3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing. Polite, friendly, helpful and seemed to really enjoy their place of work."

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"The property was slightly older, very well maintained and clean. Daily room service. The pool and hot tubs were both very clean and never crowded. The best part is the view is excellent! Choose the lake view! Close to lots of shops and restaurants. Right across the road from a small lake access! Would recommend, we will be back."

The Americana Village

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place! It’s quaint and older but in a cute well maintained way. I go to slt to visit my son in college pretty regularly and I have not had great luck with the less expensive hotels in town. But I think I found my spot here. Pool hot tub and sauna were a big plus. They seem very well staffed and are really friendly. The shower was a double header, rooms were big suites with kitchenettes well stocked with pots pans and dishes. My only gripe is there’s a coffee maker but no coffee is provided but it’s available in the breakfast room"

Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Great experience overall. The property is lively, clean, and the staff were all friendly. The only complaint was housekeeping. It was very minimal and not well done when they did come. We had to call several times as towels and drink glasses were taken but not restocked. One day they didn't come at all. Sometimes things were wiped down and cleaned up, other days the beds were made but the trash was still full and there was sand by the door. It was kinda weird as everything else about our stay was great. We'd go back, but it was disappointing to come back to a messy room at night."

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"The hotel was easily accessible with a decent amount of parking in the structure. The hotel is in decent shape for being built in the 70s. There are some wear and tear throughout the hotel but nothing excessive. I stayed during the week so not to much foot traffic throughout the hotel. Check in went smoothly and made it to my room within a few minutes. The room itself is a decent size the restroom is massive mainly the shower you can fit about 20 people in there lol. The wear does have some wear as they paint on doors and wall is fading away due to daily use. The toilet had issues flushing I needed to remove the back in order to adjust the lever to flush correctly. Over it was clean nothing major that would make me not want to stay anymore. The pool area was nice not too crowded although they definitely need to sell drinks close by please!!... I would definitely recommend this hotel its all within walking distance to other hotels and casinos and heavenly village plaza that has a decent pizza spot which I also recommend! Thanks for the stay Bally's!"
