Wonderful hotel! I didn't want a "casino-like" experience so we chose this resort hotel. The room and king size bed were very comfortable and accommodating! The room had absolutely everything we needed. The hotel IS kept up well. The architecture of it is not new which may make people feel as if it's not kept up. NOT true. The hotel architecture had more of a charm to it which I felt added to a Lake Tahoe feel... Restaurant was great as well. We didn't rent a car. Everything was within walking distance including the beach (8 minutes) which was $8 pp to get in (it's a tourist area, deal with it). The area does have more of a "tourist" like feel with restaurants, shopping, casinos all within walking distance. But that's what we wanted. Whole area is very nice, with much of it looking new. If you want something more secluded and less "touristy" this entire area is not for you. Otherwise, I would absolutely recommend this hotel!!
