple was just a little bit sour. Internet was ok.
Cons: I was disappointed by the room service. On the day when I went to Heavenly gondola, the maid didn't clean my room. I was frustrated at that time since I expected to have a clean room after having tiring activities on top. Microwave is too small. Can't warm food with a big box.
Good
6.8
Pros: We got a killer deal of under $40 for our first night and $50 for our second. It was off season, but even so that's really good. The room was clean, there was a bigger than usual hotel fridge and a hot tub available outside.
Cons: The wifi was basically useless unless you were right next to the office and the TV was from the end of the last century. While we were there I saw them installing new wifi routers and TVs though so I suspect these are both short term problems. The rooms are a bit antiquated, but fine. Really none of these cons count for much if you get a deal like we did.

Pros: We've stayed here a few times and it's always great! The location is perfect. It's walking distance to the gondola for heavenly, stores, food, movie theater etc. the staff is friendly. The rooms are clean and gave a fridge and microwave. The beds are comfortable and there is wifi. Can't beat the price!
Cons: The hot tub wasn't hot enough.

Pros: My SIL were so impressed with this place. We thought for the cheap price we were going to be staying in something gross and run down but this was quite opposite. The rooms are nice and clean, the staff is amazing, and we had no idea how close they were to down town and the lake. We walked to both places with small children. We would definitely stay her again. Had a wonderful time.

Pros: This is just at the foot of the Heavenly ski resort in South Lake Tahoe. It is in the middle of a bunch of other small hotels so there are lots of other travelers to socialize with. The staff here were so friendly!

Cons: The mattress was a little stiff.
Good
6.8
Pros: nice location, low affordable rates for the area, beds and bathroom were clean. There's a fridge in the room.
Cons: This place needs an update. The decor/furniture in the room look like they were all from the 60's/70's. The carpet definitely looks like it's from the 70's . About the only thing that's somewhat re-modeled is the bathroom. The main room is pretty small and feels cramped. There's basically 1 eletric plug in the room which itself is already on a multiplug with the tv and fridge plugged in. There's not much light in the room, needs more lamps, and I really don't like the soft yellow lights. The microwave / laundry / ice room really needs some work. The microwave is from the 80's (but it was clean!), the washing machine sounds like it's about to explode, and what's the point of a coke machine if you don't ever keep it filled?

Pros: The location was great and the day clerk was very helpful. He helped me with traffic advice and alternate routes to my destination. The room heater worked really well, which was nice!
Cons: The phone did not work and my items would not stay plugged into the outlets. There was a power strip under the desk, but it was pretty full and hard to reach. I felt as though I was imposing when I asked for help at midnight to get the people upstairs to finally stop playing ball with their dog. The night clerk said he would call, but I never heard the phone, and it made no difference anyway. Lucky dog got to play for a few hours!

Pros: Good location - everything in South Lake is in walking distance.
Cons: The room wasn't clean. There were stains on the carpet, walls and ceiling. The room hadn't been updated in years, which is fine if you're paying $40/night but I was charged $180/night due to a festival taking place at the time. The water in the shower went from scorching hot to freezing cold in seconds. The walls were extremely thin and everything could be heard between the walls and outside of the building. The bed was uncomfortable to sleep in. This place is okay at best if you're looking to spend a small amount of money to have a bed to sleep in, but being charged $180.00/night for a room in such condition is disappointing and not right.

Pros: The rooms were large and clean with a lot of natural light, the beds were comfortable, and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Great location by the Heavenly gondola. Everything worked; it was a cold weekend with lots of snow but the heater kept us plenty warm. They provide snacks in the room for fairly reasonable prices, which was a nice touch.
Cons: The walls are thin, so sound carries. Our room had an adjoining room next door and we could hear a lot of music and talking through the doors that separate the rooms. Fortunately, any loud noise seemed to stop fairly early in the evening, so it didn't affect our sleep at all.
Excellent

Pros: My dog got to stay comfortably with us and there was a gas fireplace to keep us warm. There was also a kitchenette with everything you need to make yourself a meal instead of having to order a pizza. There was enough room for us to also host some friends over before walking to the casino. The bath soap and shampoo and conditioner was organic.
Cons: There needs to be more mirrors, there was only one in the bathroom above the sink. A body mirror is always needed in a hotel.

I loved how cute the green buildings were, just made them feel homely. Clean, beds were comfortable. Quiet. Staff very friendly. Water pressure was good. Loved the mini fridge came in handy with left overs. Great overall stay.:)
Cons: When we got there, there were no towels in the bathroom. When we called the front desk and asked for towels they never came until we had problems with the TV. ( cord on tv gets loose and you have to unplug it to turn it on again). Shower had worn out spots on the floor. Furniture was randomly placed. TV cords were everywhere. Not enough outlets to plug in phones, computers, etc.

Pros: I loved how we could walk to the shopping and restaurants. We were able to walk to a hiking trail as well!

Pros: Enjoyed our stay; found it last minute during a ski trip we wanted to extend. Everything from the front desk service to the decor to the comfort of the beds was a cut above other places I've seen in South Lake Tahoe. The outside is the most dated part.

Pros: After reading the reviews for this hotel I was unsure if I was going to enjoy my stay at the hacienda. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very gracious. The spa tub was very nice. Definitely worth the price. The hotel itself has a cabin type of appeal. It was a very comfortable stay.

Pros: The comfort of the bed and the location, nothing else. It is close to restaurants, grocery stores and the lake.
Cons: The worst hotel I ever stayed in! Definitely overpriced for that extent of dirt, broken facilities and kindness of the staff. Leftover food and mold in the microwave and refrigerator, dirt everywhere including toilet, shower and sink. Broken shutters, so that you were able to see the room from the outside, staff tried to hide this with a lamp. In comparison, holes in the wall, no electricity outlets and very poor internet connection were the less bad factors. The stay at that hotel riuned my vacation and the staff did not even listen to me when I wanted to check-out earlier.

Pros: Hotel is bare bones but it has what you need. Staff was responsive and polite.
Cons: If you get the hotel ahead of time and pay <100 per night, it's worth it if you just need a quick place to crash. If you are shopping last minute when prices are high and similar across the board, I would give something else a shot. The hotel just feels old, not very well maintained. Everything feels like the bare minimum, which again isn't bad if you're just crashing for a couple of nights. If you plan on spending any time in the room, however, look elsewhere.

Pros: This is run down, dirty and out of date. They put zero $ into it. I've stayed at several motels in SLT that are not great, but this is so bad its scary. Staff look like meth heads.
Cons: They overbooked so we got the room with a large built in jacuzzi spa bath tub. That was fun! But it took a long time for the water to heat up to fill it.
"Located in Gardner Mountain, this motel is 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from Barton Memorial Hospital and within 3 miles (5 km) of Magic Carpet Golf and Lake Tahoe Balloons. Washoe Meadows State Park and Lake Valley State Recreation Area are also within 3 miles (5 km). "

Pros: Wanted to do a Tahoe trip before the weather turned cold. Was able to afford it after finding a great rate through Kayak. The hotel was simple and cozy and also clean and well kept. Room had new bathroom and the perk of a fridge and microwave. Location was quite close to the lake, attractions and busisnesses. It is easy to find off the main roadway. pretty peaceful overall.
Cons: Building is older, so walls are a bit thin. There was no card to put out to decline room service. (I suppose I could have called front desk but didn't bother) Small space, not good for children.
Good
7.1
Pros: The staff was polite and curteous, they accommodated my pet even though they didn't have to. The room wasn't anything special but it was nice and cozy, it had its own heater, refrigerator and microwave. The location was great, a couple blocks away from Safeway and Ihop and about 1 1/2 miles away from Heavenly. Good hotel if you're budget conscious.
Cons: The carpet was damp (most likely from a problem in the foundation as there were minor lumps in the flooring under the carpet). The walls were very thin, we could hear people in the room across the hall from us talking clear as day and the room above us had loud squeaky floors in certain places but overall good little hotel for the weekend if you're on a budget.
Excellent
8.5
Pros: The room was pretty much as expected: clean, warm and featuring all the amenities listed on their website. The staff was friendly and efficient. It's located right in the center of South Lake Tahoe with easy access to plenty of local restaurants, casinos and hiking spots and is extremely convenient. Most of our destinations were within a mile of the motel.
Cons: My only complaint is that some of the bath towels had light stains on them. They were obviously clean and had been washed but it was still a little off-putting considering the quality of the rest of the room.
Okay

Pros: price was acceptable and the location was okay...WiFi is better than it was on previous stays

Pros: For a cheap one night stay, this place was perfect. Close to everything in Tahoe, easy to get in and out.

Pros: Nothing the place was disgusting.
Cons: It was zero degrees outside and our heater stopped working as well as our water. We asked for a refund and they said no because it happens when you stay in Tahoe. I'm disputing hi now but recommend finding a different place that won't treat you like an animal in the dead of winter when you wake up at 6am seeing your own breathe and shivering.

Pros: Great location for South Lake Tahoe. Less than a mile from the casinos and heavenly gondola. Short drive from Emerald Bay and Camp Richardson. Perfect for a weekend getaway on a budget. The rooms were covered in wood paneling so it felt like being in a little cabin and was very cozy.
Cons: The TVs had a pretty limited channel selection. The WiFi was also a little slow.

Pros: Literally 1 minute walk to shops.
Cons: First we got there and the staff tried to put us in a room where you could see t hr ought a hole in the door. The inside of the door had been repaired (horribly I might add). They ended up moving us. The pool hadn't been working in ages, nor the hot tub. Free breakfast was cereal that sits there all day. Who knows how old it is. The wifi is so slow it really is useless. No ac! We came back in the middle of the day and our door to our room was wide open. With no one around with our stuff up for grabs for whoever dared. They told us this is common practice. We stood there for 5 minutes, still no maid in sight! Our door was the only one open! We prepaid our whole 6 night stay through kayak. When my husband went to return the key to the office she tried charging him $50 for not flushing the toilet one day (there plumbing was horrible. Had to flush 2 or 3 times each time!) The maid who seen the toilet apparently got sick and had to go home! So we had to pay her! Lol This place is such a joke!

Pros: Cheap and affordable. Literally right across from Heavenly Gondola, 5 minute walk to restaurants and casinos, 10 minute walk to beach. Manager was super helpful when I asked about Heavenly and other water activities. He gave me a bunch of brochures.. A lot of them had coupons inside. :) overall, it did its purpose. Provided my boyfriend and I with a bed to sleep on and a decent bathroom. We were outdoors most of the day and Tahoe was just a quick stopover during our road trip, didn't want to spend too much, so $60/2 nights was a great deal in my opinion.
Cons: Not that I would use it anyway, but our room was right in front of the pool. It had chairs in it and was dirty, an eye sore. Nevertheless, it wasn't a big deal at all. Rooms and bathroom could be cleaner, but again, I'm not complaining.. For the location and price I got, I actually expected it to be worse than it really was.

Pros: The room was very clean and had plenty of heat. The TV was nice and there were a good number of channels. The breakfast was just okay with cereal, coffee, and fruit. There was a nice mini fridge and microwave.
Cons: I was charged $3.00 more than I was originally quoted. The pool was filled in with cement. The carpet on the stairs was in terrible condition. The fence was rusty and needs paint. The bed was worn out and saggy. The bedspread had a cigarette burn in it and some of the furniture needs updating.

Pros: Location. Walking distance to casinos and the beaches at Tahoe.
Cons: Small room, run down overall. For the money spent ($130 a night), a very poor value for the money. I know it's high season in Tahoe, so rooms are expensive and at $130 a night, compared to rates at other motels near by, this was less expensive, but I got the feeling that because of the location, the owners here don't have to work very hard to sell out. It shows.
