As far as location, it really can’t be beat It’s a true ski in/out property with the Heavenly gondola and Heavenly Village (shops/restaurants) right outside the door But that’s a bit of a negative as well, our room was facing the square and it got pretty loud at night, wish we had know and would have requested one facing the other way

We had a 1 bedroom that was very comfortable and had a full kitchen Be aware that it is only valet parking ($32 per night) and request your car early than you need it as they are short staffed One more thing, the pool is much smaller than the hotel photos suggest, that was a disappointment Overall, it was a very nice and comfortable stay and the staff was friendly

Luke Mohrlang

This is my family’s second stay at Timber Lodge in the last 6 years Both stays were awesome, and the staff and accommodations are excellent The proximity to everything is worth the stay alone, but the rooms, staff, and amenities are top notch

I enjoyed the fitness center both days we stayed and appreciated the selection of fitness equipment, as well as weights The facilities are very clean, the staff is friendly from the front desk to the maintenance employees you encounter while visiting I would definitely recommend Timber Lodge to families or couples on a getaway

Mike Edwards

We love staying at this resort The only problem they have is check in, check out , and parking The resort actually lost our car at the valet and it took them almost an hour to find it

During check in the lobby is packed with carts and people waiting for their rooms to be ready Just outside the lobby doors is total chaos with people waiting for luggage carts and cars everywhere Once you are checked in and get to your room everything is great I know this is partly because of Covid, but it wasn’t much better before With all this being said we will definitely be back

We loved our stay here! Cozy room with a fireplace and a lake view It is right next to the beach and the outdoor fire pit was a great touch It is not a luxury hotel, but it was perfect to come back to after skiing all day

The rooms were clean and overall a quiet and relaxing spot Can’t beat the price and location! We will definitely be back!

Janine K

We stayed here two nights (one full day) as a relaxbreak on our round trip in West USA Although the rooms are nice and the lake is fantastic, don’t expect too much relaxing On the first night there was a wedding party which the whole resort could enjoy, whether you wanted or not

The place is more like a camping site than a resort experience I give three stars for the view and the nice welcoming, but besides that the price you pay is far too much for what you get I have seen better options in Lake Tahoe

Sarah stockdale

Probably the best stay we’ve had in a hotel in awhile Traveling on a cross country road trip and stopped here Rooms are a good size with cute and simple decor

The front desk and staff were lovely For us, we feel they went above and beyondWe had a lake view and it couldn’t have been a more wonderful stay We were only going to stay one night but loved it so much we stayed two Would definitely recommend and will for sure be back in the future

It’s difficult to find a place to stay in South Lake Tahoe that’s affordable but pleasant I’m really happy we found this place The main room was updated nicely, and it was one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed in in a long time

I wish they had done a bit nicer job updating the bathroom, but again, it was very clean so that’s nitpicking a bit We will definitely stay here again! Ernie’s Cafe almost next door had very good breakfast

Matt Bryson

The front desk staff was very kind, but the cleaning staff knocked on all the doors (including ours) over an hour before checkout (around 9:30am) I understand the need to clean the rooms after a long weekend, but I could also hear the radio from the front desk telling them who had checked out Additionally, the walls are incredibly thin, so you’ll be able to to hear your neighbors with ease, as well as some road noise

Finally, the thermostat doesn’t seem to control the temperature, so it was very warm the entire trip (despite trying to turn it down to the lowest setting, and off entirely) Overall, not a bad hotel, but not a top pick for future stays

Trevor & Justine Colton

My husband and I stayed overnight for our first getaway since having Baby We were so excited to find a place SO close to the water and all our favorite conveniences at such an affordable price Our room had a queen sized bed with a balcony (not lake view) and we were very happy with it

The lighting, toiletries, bathroom, curtains…all very cozy and welcoming So happy to have gotten to stay, we look forward to coming again for a few more nights and a chance to use the pool and spa

Shad McCarthy

Great location and the front desk staff where amazing Building is old, but the rooms where updated and location in South Lake Tahoe was great Was given a room with a partial view and it was actually a really great view from the balcony on the 3rd floor – room 312

It’s right off the main road and there is a lot of traffic noise but once you’re inside and close the balcony slider door you don’t hear the traffic Would definitely consider staying here again in the future

Adeline CHAUTARD

Nice motel located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe! Very convenient to walk to restaurants and shopsReasonable price for Tahoe!Breakfast is a bit scarce, you get a bagel, a cup of coffee/tea and a fruit, but at least you get something to eat Would be nice to have some cereals for the kids, and maybe some muffins

We’ll definitely stay there again in the future!

Chandra Van Winkle

Checked into this hotel today Just a warning that the pool and hot are closed and apparently have been for 2 years Also I’ve had to get a new key twice already

You definitely get what you pay for here although the location is great and front staff friendlyAlso if you get locked out or need help after 9 pm, just know you will have to call a number to get someone to come and help you I’ve been waiting 10 minutes for a new key already

What a hidden gem! Awesome location, clean clean clean rooms, and best in class service level from the staff It is an open courtyard so there is noise, but the quite hours have been respected and haven’t had any issues 2 pools and the main one has adults only from 3-5 daily which is quite nice for those of us traveling without kids

Yes, there is no AC and we were here in August The windows open and they have a screen for the front door to help bring the breeze in and there are fans in the rooms Overall great stay

Mike McHugh

Great 2 bedroom room It was spotlessStaff is always there to help with whatever question you may have

Staff is very professional and friendlyHot tub is always clean and a perfect temperature we cannot wait to enjoy our weeks inJune and August We have been owners for over fifteen years!! We love it here and highly recommend it to everyone

This is by far one of the worst experiences I have ever gone through I paid a discounted rate on a guess what hotel your getting site For under $100 bucks I got this place

It was rated three stars and close to town so I said what can go wrong? This was the first trip for my son and me since COVID As soon as we got in the room the room was hot It was a type of save energy system where you put your card to activate Room 219 Well it never got cooler than 82 degrees I called the front desk the first night and no answer So I walked downstairs and told the receptionist the AC was not working She answered me, “My system shows me it’s working!” But I’ll send a tech He came up fiddled with the thermostat for about thirty minutes He said I’m done it works now Guess what? That was a lie It didn’t Two night later and three calls to get it fixed later, we left one day Early The lady the receptionist desk tried to act like she didn’t know anything about it I was nice the whole time She offer d me a return of my resort fee and the last night of refund I haven’t seen that refund yet and it’s been a week

Nishank Chandawala

Stayed in a two bedroom suite which was two connected one bedroom suites Liked that since that gave us extra privacy The resort was clean and had good amenities like pool, jacuzzi, steam and sauna

Valet parking only which is included in resort fee Reasonable prices Only con for summer visitors is that the location is 2 miles from restaurants and casinos Location is still nice and peaceful It turns into a pro for winter visitors since heavenly ski lift is right across the resort

Nick Parks

Stayed here for 2 days with my gf, and it was perfect Friendly staff, huge quiet rooms, lots to do Our room had an enormous bath you could walk into, a fireplace, a living room, and a great view of the mountains

Parking is by valet only, so bring what you need from the car so you’re not constantly looking for things The resort has the standard pool / hot tub / fitness center, but one thing that was cool was the roof top BBQ area and tennis courts Additionally, there is a complimentary washer and dryer that we used I greatly enjoyed this as I hate using the quarter-operated machines Overall great stay and highly recommended!

MRS. ANDY

This hotel was convenient and clean The room is spacious it did have some amenities like shampoo and conditioner and a refrigerator Keurig machine things like that, however I did take a star away because the AC was a little bit confusing

and semi didn’t work There was a thermostat for the room AC which did not work at all but then there was a smaller window AC that barely produced enough cold air to chill the room The room was pretty stuffy and warm when we first got there It took all day for the little AC to try and cool the room down Also our room was a king size bed with a jetted tub in the room and a pull-out couch Now in order to get this room we can only have two guests in it so we were confused why there would be a pull out couch in there If only two people can stay in the room so we pulled out the bed in the couch and it was dirty and broken to where you couldn’t even use it anyways and it wouldn’t go back in I did tell the friend desk about the pullout they were going to put in a maintenance orderHowever the site of the hotel was perfect as is described in there website the breakfast was amazing actually had everything from yogurt cereal bagels muffins sausage eggs biscuits and gravy pancakes on the weekend juice coffee hot cocoa all very clean and tasted great The staff was very polite during check-in and check out I have really great pictures to post but for some reason it won’t let me post them

This hotel had all the amenities needed for a first time trip to south Lake tahoe Complimentary breakfast had a variety of foods to choose from The staff kept the area stocked and clean-leave them a tip!

They are located across from a convenient store and up to a 10 min walk to casinos and pubs No fee for parking Pool was clean and open dawn to dusk Bears do roam the parking lot in the evening looking for food They didn’t bother us-they just want food Great price and the rooms were roomy and clean

Shelly Swope

Positive things first…Good breakfast buffetPretty locationCentrally locatedNegative things…Stayed 3 nights Never cleaned the room even after telling them our room didn’t get cleaned They only dropped off towels

Air conditioner loud was so loud I had a hard time sleeping Cycled on and off what seemed like every 5 minutesTV stopped working halfway they stay Staff said they called for service but didn’t know when it would be fixed

This hotel exceeded all our expectations The location was close to the gondola, amazing shops and restaurants Rooms were well stocked with linens and toiletries

Came with a full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, full size refrigerator and all items that you need to cook and enjoy your meal Our room had 2 full bathrooms one equipped with a large jet sauna tub, fireplace in bedroom as well as a balcony to enjoy amazing views with your morning coffeeThere is also a pull out bed/couch and fireplace in front room and kitchen table/chairs in a nook The beds were luxuriously comfortableWe will definitely be back

Yuvashree Sundeep

Amazing location , we hardly needed our car to go out and about ! EV charging with valet was a huge plus Also there’s so much to do under a mile with kids – gondola rides , miniature golf , beach , cafes and ice cream shop ( you name it and it’s there !) Our room was on the lower level and it was a bit noisy , otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and will be back sometime soon !

Elizabeth Wilson

We stayed in 2 bedroom unit for a weekend and were thoroughly disappointed The property is dated and tired Our room was large so no complaints there

The property had basically no amenities Concierge desk was closed the entire time Probably “due to covid” but unsure Proximity to the heavenly gondola cannot be beat It is literally an arms reach away Definitely very convenient!Unfortunately our check out experience was so awful I would will never return to the property and strongly urge anyone considering this property to stay elsewhere We called the front desk to inquire about the check out time and the possibility of getting late check out What ensued was hands down the worst customer service experience I have ever had I’m a Marriott platinum member and I stay at marriotts all over the world on a monthly basis I also stay at non Marriott hotels I generally have great experiences at marriott properties which is why I’m very loyal to the brand My experience with the front desk employee Donna was unbelievable We nicely asked about late check out and she was so condescending and hostile (she didn’t even great us when she picked up the phone, she just said “hello? What?”—we thought we misdialed and got a random room by mistake)Donna said we can’t have late check out because guests are already waiting in the lobby for our room (this was around 9am) and we need to vacate immediately for these guests Not sure who these guests were but Donna did an excellent job of making us feel like worthless second class guests After we hung up with Donna, housekeeping knocked on our door twice, an engineer came up twice to “fix the phone” which he determined was fully functional and not in need of repair, and Donna called our room about 4 times and proceeded to hang up when we would answer It was blatantly obvious Donna had orchestrated this ambush on us in an effort to hurry us out of the room Completely unprofessional and frankly abusive conduct from Donna The engineer who was sent actually apologized for repeatedly distributing us and said he knows it’s ridiculous and “it’s political” He was really nice Didn’t get his name unfortunatelyHours after we had left the hotel I received several calls and voicemails from other employees who wanted to know when we’d be out of the room I told them we left hours ago and the gentleman (Tyler I think) basically apologized for calling and said he was asked to call (obviously by Donna) Donna went to great lengths to simply harass us It was outrageous I can’t imagine what it’s like for the employees who have to work with Donna and are subjected to her abuse and hostility daily She is sinking the ship and she’s a terrible representation of not only this property but of Marriott in generalThere is absolutely no customer service at this establishment If you’re looking for an enjoyable, relaxing and hospitable stay this is NOT the place AVOID AVOID AVOID Marriott Grand Residence Club Lake Tahoe

Clean, comfortable and centrally located We had a double queen with tables and chairs and the size was adequate with a spacious bathroom I like the historic wall photos and the wall hooks to hang your extra coats besides the little closet

The shower floor though has no division from the rest of the bathroom floorThe bed and pillows were comfortable yet you could here dinha floor noise from upstairs so I didn’t get a good night sleep No breakfast but coffee is provided and McDonald’s is across the street The beach is also walkable from the hotel

Eduardo Tello

Big rooms, big showers with bathtubs and double shower heads Worth the stay when in Tahoe Location is good on the California side

AC is a bit too noisy TV uses old Spectrum system with no guide so you have to browse to check what’s playing – wish they had a more modern solution with Netflix or some type of casting so people can use their phones to cast

Gweneth Tambe

I stopped to inquire about the place In 1999 it was the only place that had a room come available for us on our wedding night Back then it was the Fantacy Inn

It became the Postmarc in 2014 The desk clerk was very nice & helpfully in providing all the answers to my questions Everything that I saw looked very nice & well maintained

Laura Almaraz

We stayed for about a week The room was clean and loved they had a laundry room I was able to utilize The mattress was a bit firmer then most beds but not too uncomfortable

We had a great experience viewing a bear walking by from our Balcony They do warn bears are all aroundI found there location to be a bug Pro as well as a Con Pro because it is walking distance from many restaurants and the beach The public beach charges about $25 a person Staying at the 3 peaks, they provide a coupon for every day you stay and you will pay just $5 per person The con comes when leaving the motel The exit of the motel meets a rounding street corner There were several times we would check both sides, start to drive and a vehicle coming from the curve would come rushing by We would have to abruptly halt in the middle of the rd Even if your staring at the corner as you pull out, if a car is coming fast enough, it can be dangerous

Jeff Lamarr

I got the one bedroom suite Only had a couple issues One being the adjoining room where their lights shine through into the hallway in my room

I think it’s because two rooms can be joined together as a two bedroom suite but unfortunately I could see their light all night not to mention their noise The other was every time they would go out of the porch the motion sensor light would go on and shine the light into my bedroom while I was trying to sleep It felt a bit uncomfortable and knowing that it seemed like somebody can just walk through the other door into my place You can also hear the upstairs people taking showers because it was so loud the water running through the pipes I also had to call maintenance the first morning because I couldn’t get the shower water to turn off Otherwise definitely a cool little relaxing place to say with a full kitchenette some of the units Mine had one, also came with a fireplace

Bri L

Overall, 35/5 stars from me We worked from here one full week mid August

Here are my top takeawaysThe headboards are metal bars and we kept hitting our heads when we went to lie downShower pressure is fantastic and the water gets so nice and hot The rooms are overall quiet and we never heard neighbors next to us, although we did hear foot steps above us The AC was strong The area is walkable and the pool was nice also They don’t provide pool towels that we saw There is coffee in the lobby certain hours in the morning and a microwave and toasterThe cleaning crew is very on top of it and accommodating if you ask for anythingThe lobby staff was very unresponsive: one night we saw the trash in the side yard had been gone through like a bear or raccoon, and we called to report it and nobody answered the 4 times we called We asked for a coffee mug because we were there a week but because we booked a basic king room and not a 2BR with kitchen, they wouldn’t give us one It felt wasteful to use their styrofoam disposable cups daily It’s the little things Another time my husband went to ask a question in the lobby and while he was printing something, nobody else there, the phone rang and the lobby staff answered, put them on hold, and carried on their lunch conversation and didn’t pick back upTo do laundry, bring your own quarters because the front desk won’t give you changeOn a side note, Thai on Ski Run was one of the best restaurants we had in Tahoe (takeout both times) Food in Tahoe is really pricey and everything felt like a “just miss” We also loved Sugar Point Beach for a day trip – pack a picnic from Smart and Final or something fun!

We stayed there over the new year holiday and had a wonderful time Staci at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay extra welcoming and special The design and vibe of the inn was super cute – their branded amenities and cool decor in the room gave it that extra touch

At night they turned the fireplace on and had hot coco waiting for the guest The lobby was cozy and a great place to chill We were walking distance to the slopes and to the lake Highly recommend this place – thanks again Staci for being so great!

L G

We decided to try out this Hotel because it’s pet friendly, and is close to the lake and various dining options and casinos Rooms here are clean and smell good, not musty The beds were exceptionally comfortable! Great grounds for walking the dog

The surroundings are quiet during the week, we were there on Monday and Tuesday Pool was closed (seasonal), the restaurant didn’t open til 9am and we checked out before then so have no information on that AC was on and off all night with no way to adjust it or turn it off That’s my only complaint

Cynthia Beltran

Came here for 2 nights and overall it was a nice place to stay We had our dogs with us, so they gave us a spacious room on ground level They offered us a complimentary beverage when we checked in which is always nice

They have a restaurant next to it that seems to be very popular They didn’t have access to the lake at this time but the lake wasn’t too far from here They have decent size parking lot and the rooms are cozy and spacious

Very average to below average compared to surrounding places at a similar price point No major issues, just lots of little things The heat in our room was off when we arrived so it was freezing and took a couple hours to really warm up

The door to our room had no latch and the only way to keep it closed was to lock it There was also no inside lock on the door like every other hotel room I’ve stayed in Parts of the room clearly hadn’t been dusted in awhile The soap dispenser in the shower was broken The water pressure in the shower is almost too good The small shower means you can’t really escape the very strong pressure The floors aren’t carpeted or have even a single rug so sound from other rooms travels very easily Also no coffee maker in the roomThe two redeeming qualities are the comfortable bed and the locationOverall this place doesn’t deserve the rave reviews seen on Google or Bookingcom It’s missing lots of basic hospitality touches and is average at best

We recently stayed for a week at 7 Seas Inn I’ve worked in resort management for almost 10 years at one of the largest resort towns in the country, so I do have an understanding of what is involved in the industry While the reviews seem very positive which had a lot of bearing on our choice, it’s apparent that the same level of care is not shown to guests during the off season

Check in is “touch less” which is a hospitality term for “we don’t want to have staff on site” As for the amenities, you might as well try and guess what’s available because no information is given to you Did they have breakfast? No idea Was the hot tub open? Nope Private beach? Wouldn’t know because it was never communicated how to get there Rooms are cramped which was surprising because whoever took the photos used some very generous angles Shower was small, shower head sprayed in all kinds of directions, regularly soaking the floor, and there was quite a bit of mold and mildew buildup I’m sure there’s a different level of care during the busy season, but in the off season, pass this place upUpdated: it appears the issues stem from new management They obviously saw what made the place great and decided to remove those amenities

I recently stayed at 7 Seas right after the storm that brought all the snow This place is a hidden gem The rooms have a very cozy feel and are nicely decorated

Amazing value compared to other options nearby I was also walking distance to all the restaurants and casinoThe property manager was extremely responsive Everything was touch-less and convenient Check in and check out was seamless I will be staying here again I’m an avid snowboarder and love being in the Tahoe area

This is a great place to stay in South Lake Tahoe The property looked clean and room was spacious They also give you an entire kitchen setup along with crockery, utensils and electric stove if you would like to cook something, impressive

Breakfast was included in our stay, I wish they could serve more options in fruits and serve the boiled eggs without shells The place has ample parking available and their service is good Another thing that I liked is, they give you organic bathing bar, shampoo n all which is really great Overall, the experience was amazing, would definitely consider to come here again

Cozy little place Rooms a little tight for four adults but we managed Amenities are fair with gym, swimming pool, BBQ grills, picnic tables, activities room, bikes, fishing poles, and golf clubs

Continental breakfast is what you would expectThey have facility activities scheduled through out the week which I think is cool If your up for it you should take this time to familiarize yourself with the neighborsDog friendly of course, be mindful of your dogLocation is greatMy stay here was comfortableNote: At check in have your license plate number of your vehicle ready as they ask you for plate number, color and makeCredit card and ID

We lived in the Americana village because it’s dog friendly And we were bringing our fur baby here for the first time Our furry baby is still a baby, 8 months old hence she being a mixed breed was not comfortable here

So we dropped her to our dog sitter It’s a good place, music in the evening and people hang out here as a family or so But there’s a strict rule your dog must not bark after a certain time I do not agree with that Nature cannot be silenced and so are animals I had to drop my fur baby because of this rule If you love pets and own a pet dog then barking or crying shouldn’t matter to you But the folks who run this place can tell you to vacate So come at your own risk

This place is awesome My family & I stayed in the room with a kitchen that had a view of the lake It was incredible

The kitchen is stocked with things to prepare or eat meals The bed and pillows were so comfortable The view was breath taking We will always come here It really couldn’t have been better The only thing is I hope the light bulbs are changed to be a little brighter Besides that it was the best stay

Worth all 5 stars! Run, don’t walk to this hotel! And DO NOT be fooled or scared by the front of this hotel like I initially was when I arrived It is awesome inside! The most attentive and welcoming staff, CLEAN, and the coziest rooms and beds with amazing lake front access They mean it when they say that EVERY room has lake views and YES the fireplace in the rooms work! (all the reviews saying it didn’t worried me but this was not an issue for us at all!) I’m sad that we only stayed here one night

I will be back!
