Top South Lake Tahoe Hotel Reviews

3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"The 3 Peaks was a wonderful little place for my stay in South Lake Tahoe. It was well maintained and very cozy. The staff was friendly and happy to help with any questions we had. The location of 3 Peaks is excellent with a short 2 minute walk to a private beach that has access to watercraft rentals as well as a short few minute walk to Heavenly Village and the casinos. I will definitely be returning to the 3 Peaks. Side note: the private beach does require you to get a voucher from your hotel before heading down and there is a fee of $5.00 to enter."

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a great stay. I will say the valet only parking was a pain. It made us second guess leaving our room after returning from a day trip. If we had set times to be somewhere we had to make sure we were down there at least 20 minutes before we had to leave cause it took that long to get our car many times. The valet guys were busting butt but limited spaces for cars to pull in and limited valet guys made for a messy time."

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful place close to the beach. Pool was at a wonderful temperature with pool “toys“ available. When we told the front desk staff that our refrigerator wasn’t working, we immediately upgraded to a two room suite. There were only two negatives. One was that PARKING on returning from the casinos after midnight was virtually impossible. The secondwas that both rooms were extremely dark. No overhead lights and lamps were quite low wattage, especially in the regular room. With LEDs inexpensive wisely available, I have no idea why a property of this quality would not provide something to keep the rooms well enough to be able to read at night (from paper… I had to stick to Kindle and iPad. Overall, the location was excellent, the staff, helpful and responsive, and the amenities more than one could expect from a hotel in this price range"

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"Standard queen is the perfect size for a couple. We were able to check in early with a $20 fee. We didn't really hang out at the hotel. There's so much to do in lake tahoe. Hotel Azure is in a great location. In the middle of about 50 resturants and stores. Its directly across the street from the lake and the south tahoe bike path. The hotel also has bikes you can borrow. We borrowed 2 and rode around when we first arrived.the front desk girls could not be nicer. Every room has a balcony. There's a pool, guy, game room, parking and soft sheets. I would definitely stay here again."
