Very cute hotel, terrible bed

We liked the vibe and location of this hotel a lot. It was a great renovated cute vibe, walkable to things in Tahoe City, friendly staff, and we liked the coffee shop at the front desk. The main problem was that the bed and pillows were all terrible, it seems like they updated the whole hotel except the beds. As much as we would love to come back, we did not get a great sleep here. Please let us know if you get better mattresses and pillows and we will come back!

Barb, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was pleasant and helpful. That’s where it ends. Our initial room smelled so strongly of bleach it made my eyes water. The helpful front desk guy gave us a different room without additional charge. The carpets were stained, the room has a slight odor but not like the first room. The room had coffee bags like tea bags in the room , coffee for purchase in the lobby, no breakfast. It’s one step above a motel 6 with a high price tag

Good place to stay
Miguel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved everything about Base Camp! It’s right across from the lake, right in the heart of Tahoe City, and an easy 10 mins drive to Alpine Meadows. Rooms were spotless, quiet, and the staff fantastic. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a quiet, safe, clean place to stay while in Tahoe.
Meghan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked everything, but the staff in the lobby really made me feel welcome and I’d stay here again with zero hesitation
Victor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Friendly staff. Cool vibe.
Cindy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only stayed one night. I didn’t have enough time to really see the grounds due to the short stay and being tired from a day at the lake. The location was good walkable and just a short drive to kings beach. The complaint I have is that the shower head was terrible could barely wash the soap off your body.
Samuel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Base camp has all the bases covered.

Base camp is always fantastic.
Steven, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very nice little room to stay three nights in this beautiful area. You can walk in a few minutes to the lake. Parking in front of your room. There are several nice restaurants and especially Rosis Café where you get real good meals. Prices are ok.

Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was so pleasantly surprised with this property. I was nervous from some older photos but they renovated this beautifully the room did have a slightly musty smell but it was clean and exactly what we needed for our road trip. The staff was nice but not overly friendly. Would love complimentary coffee in the morning though! My kids loved the games though. We’d come back for sure.
Lacey, 1-night trip

Decent remodel of a older hotel/motel.

Cozy Adventure Motel with cool vibes

We had a great time at Basecamp! We love the adventure motel vibe, there is a warm & welcoming common area with a fire & coffee, tea & hot chocolate. Great location, very walkable to the restaurants, shops & cafe in Tahoe City. There's a little slice of Lake Tahoe from the parking lot (the weather was storming so not sure about the view from the top deck). Beds were comfy & rooms were cozy, it's a refurbished motel that's cozy and cute decor. We love these types of adventure motels with common areas so we'll be back!
