Tahoe North Shore Lodge

I have been staying here, during ski season, for 4 years. The room furnishings are VERY dated. But where else do you get HBO,in room coffee service, refer, bath accessories, free WiFi and microwave. This year they put in new towels and sheets. Ed, the proprinter, is trying to slowly upgrade and repair the rooms. He has a way to go but he is trying. This is a basic motel with a good location. I recommend CB Pizza next to motel for a reasonable priced good meal.

Holes in the sheets and towels, and the shower area pretty scary. The microwave, mini fridge, and tv worked fine. WiFi was exhausting to get to work. Definitely not worth $160 a night. The gentleman at the front desk was very kind and helpful.

The Tahoe North Shore Lodge is not the Four Seasons, and is very basic and dated. But this is the mountains and the place has a certain rustic and totally authentic charm...with perfect service, and perfect views of glorious Lake Tahoe. For the price and location, I can accept the road noise in the rooms, and would stay again.

After reading the reviews, I was afraid that the lodge would be a nightmare. Nevertheless, our stay was actually not that bad. The bathroom was small, yet the water was hot enough. The wifi wasn't that stable, but for travelers not on a business trip, it was acceptable. The only problem was, the parking lot was a little small; a few minivans would fill up the lot.

This is a little 2 star motel across the street from Garwoods. We reserved a room here because we could drink and have fun at Garwoods, and then just walk across the street to sleep. We knew it was not going to be the Ritz Carlton; however....it fell far below even our lowest expectations!!! The room was gross. The carpet was gross. The beds. GROSS. The shower?? So disgusting!!!! We left at 5pm on our second night because I could not bring myself to get in the shower, and even if I took a shower, there was enough light in the room anywhere where I’d even be able to see enough to put on make up. It was dark, gloomy, depressing and GROSS!!! The bathroom floors are sticky. AND, it was still $150 per night, so for that amount we at least expected it to be clean. The manager couldn’t even be bothered to put on shoes. Save yourself the headache and spend a little extra to stay somewhere nice.
