I loved the family atmosphere of this place! The pool was wonderful, AND they provided pool towels. I liked that there were grassy areas with picnic tables and gas grills (although those were not in use at this time.) Wifi and TV service were great. The small kitchen in the room was terrific, and the rooms was large with a nice living room area. There was lots of space for kids to play. My daughter loved the chance to participate in tye dye shirt making.

Parking was tight, and it was difficult to find a spot. (I think "some" people had more than one car." Some of the families staying did not cooperate with "quiet" hours. The breakfast was pretty pathetic.

The staff was very nice and always there for us. I must mention Randy who is such a good guy and was ready to help us with anything we needed and told us wonderful stories about the town and Lake Tahoe. Also recommended a few places to go eat. Great experience. Rooms are well equipped, clean and comfortable. The pool and the hot tub are very well maintained. Also there were free bikes for rent and every evening fun activities at the Americana. What I loved are the free DVD movies for rent. The place is perfect and I would recommend this place to anyone!

The room was awesome. I loved the full refrigerator and items in the kitchen to make us feel like home. I also loved that it felt like we had two rooms side by side each with a TV for ourselves and our daughter.

Breakfast was kind of odd being given the food and not much variety compared to another location we were at prior, so we were not too impressed. Some staff giving out food could also be nicer. The dry spa also didn't work too well.

We visited Americana regularly in the early 2000's, but this was our first trip back to Tahoe since 2007. Nothing had changed. Every aspect of the Americana was still excellent. Even the popcorn and the breakfast donuts were still wonderful. But the essence of the Americana's unique appeal is still its warm, casual, convivial atmosphere. The staff goes out of the way to help you, just as was the case back in 2007.

Nothing at the Americana could have been better. The only negative goes to Heavenly for jacking its lift tickets up to an obscene $185 a day. We blew off Heavenly and went to Sierra.

Swift friendly check in. Great facilities swimming pool jacuzzi sauna and DVD rentals. Good kitchen facilities in the rooms. Walk from central shops and bars and skiing gondola. Didn't get up early enough for complementary breakfast.

Nothing really, it was 7 below freezing the evening of our stay but the room was toasty war m. Didn't brave the heated swimming pool.

Good place to stay while visiting Tahoe. Pretty big, warm and comfortable room with a lot of useful kitchen appliances. Spacious parking lot, there shouldn't be a problem with parking. Very friendly staff and smooth check-in/check-out process.

Breakfast was pretty average, during our stay there were only donuts, banana muffins, bananas and boiled eggs. Front door is not very soundproof, you will hear everything if somebody decides to have a conversation close to your room.

The staff was friendly and they had fun activities! We has smores on Saturday night, so fun! The room was a good size and the kitchenette was great. Bathroom was also really nice. Continental breakfast was good. Had a small area to play in the snow. They had dvds, books and games to borrow which was great!

The sofa bed was an air mattress, which wasn't horrible but not what I was expecting. The room we were in must have been cooked in earlier that day because when we got there it still smelled of spices.

We visited during summer and really enjoyed the swimming pool. The staff was really nice and friendly. Walking distance to Heavenly Village, where we took the gondola up the mountain. Excelent lodging option for families with kids.

So friendly and helpful. We needed more pillows and was quickly handed them. The feeling of wanted from the staff and other vacationers was overwhelming. The events planned were fantastic

The parking was crowded but we got a spot everyone.

The breakfast was a nice. It was quick for grabbing a fast bite before heading out for activities. It offered good options from sweet donuts to healthier options, like toast, boiled eggs, and oatmeal. We asked to have our friends stay in the room next to us and it turned out to be a room that had the option of adjoining with ours via shared doors. The small kitchen offered a lot so we had a generously sized small fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and dishes, glassware and utensils. There are picnic tables located throughout the grounds and a bbq in the pool area. Pool toys are provided, as are a nice selection of board games.

There is no a/c and it was a warm weekend. We were actually able to stay comfortable due to the large amount of fans provided (ceiling fans, and plug-in fans). The hot tub was nice but a little small.
