Great dog friendly stay

We loved Playpark’s accommodations for our dog. When we arrived we were welcomed with a dog treat, dog bowl, dog towel and sheet that our dog could lay on without being on the actual bed sheets. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed for a weekend stay in Tahoe.

The room has been renovated and had everything I needed. I appreciated small things - paper towel, paper plates and cups, utensils, and working outlets (it's frustrating when your chargers don't stay in the outlets at some motels). Even though the motel is located on a busy road, the road noise did not bother me at all. There is no staff on site and you get the entry key code remotely, which worked just fine.

It is a basic place to stay for the night - nothing fancy or upscale. Clean, fairly conveniently located, good outdoor space and facilities, it meets all the basic requirements.

Clean and neat property with plentiful room amenities. Check in was done remotely and room access was via a code. 4 restaurants within 5 min walking distance. Very comfortable stay. $40 per night fee for my dog. I would return.

Rooms have been upgraded with new doors & electronic locks, sinks, showers, tables, chairs, beds, coffeemakers, microwaves and minifridges. So even though the rooms are small (the motel itself is old) it's still a good value given the upgrades. One improvement we would suggest is to install some kind of rack in the rooms to be able to hang clothing (such as wet ski clothes).

Fantastic find!

This hotel was such a great find! It’s very family friendly, and so conveniently located! We were there in March for a snowshoeing trip. What first attracted us to it was the fact that it is dog friendly! And I mean, dog friendly! Right inside the door was gear for the dog plus a biscuit! We had the king suite which was wonderful. The bed was comfy and the room had so many thoughtful extras: a flashlight, a power strip, picnic ware, and plenty of fluffy white towels! We’ve already booked our next stay!

Not bad, not good either

The room in the pictures for booking was nice. Unfortunately, that may have been a remodeled room, the one stayed in was nowhere near what the picture showed. Very outdated, the front porch was under construction which made for a large step into the room and constant banging / loud noises outside the room. May be a nice place to stay if you have kids to utilize the outside play area.

Basic but well-maintained

The rooms have no a/c which is typical in an area where it's usually not needed. It had fans, coffee maker, mini-fridge and microwave. There was a shower, no tub. Rooms are well-maintained. A great pizza restaurant next door and a fancy restaurant across the street. They emailed my door code within 24 hours of checking in. Room is acceptable for those who will spend more time sightseeing than staying in. I had trouble with the plumbing, but they sent a plumber the very next day. That's quick. Management heard my concern and responded right away.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice quiet location, with a pretty interesting patio setup outside. The pizza spot next door was good after the drive into Tahoe. There are a lot of other food options and a grocery store within walking distance. The room was generously provisioned with cups, plates, bottles of drinking water, towels, soaps, and even 3 portable fans for the room, something that most other hotels would not provide as much of. The text only check-in and check out was unique and convenient. However where the property fell short on was bedding, as each bed (there was 3 total in the family room setup) only had 1 thin sheet and 1 small microfiber blanket that would not fully cover an average sized adult. On a normal summer night this would only be a minor inconvenience as I actually think less laundry is better for the environment, however this weekend it actually rained and was cold, so we were missing having the extra layers. Adding on top of this, the gas wall heater was not working, so the temps were dipping into the lower 60’s in the room. This is where having on-site staff would have been helpful to either help troubleshoot the heater or at least provide a few extra bedding layers, but we improvised by using towels as blankets.

A good value for a decent room

A good value compared to many of the overpriced hotels and motels the weekend after Presidents Day weekend. The room had a primary bedroom, a secondary bedroom with a bunk bed for the kids (though with no door), a small common room with a small refrigerator (but no freezer section), microwave, coffee maker, and disposable plates/cups/utensils/paper towels. The primary bed was only double sized but had a comfortable foam mattress. The bathroom was pretty small with not much counter space to put things down, and a small shower stall (with an absurdly tight knob to turn on the water and adjust the temperature) with a curtain that didn't quite stretch the whole way across. The walls were thin and we could hear the TV and conversations from the next unit though muffled and primarily from the common room and not as much from the primary bedroom. The room (unit 2) was one of the closer ones to highway 50, but it was far away enough and the road is not traveled by vehicles at very high speeds so road noise was not really an issue the way it can be with motels near highway 80 in Truckee. So, various little complaints, but overall a good value and I would consider staying there again. Having said that, friends got a last minute room at the Hilton for like $50 more/night and I would guess that would be much better overall, but I don't believe that was available when I booked months in advance and likely the result of late cancellations.
