To each their own! My feedback is based on my own experiences when staying at the Becket Hotel. First of all, the hotel is located in the center of downtown Lake Tahoe. It is very convenient and walkable. The free breakfast is good with varied choices. However, the hotel itself is very poorly maintained. It is outdated, dirty, and broken. I am not so happy with the room at all. It has a broken floor by the door, a loose handle on the shower door, the floor has many big, dirty stains, the bench dresser is dirty with black stains all over, and furthermore, the AC is horrible. Every time we turn it on, a foul smell comes out, which is unpleasant. They probably never clean it. The parking will run out if you check in late even if you have to pay for parking.
