Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa

Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa

5/5 Excellent
"This is an older property, but it is well maintained and clean. The size of the room was adequate and having a nice balcony with great views was a real plus. Being right on the beach of the lake is beautiful and it was perfectly located for our activities during our visit. The staff was very efficient and friendly. Would certainly stay here again. "
