Great staff. Maggie's restaurant is on the 3rd floor, very accessible, just make sure to get a reservation. The pool had a slight chill, but hot tub did the trick for the cooler morning. Bathtub on our deck was aqesome! Heated floors in bathroom. Very roomy for two people. Very clean. 5 minute walk to beach or to shops or restaurants. We'll be back!

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.
