"We decided to take a last minute trip to Tahoe from San Francisco. This hotel was absolutely perfect. Great location, right on the edge of Heavenly Village, but tucked off back into the property speckled with tall beautiful trees to hide away a bit. The design of the exterior is very cozy and cute, like your in the mountains. There is an excellent restaurant right next door, Izabella’s. We walked from our room to dinner and back, and then enjoyed some time in the hotels pool and hot tub to relax before dinner. Hot tub open till 10pm which we thought was a great time ! The room was so clean and plenty spacious. The blackout curtains worked so well! The bed and pillows were beyond comfortable, we slept like angels! Would definitely recommend this place, and we will be coming back! Thank you HiMark."
