Top South Lake Tahoe Hotel Reviews

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and that it is dog friendly. Right next to the recreation center and rv campground so easy to walk the dogs. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful."

Hilton Vacation Club Tahoe Seasons Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this location for the type of rooms offered. We travelled with our young adult kids to see a Jack Johnson concert in South Lake. It happened to be Labor Day weekend and the stateline area was a crowded mess of people. The room we chose had 2 kings and a pullout bed. One of the kings was a separate room with its own bathroom. The additional bathroom and kitchen were a plus. This option is not common in the industry. The price was reasonable and the location was at the base of Heavenly. We played pickleball in the roof for a bit. Definitely would stay here again. All staff that we encountered were friendly and professional. I wish more hotels had this room setup. Thank you."

Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this place is beyond perfect. The views you get of the lake from the balcony is what you pay for. The property itself is very well maintained. Clean rooms, comfortable accommodations. Will surely come back to stay here. The outdoor firepit is excellent and is a great place to sit by through the evening into night. Between the balcony, the firepit and the pool, you can have a most relaxing vacation without ever leaving the property. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby as well as a Whole Foods and a CVS."

The Coachman Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall decent stay, though there is room for improvement. Pros: Room was clean, AC worked well, bed was comfortable. Lobby coffee was tasty, as were complimentary s’mores. Location is excellent. Pool and hot tub were nice (jets are so-so). Cons: Photos show a small dining type table and chairs, but these were not present in the room. This corner only had a weird, sad lamp in it. The nightstands were plain metal without any shelves (as shown in some photos). There was a small amount of space to set things on either side of the TV, as well as shelving and one free cabinet below it (the other had the refrigerator). The cabinet door opened one direction, and the refrigerator door opened the opposite direction, which was annoying. There is nowhere to set or hang anything in the shower whatsoever - you have to set it on the floor. When I first arrived my TV remote would turn the TV on and off and control volume, but nothing else. They sent someone to fix it, and he did appear to do so, with some effort - I was able to change channels, etc…but then later when I tried to turn the TV off, I could not. I attempted to google workarounds/ways to program the remote myself/control it with my phone…but the hotel blocks all of them, apparently. There are no recycling bins in the rooms, but there are in the parking lot."
