Awesome location. Public beach right across street. 7/11 right next door. This’ll be my go to spot going forward.

Great value! Really liked the size of the place, would definitely stay again (though if you have a dust allergy/are sensitive, you'll definitely feel it, the place was clean but a friend with dust problems was coughing all night)

Ed was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The room was much bigger than we expected, and had a microwave and mini fridge. It's right across from a public beach and pier which was beautiful, there is also a restaurant. We also enjoyed the cafe down the street for breakfast. Great proximity to Northstar, we will definitely stay here again!

Only redeeming qualities are location and price. Arrived to check in and there was nobody to check in with. Phone calls went unanswered. Other people were waiting too. Waited around for 30 minutes and someone renting a room felt sorry for us and gave us the cell phone number for the person who works tje office, but no answer. An hour and a half after arriving, we finally get a call. Finally get a room and immediately regret it. Bathroom had ants and a funky smell (like cat pee). TV didn't work. No ac so the only way to get air moving is the window. Pillows were flat and musty. Thank goodness it was only one night.

Mid… prepare to be uncomfortable and adjust expectations. You are looking at this place because of location, price point and availability. We just made it work.

The owner was really helpful and accommodating to an early check in. Rooms were clean. The building is old but overall it was great at the price point.

Rather retro, but the owner is super friendly. He met us when we arrived. The room is old but has everything we need. Lake Tahoe beach and an upscale restaurant are right across the street.
