The staff at the front desk was really amazing. Since the room was ready, he allowed an early check-in which really helped a lot. in general the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and has a fridge and microwave which is very convenient. The location is also great, a short walk to the Heavenly Gondola if you're there to ski.
Walls are pretty thin so if you have neighbors who are noisy, you'll hear them very well. Only had one night with noisy neighbors though, so it wasn't too bad.

Very clean! Short little walk to all the shopping & dining places, was perfect! Cute & cozy little room. We got the King room, they are small rooms but we knew that before we booked, perfect for a couple, bed was comfy, everything worked, TV had tons of channels & like I said... Very Clean! Had a little fridge & microwave too. Man at desk was very nice. Would definitely stay there again.
The only thing that I could think of is the parking. Small parking lot & it fills up at night but just squeeze in somewhere.

This was a good middle point between the west side of the lake and east side of the lake and walking distance to heavenly village. The staff was very very kind. Always helpful when we needed something and didn’t make you feel like you were a bother. Had microwave and fridge in room as well as a good AC unit which were what we needed this stay. We used the fan portion of the ac unit at night to keep the outside noise out. We are use to a loud heppa running at night so this was perfect to keep the noises from the street out. Ice downstairs to fill your bottles or water back packs is a plus as well.
Found some black hairs in the room, on the pillow, in the bathroom, and in the sink. Just a little off putting but understand this is what comes with hotels so we didn’t complain. Also toilet was clogged the first day but got a plunger no problem and our sink needed to be snaked because it clogged on our 4th day. But nothing that would keep us from returning. Parking Does fill up, and parking is a bit tight but they have enough spaces for one person per so you don’t have to worry about getting a spot.

Booked the room to attend a cycling event in Tahoe. I was looking for an economical (at least by Tahoe standards), clean, comfortable room in a convenient location. I received everything I was looking for. Room was small but adequate for 1 or 2 people. Parking was available directly outside the room. The room had been remodeled relatively recently, and was very clean. Microwave and small refrigerator were in the room, Starbuck’s directly across the street. The staff was extremely polite and helpful.
Nothing that i did no like.

Our room was perfect, clean, and our bed was super comfortable. There were many channels on TV, we had a microwave and a fridge, and the shower was nice. The location was perfect too, and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
It's very audible if someone in another room turns on the shower, or at least that's what we think the noise was. And there weren't many lamps.

I have passed by this simple motel for the past 40 years when staying in Tahoe, but would not have thought to book here if ist wasn't for some fo the great Booking.com reviewers. Thanks. Although the outside looks like your classic motel, The rooms have been renovated, with a large shower, a larger than mini-bar fridge, and a microwave. In our King Bed room the sink was seperate from the bathroom which was very comfortable for us. We paid the extra to be in a room in their single floor building so we didnt' have any issues of people above us. The owners are extremely lovely people and realy take care of their property. We saw them working to improve the facility everyday that we were there! (they had workers put in a walkway by the rooms while we were there. ) The location is central, and for us in walking distance to the ski lift, the beach, the shopping center and the casinos, yet off the main road so we did not hear any traffic. A realy good choice for a motel in Stateline, South Lake Tahoe
We liked everything - but I just want to make it clear that this is a motel, which is a cheaper accomadation compared to a hotel. It's an acommadation that offers a comfortable room to sleep in and allows you to park near your room. (Motel: Motorists + Hotel), So please do no expect to find here a dining hall and a bar! There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area. For a motel this property is one of the better ones we have stayed and for us, midweek in April it was probalby the best deal we had while traveling for 5 weeks.

There are plenty of electrical outlets and pillows. King bed was comfortable. Although room is small, there was just enough space to accommodate my stretching routine. Staff appears to be available 24/7. While my friends stayed at Hard Rock Hotel because of the dog friendly nature, I chose BJI because the room has a microwave and mini fridge so I can prepare my own healthy breakfast. Moreover, it was only a 10-15 minute walk to Hard Rock Hotel to load the truck and ready the boat for the day's fishing. Otherwise, Hard Rock Hotel charges $20 for parking.
Towels are replaced daily, but only the bath towels as I missed my face towel after the first night. On the last night, I asked at the front desk for face towels. For my short stay, I would have preferred no towel exchanges and would have requested it had I known that there was daily towel service. At 7am begins the coffee/tea service, but I was unable to utilize it because I was out the door by 5am for fishing and didn't return until after the coffee/tea service was closed. Upon arrival, I noticed our sink was leaking which makes me sad because of our CA drought. In the shower, the conditioner bottle did not pump out conditioner which you don't find out until you're in the shower.

The location was excellent. We walked to all the casinos and eating establishments very easily. Everything you need (shopping, food, entertainment) is practically right around the corner. Parking was great in September. I was able to park right in front of the room. The rooms were obviously refurbished recently, as older reviews of this hotel were really bad. Things must have really turned around at this hotel, because it was very nice and a great value.
I have no complaints. It's not the Four Seasons, but it's excellent for what it is. I'd rate it a solid 9.

Housekeeping was done always, and it was extremely difficult given that an ongoing blizzard made travel for some staff near impossible. Was very impressed with the dedication. Parking lot was consistently plowed during said blizzard. I was asked a few times to move my car to allow room for the plow which was no problem and I appreciated being given a chance to help. Owners were very friendly and knowledgable about the area and seemed down-to-earth / approachable.
Really being picky here, but better coffee options would be nice. Starbucks is across the street but sometimes I was in a rush in the morning to get to the mountain and needed a quicker option.

Clean room, cheerful and friendly staff, beautiful view. The hotel itself played it's role well, as a home base, and the staff were patient and quick.
The "breakfast" section was disappointing, just coffee or tea... and then the machine started leaking when I used it. Not the hotel's fault, but still an unfortunate experience.
