"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,"

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good
"We came up to Lake Tahoe for a wedding and stayed here for location to the different activities of the weekend. The property was immaculate and the staff very friendly and helpful. The room (we had a suite) was clean and set up perfectly for a comfortable stay. The different areas were private with barn door type closing. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator with freezer, utensils and a small coffee maker-not a kuerig. It was a 8 cup which we preferred over a single use. They gave 3-4 packets of coffee so there was plenty if there were two couples. The living space had a sofa sleeper and that room could be closed off as well for privacy. The bathroom was very large. The shower had poor water pressure, but it worked. The only real negative was that it was valet parking only. So whenever you left the property, you had to ask the attendant for your car and tip. You couldn’t bring your luggage down yourself so there was another tip for the luggage. We also wished there was a bar or cafe on site, but I guess it was considered more of a vacation property versus a hotel. With that said we would stay here again. It has walkability (across the street) from a Heavenly Gondola."
