"Room was very small but well maintained. It seemed clean except I did get a large bug bite when I was sleeping. There’s no reception on site so you have to text if you need anything. Conveniently located and price was reasonable. Room had everything one needed, which was great, just quite cramped, but I would stay again if in the area,"

Top South Lake Tahoe Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe

Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent
"Room was very clean and the beds super comfy. The only complaint is that the shower has one door, away from the spigot. You have to reach way over into the cold spray to adjust the temperature before getting in. The hotel is a quick block away from Caesar's amphitheater, which is a great thing if you are going to a show...which we were. Might be a bit noisy to folks skipping the concert."
