Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino
There is nothing special about the room. It was clean and well stocked, but for that price range, I would say it was underwhelming.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe
The room was sparkling clean, incredibly spacious, and perfectly designed. Its close proximity to the gondola and the village made it easy to enjoy everything—there was so much to do just a short walk away.

Everline Resort and Spa, Lake Tahoe
Such a comfortable stay. The lift is right next to the hotel which is amazing... The gym is nice and the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna amenities are a nice bonus. Love staying there for my ski trips.
