“This inn is a practical choice in South Lake Tahoe; my impression is that its real strength lies in its staff's dedication. For a group seeking basic lodging, the two queen beds in the Queen Room provide ample space after a day outdoors. While not luxurious, it appears to focus on friendly service.”
