6/10 Good

Cute older motel. Great location for stop between Vegas and Tahoe but not worth the price.
Carl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not luxurious, but unusual

This is a slightly tired 1950's style roadside small motel (RIGHT on the road so very noisy traffic all night). Mist rooms have a nice deck that runs along several rooms - however, our's which was rm #4 had trees that blocked out the view of the lake itself. The other rooms would have had an actual lake view. Overall - it was a nice stay in a clean but noisy and a bit quirky old motel.
