Lake Ridge South Lake Tahoe

The hotel is great for the value! It's very close to the casinos and all the touristy shopping stuff. It's also walkable to the beach. The nearby "Lakeside" beach is private and the hotel provides vouchers that let's their guests access that private beach for a cheaper cost. They sometimes sell out to the general public so this voucher guarantees your entry. The beach is about 3 blocks away. Took me and my gf about 10 min to get there. Very easy flat walk along the road of the other hotels so it's very safe and walkable. We walked there with a wagon and backpacks full of beach stuff with no issues. No need to drive there unless you're extremely lazy. We forgot some chips in our room and I was able to walk back to get them no problem. The hotel is older so property could use some upgrades and cleaning but it's honestly not bad. I usually stay in "nice" hotels and thought this was fine and comfortable enough. I would stay here again. I liked the self check in. No waiting to be helped by front desk. There was no daily room service but I didn't mind. The room was MUCH bigger than I expected so that was nice. We went on 4th of July so there was tons of college kids partying around the whole area. It was loud at times but nothing that bad in my opinion. Everything you quiet by 10 or so. Parking was free and there was always a spot available when we returned after being out. Wifi was good. Water was good. Mini fridge and microwave were nice to have..mini fridge got nice and cold!

It was a very good value for $125 per night including tax. Good location in walking distance to Heavenly Village, Gondola, and surrounding areas. Room, including the bathroom, was very clean. Laminate / wood flooring. No old, dirty carpets. Electronic number lock on the front door with online check-in. Saw the same staff most days of my stay. They were pleasant and helpful. They seem to be doing their best with what they have. For example, they gave out old bath towels for use with "sports equipment" like skis, boots, etc. Beds were firm and comfortable. Bathroom fan did not work in our room. Staff said that even if it works, the bathroom fans just exhaust the air into the room and not outside the room. If you have several people staying in a room, it's going to be difficult to keep the toilet smell out of the bathroom and your room. We had to flush quickly and open the front door for a few minutes to let fresh cold air in during the winter to get the smell out. They have a Tesla destination charger (no fee). This was a pleasant surprise. However, due to limited number of parking spots, gasoline vehicles routinely park in the EV spot. Whenever I arrived after 5pm, I lost the charging spot to a gasoline vehicle. I was able to charge twice in 5-6 days. One of the two staircases was closed off possibly due to structural issues. Due to this and the bathroom fan issue, I wonder about the property management's desire to maintain the property.

The per night rate was great, property had a EV charger so that was a huge plus, the room wasn’t cleaned out which made the experience bitter.

The room super spacious, clean and quiet even in a Friday night in August. King size bed was very comfortable. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Electric vehicle charging available in parking lot, but if you don’t have a Tesla, bring an adapter.

Parking is a little tough late at night.

Room was very clean. Parking lot is small but found a space. I would stay here again.

Need to fix stairway. Crumbling. Almost slipped

One of the staircases was damaged, so it couldn’t be used, and the parking lot was really small, but other than that, it was a good experience. I liked the contactless check-in. Using a code to get into the room works pretty well, and you don’t have to carry a key card with you. The room was very spacious and clean. It is within easy walking distance of Heavenly Village, so that is very nice.

PRO: The great thing about this hotel was that it was very close to the Caesar outdoor arena, about a 5 minute walk. Even walking to the hotel at 10pm felt safe. CONS: The hotel is dated, but the room we had was spacious. Even though the vanity area was very small for 4 women sharing it we managed. It would've been nice to have extra towels, hand towels and wash cloths. We also noticed the floor felt gritty so we kept our shoes on. The parking lot had a tight entrance so we parked in the spaces in front of the hotel.

Small 2 story motel with updated interior, tasteful furnishings and no carpet. The fridge has a separate freezer that kept our ice packs and breakfast sandwiches frozen. Beds were clean and comfortable. Being on the first floor we heard some creaking from the upstairs neighbors walking around and occasional rushing water but it was not disruptive. Walkable to the casinos and lake. Closest beach is private charging $30 for adults and $20 for kids but you can get vouchers from the motel for only $5 per person.

Huge safety issue with the door lock missing screws on both sides, broken latch to lock the door and i was given a DIRTY room. I was told by the manager at 4:30p that our room wasn't ready and i could either wait until she got to our room because the cleaners didn't show up, or i could drive around and come back later..well it wasn't ready even after 6pm. When we finally get inside after calling and leaving a message on the hotels doorbell ring camera to get the key because our room wasn't keyless and No One was on site i received a message on how to get the key, and our room hadn't been cleaned at all. Dirty bed covers, All mirrors had fingerprints and the one over the sink had toothpaste splatter, dirty toilet, dirty tub, the shower curtain had a horrible smell, the microwave was dirty and missing a knob, the fridge was dirty on the outside and inside it had some sticky brown stuff, and even the window blinds had stains. When i called the manager she said she had cleaned it herself and she was sorry it wasn't up to my standards. After telling her i had taken pictures of how dirty it was she said she could clean it "again" the next day because she wasn't on site anymore or we could cancel the room and said the door wasn't a safety issues at all...unfortunately i was unable to cancel and i had to clean the room myself(Toilet, tub, restroom floor, microwave and fridge) and used our OWN blankets and sheets to cover all the beds to be able to sleep on.

Rooms were Clean, Self Check In Process was pretty straightforward. Loved how it was walking distance from everything. For the price, well worth it and would stay again!

seemed recently remodeled, clean & comfortable.

Room was very clean. Parking lot is small but found a space. I would stay here again.

The staff was very accommodating and helpful which I liked, however the floors were super dirty and I had to wear slippers to keep my feet clean since there was dirt and dust! I also did not have any towels and the shower was still dirty and wet when I first arrived to my room, luckily the manager was able to quickly bring towels to the room and replace a lamp that did not light as well. The room itself was fine, all the staff was great and helpful.

Overall the location is great, pretty clean and specious. Only issue we had was the bed sheets and pillow cases weren’t changed.

Wouldn't stay here again. First room they gave us had crumbs on bed, we thought maybe just on outside so we pulled back covers and there was food crumbs, hair, and a plastic part of fork and some kind of pin. Sheets clearly not washed. We called and manager apologized and immediately put us in another room. That room was better. However the air-conditioner leaked all over the floor, so did the fridge. We had to use our towels for that and only have 1 each to ourselves. The shower had no water pressure either it sucked. The room itself was spacious, nice bed, newer decor. If it wasn't cheapest room we could find we would have stayed somewhere else. Easy check in/out process and quick response to my issues. But wet floor and crappy water pressure was deal breaker.

Our feet were all black, so I checked the floor and it was disgusting. I checked a few different spots and the towels were black from just a quick wipe. There was a hole in ceiling above the shower. Management was great about giving suggestions in the area, location was great, discount beach passes were fantastic. It would've had 5 stars if it wasn't for the disgusting floor!

It was nice and not gross. There was hair all over our hotel when we got there like the floors had not been cleaned at all hard to see in the pictures but there was gunk all over the floor. and the shower does not have a door or curtain of any sort which means the whole bathroom floor ends up soaked. They do not supply a bath Matt to even soak the water up with. If you plan on having multiple people using the bathroom at once like someone getting ready and someone showering I’d think again unless you want to be soaked after. Other than that it was quiet and not gross with like bugs or anything just whoever cleaned it for us didnt do a great job

Had a nice stay. Rooms are clean but there was some mold in the bathroom ceiling. Lots of dining options, gas and shopping close by. Easy parking and felt safe.

Exactly as described. Newly renovated room interior was nice.

Beds were extremely uncomfortable. The shower head kept falling down. Water pressure was extremely low.,,The owners were very friendly however. Would not stay here again.

Convenient location, walking distance to Heavenly and casinos. Room simple but clean . Only complaint was noisy metal bedframe ( hard too) and very noisy fridge . Other that great

Nice clean room - could use more shower pressure.

Beds seemed smaller than a queen and were creeky. The base was thin metal and sounded like a boot camp wall locker everytime you’d unavoidably kicked them

This place was great! Probably the best little motel I've stayed in in the South Lake Tahoe area. THE BEDS WERE SO COMFY! Literally the most comfy bed I've had at a hotel even including the high end ones. footsteps up above REALLY loud and very thin walls but other than that great location; walkable to the Oyster Bar/stateline restaurants also only 10 min walk to the beach but go before 9 am before they charge you 3 bucks to enter LMAO. just walk it in the morning it's not that nice a beach anyways. really nice decor and room. nice shower pressure too. contactless check in. Room 107's air conditioning does NOT work though...it only cools to 72 degrees even if you turn it down to lowest setting on highest fan as of 9/4/24.

We really enjoyed our stay! The room was very spacious and it’s located within super easy walking distance to state line, restaurants, and shops! I’ll definitely book here again.

Location was good. Just the walls are super thin. We had really loud neighbors. Even when they weren’t being loud you could hear everything. Facility was clean and service was good.

Likes laminate floor and big bathroom and big room ! Dislikes-at night very noisy from ac unit

This hotel was an unexpected treasure! It was close to everything! It was clean and spacious! The staff (Lauren in the office) was a great communicator and was very pleasant and helpful! We will return again!

Check in was horrendous. Manager seemed drunk. Was there at 345pm couldnt get in room till after 515pm. Checkin was ridiculously un organized. Manager lied. Finally got in to our room but missed our reservation at dinner. Bathroom door was broke. Bathroom shower door was broken and wouldnt close. Mirrors were fealthy. Floor was fealthy. I have all pictures too. I eish there was a minus star rating.

There was confusion over the reservation. We did not get the check in information until about 6:00 PM. Since I had talked to the manager and she had said that we would hear between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, I assumed that we did not have a room. We checked in elsewhere.

Great boutique style hotel in South Lake Tahoe. Second visit to this hotel. Definitely seems nicer than the other non-casino option. Also comes with a beach access pass. Amazingly easy check-in via a text message with a door code. There is a reason this place is rated so much higher than the comparable nearby hotels.

I never heard from you guys as to our check in information. I called and called and there was no answer. So I had to call hotels.com 45 min after check in was supposed to happen not to mention 1hour and 45 after you said I was going to receive my check in information. Hotels.com tried to contact you and nothing. So they had to move us to a different hotel and charge me again. So I received a charge from you guys, which you should refund by the way. And a charge from the hotel we HAD to stay at because we were already in Lake Tahoe 5 hours away from home. Horrible experience, having to wait outside at a park in the cold for you guys to email me. And I have 2 little kids.

The check in process was a little bit of a hassle. It’s contactless check in. When I tried to check in through their link it kept telling me I was using the wrong card. But I wasn’t. When I got there I couldn’t find anyone who worked there. Luckily after walking around the property I found the manager (who was so nice) and told me it was an Expedia glitch? But she had my reservation and let me in. I never saw her again through my stay and they didn’t answer the phones so if I hadn’t found her idk what I would’ve done. I ran into a couple other people in the parking lot throughout my trip that seemed to be having similar issues. Pros: Good location. Decent rooms. Nice employee. The keyless entry is nice. Cons: The room was a little dirty with old food on top of the fridge and hair in the shower. Check in process isn’t very efficient. There’s an extra $150 fee when you check in for damages. You get it back (I still haven’t though) but it took a big hit out of my daily budget. I didn’t see anything about the fee until the morning of in their text. My neighbor said the same thing. The room was comfortable but I am not sure I’d stay again because the check in process makes me nervous. I don’t want to end up stuck with no where to go because my check in on the website isn’t working.

Clean, easy check in

This hotel requires to check in via an email that will provide door code for your room. Check in is at 4PM. I had two rooms booked and by 7pm only one room was ready and zero communication from the hotel. Keep in mind no one man’s the lobby.

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel! The keyless entry was easy, parking was easy, room was big and clean, bed comfortable, location is wonderful, and you can’t beat the price! We will return!

No one to contact in case of emergencies...

The property is a block away from the main highway in Tahoe. Close to casinos, restaurants and shops.

It was very easy to get checked in, the room was clean, and it is walkable to state line which is win!

We had a wonderful time at Lake Tahoe. The hotel was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. We were able to message management quite easily via text. The check-in process was simple and online. Really liked how it was close to many restaurants, state parks, and beaches. I would definitely stay here again.

Prime Location

Lake Ridge was just what I expected. No bells and whistles but a great comfortable place with easy walkable access to the Heavenly Gondola. Room was simple but clean with good beds and quiet.

Great location

Excellent location, great bang for your buck, walkable to beach and main area of downtown. Stayed 1 night and was ideal for our situation. Outside is a bit weathered, but rooms were clean and tidy. Only issue was tap in bathtub was a bit wonky.

Great location and walking distance to stores and restaurants. Parking was easy and my friends and I felt safe and comfortable. Would stay here again.

Nice property and nearby South Lake Tahoe main market. Very clean with on premises parking facilities. Good restaurant in walkable distance. There are plenty of other good restaurants within 1.5 miles.

Nice location. Good food option nearby.

Great location near plenty of restaurants; walk to the lake and to everything you need. Rooms were comfortable and the manager was very helpful and friendly.

This was my first stay at the property and I am very happy that we decided to stay here. Good value with a big room with two queen beds. Room included fridge, microwave and coffee facilities. It also included bathroom toiletries. The location was very central, close to the Nevada border and with easy walking access to the Heavenly gondola area for shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

The contactless check-in was easy and convenient. Good location to walk to lake or to dining options.

Good place to visit the lake, night-life available. Bed was clean and comfortable. Old style motel with small rooms. Limited paring spaces. No breakfast, but room had coffee and microwave. Was fine for overnight.

No frills hotel that was solid for a night stay. Bed was super comfy (foam mattress). You get access to the beach + there was a nice restaurant at the hotel next store we had wonderful breakfast at (Maggies) on the patio. The only downside was a flickering light right outside our door.
