"Book it"

Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has a great look. Bright and cheery. The four glass elevators ensure you never have to wait more than a few seconds for an elevator even during busy times. Our room was clean. The beds were comfy. (The only negative was the shower as it had insufficient pressure.) The location was impeccable...BEST in South Lake Tahoe. Walk out the door and take a few steps (literally) to the east, you leave California and step into Stateline, Nevada and Harrah's Casino. Cross the street (or take Harrah's underground walkway) and you are at Caesar's Republic. Exit the hotel to the west, you are a very short walk to the Heavenly Shops and The Heavenly Gondola that takes you up to a 10,000 foot peak giving you wonderful views of the lake from an observation level, as well as easy-to-walk trails with even more views and local wildlife sights. The lake shore is an easy walk from the hotel and local sights and attractions are an easy drive. Make no mistake, Margaritaville's location can't be beat. The other thing that can't be beat is...THE STAFF. From the front desk staff, to valet staff, to the gift shop, restaurant and housekeeping staff; Margaritaville has assembled a group of genuinely nice people who are eager to help and happy to make friendly conversation that make you feel welcome and appreciated. A particular shout-out to Rachel at the front desk who went the extra mile to ensure our family's special needs were not only met, but met with a smile. Magnificent!!!"

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough good things about the Tahoe Seasons Hilton Vacation Club. While many travelers are shifting toward rental properties and shared‑management stays, this hotel truly stands out. From the moment we arrived, the valet team, front desk, and overall staff were consistently responsive, courteous, and efficient. We stayed for nine days and never encountered a single issue. Our King Suite was clean, comfortable, and well maintained throughout our visit. Valet service was prompt every time—we never waited long for our vehicle. The location is ideal, sitting right at the base of Heavenly Ski Resort, making it perfect for both convenience and scenery. I highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again."

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

8/10 Good

"The check in was pretty a chaos cause my expedia account didn't approve my card, luckily the receptionist still let me check in. Also there was no phone in the rooms so if you had a question, you had to go all the way to the front lobby to get your questions answered, not sure why they don't have a phone in the rooms. Our ac in our room also wasn't really working that well. Room 212 , I believe."

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

10/10 Excellent

"The room we stayed had the full kitchen and was extremely nice, especially with kids. The bathroom was large and had a separate tub from the shower making bath time an easy endeavor. Everything was clean and in good working condition. I can't find any faults with the room we stayed in or the hotel in general. It was very nice! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone, especially for the price. It was much nicer than more expensive hotels that I previously stayed at in Tahoe."
