I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were impeccably clean and spacious, equipped with a full kitchen that included a convenient microwave and refrigerator, all arranged on such short notice. The service, especially the housekeeping, was top-notch. The location couldn't have been better, being very close to all the casinos, within walking distance of a lovely beach, and also strategic for easy access to the Heavenly gondola and the Casinos. However, the dining options were a bit limited, even though they offered delicious home-made ice-cream.

I was thrilled with this hotel's convenient location right by Harveys, making it easy to catch the shuttle to various ski resorts. The residence is in a quiet area close to other South Lake Tahoe casinos. The rooms were immaculate, boasting a full kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, perfect for a quick bite. However, the lack of energy bars for dining was a letdown. The service was top-notch, especially by the housekeeping staff, ensuring a comfortable stay.
