No air conditioning except for masters bedroom. Might be better to have portable AC in all rooms during summer. Most of of us, unable to sleep because it was hot when we went. 90s weather.

"The only thing I didn’t is the parking. You have to pay for parking."

"Clean decent place for the price"

Harrah's Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"It's so hard to put into words. Nice big room with 2 bed AND 2 bathrooms. We were able to check in earlier than 4pm - perhaps by an hour - and do not believe that we were charged for it even though it is noted that may be a possibility for early check in or late check out. You had to treat the room like it was your child. There may be obvious faults but you love it. So a partial view of the lake. As I mentioned the room was spacious and generous. The bed was comfortable although the pillows were not as they were two king pillows and quite generously filled. The AC only worked if set at 62. The fridge was turned on MAX and our pop exploded on the 2nd night. We had to wrangle our own extra set of towels so there was no cleaning during our 3 night stay. It was quiet for the most part. First night we had a late night walker above us but no issues the remainder of our stay. We enjoyed ourselves."

"Nice room, clean, friendly, good location. Only complaint was the noise in the morning from housekeeping and blowers outside. We actually thought there was an earthquake when housekeeping rolled the cqrt by on the outside deck! Big bathroom with two vanities was a plus. Overall, it was a nice room, price, and stay. We would stay again. We did not have the breakfast, so not sure about that."
