Close to Nevada border, so we could enjoy casino, hard rock cafe. All dorms have view to the lake and mountains, very relax. Walk distance to local commerce such as CVS and Safeway. Close to hevenly ski resort.

This hotel is very nice, it's in such a wonderful place and it's affordable. (Even on a budget.) I would highly recommend this to place to anyone and everyone who wants to go Lake Tahoe. I especially liked that the lake was literally 2 minute walk from the room. It was also good to have such a variety of water activities right there! They have boating, jet skiing, para-sailing, kayaking, paddle boating, and more. This hotel was located right in the middle of all the action. There are many places to shop, eat, and just hang out, all which are all with in walking distance. This trip was memorable, mostly because of this resort! Come experience the fun in Tahoe!

Overall I would recommend this hotel, not least for its location right at the foot of the Gondola, and walking distance to lots of good food and the casinos. However know what you're getting into. It is a "resort" hotel, so lots of kids. The rooms aren't particularly sound proof, but at least the noise dies down at a reasonable hour. The booking was made for a room with a queen-sized sofabed, but we were initially put in a room with a "twin" (looked more like a single to me), until I complained. The room description also said bath. It was more like a footbath, with the drain so low, you'd only ever get about 5 ins of water in there. The resort activities were fun though, and if you have kids, lots of stuff for them.
