Everline Resort and Spa, Lake Tahoe
"Family friendly spot. Love the rooms with a patio that go directly out to the grass area/common area. The property didn’t feel well equipped for Memorial Day weekend. The pool slide was out of service, the staff seemed stretched and some of the shops were not open."
