Tools for making coffee and coffee grounds were provided. Unique features on our balcony: bath tub, cozy dining nook. Lots of places to plug in your electronics! Decor was modern and stylish. They thought of just about everything!

After staying numerous times while visiting SLT at a pricier hotel just around the corner, we decided to give the more reasonably priced Desolation Hotel a try. For a couple of nights earlier this week we stayed in one of the ‘Townhouse’ rooms. It was great. The room was spread over three floors, garage, living & bedroom. There are two decks, one with an outdoor dining table, the other with a soaking tub, a fully equipped kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, two fireplaces and a proper garage. The hotel is close to the beach & Heavenly Village. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay & are willing to forgo some of a larger resorts amenities - large public areas, resort fees, parking charges etc., this is ideal. It’s like your own vacation home. The hotel has a good restaurant, Maggie’s, a pool & spa etc. Checkin was pleasant & efficient and included a complimentary bottle of wine. My only ‘complaint’ would concern the slightly marginal motels that are scattered throughout the neighborhood. Other than that it was great and we would certainly recommend it and will return.

Fun Winter Excursion

Beautiful room. Had neighbors on the sides and above us, but we never heard a peep. There were robes and slippers, complimentary bottle of champagne, heated floors in the bathroom. Fully functional kitchen. Ample outlets and chargers for all our devices. My son was OBSESSED with the tornado fireplace. Parking lot was never crowded. Tesla charger worked great. Maggie’s (on site dining) was wonderful. We had dinner and breakfast there. Staff is great with kids. Gym was fine. Not a lot of weightlifting options, but great for cardio and free weights for the basics. Didn’t get a chance to use the sauna or heated pools but they looked nice. Hotel is located in the middle of downtown south Tahoe. We walked to all the shops, casinos, gondolas, etc. quite the fun winter experience. Well definitely be back.
