Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino
Very nice facility, but as with so many "resorts" now, there are many add-on charges beyond what the room rate originally appears. We did have an excellent meal and service at the Osteria Sierra restaurant at the hotel.

Pepper Tree Inn
Outdated rooms need some updating but overall comfortable beds. If you are a smoker make sure you leave the property to smoke or you will get yelled at for smoking outside of the room on property.

Crown Motel
Being able to sit right outside your room to view Lake Tahoe at its finest was wonderful. Could see the snow covered mountains and woke up one morning to a beautiful sunrise. So worth the trip.
