What guests think

At Quality Inn South Lake Tahoe, travelers consistently praise the walkable location near the beach, Heavenly Village, and casinos, while feedback is mixed on cleanliness, room size and noise, and the property’s aging condition.

Many guests find the staff friendly and helpful, though housekeeping is not daily unless requested. Breakfast has ample hot options, but the dining room is small and often overcrowded with lines at peak times. Facilities include a pool and hot tub, a gym, self-service laundry, and pet-friendly rooms, but parking is tight and buildings sit on both sides of the street. Expect a convenient, good-value base with tradeoffs in polish and space.

a surprisingly good place to stay. the place may not be modern but they keep the place clean and the staff are friendly and accommodating. the place offers access to a private beach next to a marina . the star of the shoe is the free breakfast. i was expecting a continental breakfast what we got was a full breakfast bar, replete with eggs, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, coffee and juice. there’s also a waffle maker. tge attendant kept the place clean and stocked at all times. what a great deal. also there are plenty of scooters that you can use to get around for dining and shopping pr exploring the area. you just get on and off. will definitely stay again

The property is an easy walk to the lake. They offer $5 vouchers to enter the beach. It’s about $25 otherwise. It’s walking distance also to the main road and other restaurants. Our room was looking out towards a fenced in garden. It could have been beautiful but there were no chairs or tables. There was even a gazebo but nowhere to sit. It was really too bad. We did not have a balcony but you can reserve a room with balcony. The property is on two sides of a road and you cannot always park on the same side as your room. It was a very busy hotel. They were full all week. I booked the room 5 months before and it was a good value. I would return.

Had a two night stay for the summer in Tahoe. Staff were very friendly. 24/7 gym that is very well equipped. All Rogue branded gym equipments. Heated pool. 5-7 min walk to Lakeside beach that is free after 5 with voucher from the front desk. There was a Karen that tried to check in but there was an error with her booking and she gave a lot of attitude but the front desk person was very calm and respectful despite the rudeness. Will definitely come back to this location.

The location of the in is good! Just a few minutes away to walk at the beach and to nearby shops, cinema, bike rentals ,restaurants, and target. Rooms are spacious with refrigerators and microwaves. They serve good breakfast (make sure you're there early. Otherwise, you'll have no seating at their dining area). You can bring your breakfast to go in your room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free on-site parking, very good amenities like a nice gym, hot tub that will fit 3 to 4 people, and a decent size outdoor pool. They have a community laundry, soda vending machine ($1 per can of soda), and community kitchen, which I find it very useful for a long vacation so you can cook and prepare meals. My only comment is that the carpets by the halfways by the building across the main check-in smells like urine. I saw that they were taking care of it, but I wish that when we come back, it will be smelling good. I recommend this inn for its convenience and affordability. I will definitely come back.

We stayed in the hot tub suite which was spacious & clean. The last room on the top floor it was very quiet. The carpet was alarming. It’s in such bad need of replacement. And Wright out our window was the pool which was full of moldy water about halfway. Pretty scary to look at.

Beds and pillows were supremely comfortable. Had an upstairs unit, very quiet. Parking was adequate for 2 cars. Staff was very nice and responsive. Layout of property includes 3 buildings, apparently due to acquisitions of neighboring motels, one of which has a very small pool and hot tub and one with a cramped and crowded breakfast area for way too many guests. Navigating the crowd at breakfast is not for the faint of heart or the impatient.

Best thing was the continental breakfast and the staff, very friendly! Here’s the problems.. it was EXTREMELY dirty. We had ants in our bed, the AC filter smelt so bad that we had to open the window to cool it down. The carpet was extremely stained and dirty. The toilet would barley flush.. again the staff were amazing and I realize there’s only so much then can do but it was very dirty and that itself wasn’t pleasant

Despite its favorable location, the room was severely neglected and lacked cleanliness. The comforters were in a state of poor hygiene, and there was a lack of attention to cleaning the room or providing towels. Additionally, numerous light bulbs were left on, and the air conditioner was malfunctioning and heavily dusty. The breakfast was satisfactory, but the dining room was overcrowded due to the high number of guests.

Room 163, rooms need to be cleaned better. The bathroom smelled like mildew and had black plastic debris on the floor. The toilet rocked when you sat on it. Shower needs wall repair - bubbled paint from upstairs room leak. Room had an odor that would come back . Carpet needs washing, carpet is black in color and had blacker smugges and stains......Walls need cleaning, stains around entry door, lighting switches, and bachroom.

The room was clean and modernized. The walls very very thin so it was a bit noisy, especially at night. The bedding was above average. The in-room Keurig smelled like rotten cabbage. We really wanted to breakfast, but it was way too crowded. No one monitors entry to breakfast and it was uncomfortably packed. We watched people from surrounding lodging come for the free breakfast. The freeloaders confirmed it themselves, it is not speculation. The breakfast was a selling point for us to book there, but we couldn't even get to it.

My husband and I stayed there for one night. The hotel is very close from downtown. Five minutes walk to the stores and restaurants. Breakfast was ok. They did have a variety of cereals and waffles, eggs and sausage patties I did reserved the room with one queen bed. I regretted later because the room was so small. For one person it might be ok. For two was super tight. I felt like I was in Perú. Where everything is tight and small. One thing I did like it a lot is the light. The room we stayed has those day light lamps. That was so nice. We requested a room on the first level. They said no. No elevator only steps up. Last thing. If you are claustrophobic do not stayed in the one bed room. It is really tight to move around.

It was a great stay. For an affordable hotel, it was decently comfy. By that, I mean the room was clean. It looked like parts of it was still being renovated or something, but it got the job done. No bugs, no stains, no drama. The beds are a bit firmer then I would have liked, I guess, but that's a growing trend with many of the hotels out there now. Their continental breakfast includes all of the typical items, including waffle makers and a mini pancake machine. Like many places in Tahoe, parking is a little tight, so try to keep that in mind when it comes to what vehicle you're driving. Too many large trucks in that parking lot can be cumbersome for others. Service was absolutely awesome. Roger and the rest of the staff behind the counter we're terrific to talk to from start to finish. They're incredibly friendly and incredibly helpful. I would absolutely go back here again in the future.

Not so Quality Inn! I was afraid to walk on the carpet without sox or shoes on. The AC was super loud. We were given only 2 towels for 5 days and 4 nights. I had to ask for more. The room phone didnt work and I finally had to call from my own phone. They brought extra when requested. The room was only eligible to be cleaned after day 3 of being there. Even then I had to ask and request a full service clean. They forgot to leave new wash cloths, but by the time we returned from our day out I didnt want to have to walk over to the main office. They had a text bot but it didnt work for direct assistance. Finally they charged us for parking but we struggled to get a spot on our last night there. I will not be returning!

They only offered Service of rooms every 3 days, unless you request daily service. I did request the room to be serviced daily but they ignored it and after day 1 I collected fresh towels from reception on day 2 the room was serviced and fresh towels but the coffee and cups were still not refreshed !

Great price which includes breakfast. Continental breakfast was beyond the expectations. Lots of good choices. However, long line to get waffles. Families with children just occupied the territory around waffle maker station. We ended up getting pancakes. One downside: not enough chairs to fit everyone in the dining area. We ended up giving up our seats to an elderly couple and finishing up breakfast ourside in the cold weather. Great location, close to the lake and Heavenly village shopping and restaurants.
