Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino
There is nothing special about the room. It was clean and well stocked, but for that price range, I would say it was underwhelming.

Everline Resort and Spa, Lake Tahoe
Such a comfortable stay. The lift is right next to the hotel which is amazing... The gym is nice and the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna amenities are a nice bonus. Love staying there for my ski trips.
