8/10 Good
"Very nice place next to Hwy 80. Even though we stayed on the end closer to the highway, the noise was not intrusive. Property in good shape. They have a decent free breakfast buffet. Great location for enjoying Tahoe, and price was outstanding. Overall would recommend, a good choice for this category of hotel."
