3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean. In-room jetted tub worked well. Nice large shower. Bed not very comfortable for me, but I'm very picky due to back issues. Ice machine was a bit of a walk and they only have one on property, which want convenient. The vending machine in same room as ice machine and guest laundry facility and was kinda sad. Card reader on the machine was not working, so if you didn't have cash, you were out of luck. We didn't need to use the vending machine, just an observation. Had a poolside room, which also had a pull out sofa bed, which we didn't need, as it was just my wife and I. Had a fenced area just outside the room adjacent to the pool, with a table and chairs, with a gate that opened to the pool, which was nice. Even when pool was busy, wasn't noisy. Property is pet friendly, also. Overall was a great experience and walking distance from the casinos, shops and restaurants in Stateline. We would definitely stay here again. Front office staff very friendly."
