Nice place overall. No ice machine and the pool has no water. Shower is beyond tiny and has a not stating to run it for a while as it takes time to get hot. After 20 minutes it was still only room temp. and could not be adjusted.

Worst place to stay in Tahoe
The mattress has broken springs, the door was already unlocked when we arrived. The heater was broken and the room smaller than advertised. The staff who checked us in was grumpy. I can go on and on

They could do SO much better…
Old squeaky bed, crappy sheets, pillows and towels.
You get what you pay for so there is no point in going on.
