They charge $40 pet fee!!! And their rooms have very austere floors. Not very hard to clean up if there was an accident. Also the facility is 17 miles from the nearest place to get anything to eat.

This was our second stay this year. Clean and comfortable. Fantastic staff too. They went above and beyond to provide me with ice and more for when I returned with an injury from skiing. Very accommodating. Wish I could give more stars. Will return. Thank you!

Great mountain motel

Very nicely remodeled motel for our trip to Sierra-at-Tahoe. Comfy bed, clean modern bathroom, fridge and microwave, super friendly staff, good shop next door that's coffee by day, bar at night. The grounds by the river look beautiful with firepits and chairs, would be great to come back in the summer I think.

Great find

This place had everything we needed! It was great to have a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker in the room. Very clean, comfy, and warm. Free home-made snacks on arrival and in the morning was a nice touch:)

Great place with Friendly staff

The Hotel has what you need for a quick overnight on the way up to the slopes. I appreciate the hardwood floor, it feels clean, white walls makes it feel updated Bathroom is updated and spacious with great shampoo and conditioner. And the staff is superfriendly. Its totally fine to stay a second night. But we miss to have a place close by for to get dinner

Great spot to rest between explorations!

Fabulous room and location for outdoor exploration! I’d hoped to do a little work while staying and found the wifi and limited nearby amenities less than ideal for those purposes, but otherwise it was awesome - kind people, clean, etc.

I actually loved this little motel. Recently renovated, theres nothing close in the area. Closest place to eat is over 45 minutes away. Theres a coffee shop down the street with bizarre hours.
