South Shore hotel rooms a the Independent

"Stay elsewhere unless you're looking for a "view only" experience. No coffee filter for AM coffee, slower than mud WIFI, TV signal kept glitching out and we finally gave up, no automatic lodge entry doors, very old luggage carts that are difficult to maneuver, and some other small annoyances. Very dated lodge and rooms but an amazing view."

"Clean"

"Good location on the beach, restaurants and shops were close by. Next to lake cruises and sailing from Ski Run Marina. The beds were very hard and not that comfortable. Complementary coffee/water and fruits/pastries (usually offered in other resort lobby areas like Marriot resorts) were not available for guests using the property game room, pool, and grounds. There was a self serve/self pay snack shop next to the check-in desk. Self parking cost the same as valet parking and was not conveniently located on the property. This made getting personal items from your car or even loading your car very inconvenient. Check out time required everyone to wait for your car to be fetched."

"After booking through Expedia and arriving at the Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe, the front desk agent (don't know her name) put us in a room in the 'Heavenly' tower. The view was great but the room was a disaster. Rickety and damaged old furniture with a bathroom that looked like it was from the 50's with a tub that was full of chips to the surface and damaged, no hooks for towels because they had been ripped out of the wall and patch filled wallpaper. The hotel is going through a top to bottom renovation and it turns out our room floor and above are being closed down and gutted in a week or so. Why they still offer those rooms to customers is beyond me. If the rest of the rooms look like the one we got, they should be shut down now. We went to the check in desk and were lucky that a employee shift change had taken place and the room supervisor, Jennifer helped us. We told her our concerns and she was nice enough to switch our room to a room in the newly renovated 'Sunset' tower. Like night and day. The Sunset rooms are very nice! Major 'Thank You's' to Jennifer for salvaging our visit. The rest of our stay was very nice and the Golden Nugget was very good and will get even better once the renovation is complete."

"Overall the hotel was okay, breakfast was good. Bed blanket had spots on it with couple hairs around so that was reason for 4 stars review"

"Needs more attention on the bathroom cleaning. This is the first time that we found the bathroom not clean, like before. "

"The heater was incredibly noisy. The internet didn’t work so that meant the TV didn’t work. We left and went home a day early."

"Room was clean, great location, friendly staff. "

"Everything was great. The only issue was the safe did not work and could not use it. I let the front desk know when we checked out."
