Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Well it was an amazing stay. EXCEPT for when I went to order food on the Friday night that arrived and NOBODY could help me. Other than that the rooms were great JOSEPH at the front desk was a delight!"

evo Hotel Tahoe City

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and personable. Room was clean. I appreciated the location."

Pepper Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"likes: EXCELLENT location in the middle of Tahoe City, available parking, had a fridge with freezer, clean linens and comfortable beds, shower pressure was fine and the bathroom was generally clean, pretty view of the lake from the upper floors, good check-in/check-out hours, had a system in place to contact staff if something was needed after hours (did not need this). oh and they allow dogs!! concerns: 1. AC would have been helpful - we discovered too late that there was a fan, and that may have sufficed, but, without either, it was hard to sleep even though it had only been ~80degrees that day. 2. the lower garage appeared to have been last used during ski season and was filthy - old sand, rocks, debris, dirty walls and dark/dingy. it hadn't been swept, etc in months. (The main parking area was fine.) The elevator was old and slow and definitely needed a clean but we were grateful it worked (we were on the 7th floor). The landing/open air hallway outside of the rooms definitely needed sweeping and mopping. overall, you are paying for the location and the place is clean enough where it matters. Attention to cleaning in the common, outdoor areas would go a long way towards making this place better value for the money"

Family Reunion Tahoe Rental

8/10 Good

"Communication with the host was excellent and prompt. This cabin has wonderful 5-star amenities and cleanliness. Parking was adequate for our family, and the location was close to activities we had planned - hiking, frisbee golf, beaches, playgrounds, and shopping. Bedrooms were comfortable and roomy, with plenty of bedding and towels. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, a large refrigerator, and a large gas cook stove. We enjoyed the living areas, kitchen, and spacious outside deck areas. All in all, we had a great time and this cabin met our needs well. We happened to visit during one of the warmest weeks of the summer, and the cabin was quite warm during late afternoon and early evening hours. We were very thankful for all the fans in every room, and the cabin cooled off well during the overnight hours."
