Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good
"Our room was impeccably clean, and the included breakfast was a great bonus. As a Tesla owner, I was particularly impressed that they offer complimentary EV charging; I plugged in from 8 PM to midnight, and since there were no additional fees for charging overnight, I was able to get a full charge at no extra cost during my stay. Additionally, the reception staff were absolutely wonderful and provided excellent service throughout our visit."
