Top Downtown Tahoe City Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South

8/10 Good

"Great location, we had a suite room and it was awesome full kitchen. Was told valet only parking available off site was our only issue with this location. They really busy most of the time. Didn’t understand how some people had a place to park on property? Bar area very busy in evenings. Had a great outside area with gas grills available. Overall very happy with this place and would suggest it to others."

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Room was spacious, clean & quiet. Great location for our activities. My only complaint was the room needed more lighting. It was quit dark. And I wish there was breakfast! At least there was coffee or tea!"

HiMark

8/10 Good

"Everything was pretty great. Nice room with very comfortable bed. The room was very dark during sleep. Which is great. Most hotels have microwave,smoke detector,lights from hallways. This room had darkening drapes and to me, it makes it a much better sleep. The only issue i would say is the lack of a security number for contact. Apparently it is on the office door when the office is closed, but the number should be in the rooms."

Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel but it is right on the beach so great access and views. Definitely get a room with the balcony or patio facing the beach. Our room wasn’t ready when we got there at 4:15, we only booked about a half hour before, so we got upgraded to a corner room with a balcony and windows on 2 sides facing the beach. It also had a small kitchen in the upgraded room. The room was clean and the beds softer than most hotels but comfortable. There was a gas stove in the room for heat which we used as the nights get chilly in Sept. The bath with the shower and toilet are small and not updated but like I said this is an older hotel. Everything was clean though and you couldn’t beat the view. I would stay there again."
