Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

4/10 Poor

"Bait and switch. Our reservation was quoted at $215 and somehow ended up at $280 after all the added fees. The Golden Nugget is the Spirit Airlines of hotels — they charge you for everything: $25 parking, $25 for early check-in (even one minute before 4pm), $40 resort fees, late checkout fees... What made it worse was the check-in experience. They force everyone to wait until exactly 4pm, so naturally a large line forms all at once. I arrived at 2pm and they wouldn’t let me into the room a minute early unless I paid extra. By 4pm, I stood in line nearly 30 minutes while only two front desk employees handled the crowd. It completely changed the tone of the trip. I wanted this stay to feel special, but the hotel experience took away from that. The room itself felt tired and outdated, and the water pressure was deplorable. And the air conditioning unit in the room sounded like a hamster wheel on steroids. With the number of hotel choices available in the Tahoe area, I wouldn’t stay here again."

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

6/10 Okay

"Our stay at Hilton Vacation Club South Lake Tahoe did not feel like a relaxing vacation experience. The property felt more focused on timeshare sales every time your work in the door, rather than guest comfort and hospitality. One major disappointment was the lack of daily room service, which guest has be scheduled well in advance. The pool area service was also inconvenient. There were no drinks or meal services available poolside, so I had to walk to the bar to place food orders and then wait 30–45 minutes before picking them up and returning to the pool. Another frustrating policy was that late check-outs were only offered to guests who attended the timeshare presentation sessions, which made the experience feel even more sales-driven. Considering we paid over $500 per night, the overall experience did not meet expectations. I have stayed at other Hilton Vacation Club properties before and received much better service and hospitality."

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Heavenly Village Area

6/10 Okay

"There were whiskers on the shower wall when we got in. The rest of the room felt clean. Even though the outdoor pool is out of service, that space could be tidied up a bit. The continental breakfast had high carb, high sugar options, and dd not include protein or fresh fruit. The bed was comfortable, water pressure was good and overall our sleep experience was comfortable."

3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

6/10 Okay

"Was excited to stay in this place because it had a pool. Upon checking in we were notified that the pool was not in service! My fault I guess I should have asked before booking but nothing stated of their pool not being in service online. Staff was not the friendliest at check in or check out. The sink faucet was so loose not tightened at all, shower felt like you were going to break trying to turn it on."

Harrah’s Lake Tahoe – A Caesars Rewards Destination

6/10 Okay

"I liked to stay in Harrah's in the past years when I spent my vacations in South Lake Tahoe, due to the convenience of self-parking and the great buffet. Right now the general conditions have totally changed: there is no more buffet, the breakfast at the Brew Brothers is not as good as the previous cafe underground, and the worst thing is that almost the whole public area is under renovation with new carpet and new machines, which makes chaos everywhere. The only good thing is that the self-parking is still as great as before. Hope Harrah's will become great again soon."

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a great experience. The valets were especially patient and helpful. The only two critiques are that the room was very stuffy the first night. And their was no maid service throughout our 4 night stay. Usually a housekeeper will visit halfway through to remove used towels."
