Heavenly Ski Resort shuttle stops at the curb every 30 minutes during winter. The Inn is 100 km from Reno-Tahoe International. A short walk down Ski Run Boulevard leads to the lake and marina. The Inn is three blocks from the marina, the beach, and restaurants. Landmarks nearby include Raley's (1 km), Thomas F Regan Memorial City Beach (3 km), and Ski Run Marina (0.5 km).

Services and Amenities

The Alder Inn provides free internet in all bathrooms. Check-in begins at 3 PM local time. A document must be signed agreeing to a 100-euro fine if ANY evidence of smoking is found in the apartment or in building areas such as window ledges, the lift, stairs or the entrance area near to the reception. Each apartment includes similar size and equipment.

“This family-run inn distinguishes itself with individually decorated rooms and a refreshingly personal approach. Its South Lake Tahoe location puts guests within walking distance of both the beach and a diverse selection of restaurants, while Heavenly Mountain Resort is also easily accessible. I think it's a solid choice for those seeking a blend of convenience and a more intimate lodging experience.”
