    Room warm so need to rely on fan and open window.

    Staff friendliness. Decor/ambience. Granola treat When leaving.

    Honestly nothing.

    The bed and bedding were possibly the most comfortable I have ever experienced in any hotel. The room was an excellent size with a small patio outside. There was a small kitchenette area that we didn’t use but would be very handy if you were going to be there for longer. It’s about 10 minutes walk down to the main town but out the way enough that you’re not bothered by noise. Would definitely stay here again.

    The wifi was pretty slow, could’ve been better!

    The location was super close to downtown/other shops/restaurants/the lake! The lodge and the room itself were beautiful and super clean. The bathroom was spacious and the soap products were nice. I don’t know what sheets they use but they’re super super soft. We arrived a bit after the check in time but they were very accommodating and were able to let us check in ourselves. Lastly there was free parking which was amazing!

    Everything was good, not much to complain about. Maybe it would be nice to get a breakfast offered in Hotel, but Red Hut is close and had a very tradiditional american breakfast :-). Elevator or someone who would carry, just to bring the luggage in the upper area would help.

    Checkin was quick, very friendly and perfect. The Hotel is located in the woods. It has a very nice lodge and woody design. Outsstanding design. Have a look at the Hotel website.... We loved it. The rooms are cosy nice and clean. Beds are comfortable we had a restful sleep. Room had a little fire place which was lovely and created a warm. I would definetly book it next time again when going to south lake tahoe. Checkout was as well very quick + good, but we didn't loved it becasuse we had to leave :-)

    The stand up shower setup made it very difficult to start shower without spraying water all over bathroom floor.

    The lobby entrance was very welcoming with a mountain cabin feel. The staff member who welcomed us (Bri) was very kind and efficient. We loved the decorations throughout the room and buildings. Many thoughtful touches including warm robes and slippers to use for walking outside in the cold to hot tub, chocolate on the bed at arrival, ice scraper to use on our car which was handy. The room was clean, large and bed was very comfortable. We didn’t really use kitchenette but it was a nice option to have.

    Just a few very minor complaints. The hot tub is looking very green, when we went down there in the morning it was so green wasn’t sure if it was cleaned or what not, the temperature was however perfect. I booked a suite specifically for the jet spa and only a few jets worked out of all. When I turned them on long black hairs came out of the jets, maybe from the last person used. I had to clean it before feeling comfortable taking a bath. Other than that the room was perfect

    I adore this property. It resembles a hallmark movie. It is so cozy from the rooms to the lobby and everything about it. I will likely choose this property for every stay in Tahoe
