Reviews of The Woodfords Inn describe a friendly, hands-on owner and staff, clean recently renovated rooms with cozy cabin touches, and a quiet, scenic setting convenient for Kirkwood and hiking, with complimentary snacks and a simple continental breakfast.
Some guests reported thin walls and occasional late-night noise. A few mentioned maintenance or comfort issues such as loud or broken climate control, limited hot water, or dim lighting, and there are occasional bugs. The remote location also means nearby dining can be scarce or close early. Expect a simple, comfortable base for mountain days.

Really bad experience! No hot water, and they didn’t call us and let us know before we checked in. If we know ahead, we won’t even be there. And there is no kettle in the room, I send my little brother to ask for bottles of water. (They have piles of bottle water in the reception room) but the front desk lady refused to give my brother a bottle, also refuse to offer a kettle even they have it. I would definitely not recommend this place, so terrible!

The Woodfords Inn is a lovingly renovated property. It is clear that the owner has a vision for what a nice, modern motel stay should be. The flooring is new, there are beautiful red Galanz fridge/freezers and matching microwaves. The new bedspreads are soft, fuzzy and warm. The towels are even embroidered with the inn's name. The host showed me to my room to demonstrate the use of the key. Breakfast is continental: yogurt, croissants, cereal, candy :-). Good variety of k-cup coffees.

This place was awesome! The view, nature around you, secluded from the business of Lake Tahoe, cleanliness of the rooms and loved their outdoor tables and seating area. The host Han is amazing and his hospitality is beyond what I have ever experienced when staying at an Inn, hotel or motel. I highly recommend staying here and I would definitely come back!

It’s a quaint little inn maintained with so much heart by Mr Han. It’s not luxury accommodations but the rooms were clean. There’s fridge and a microwave which is might convenient.

I would have rated this as average until I saw they charged me more than the price stated on Orbitz. Due to the fact that I tried multiple times via phone and email to contact the property prior to my stay with no success, I don’t have high expectations in getting this made right. The AC unit was broken in my room, which they were aware of before I arrived, because they put an extra fan in the room. Unfortunately it was hot enough that the extra fan didn’t do much. I ended up leaving a day early because it was just too hot. The room itself was fine… I killed a beetle and a big spider, but the place is in the mountains. The owner is very nice and seems interested in making sure guests are happy. Until I saw the overcharge, I was on the fence about booking again. With that and the fact that you can’t get a hold of them unless you’re at the property, I would absolutely not stay here again.

The hotel management is extremely friendly. They go out of their way to accommodate the guest. We found a few bugs in the rooms, which is probably normal considering the area. The Hotel is in the middle of nowhere, generally true with a lot of hotels in this area. Dining and other options are scarce, if any. The nearest town, South Lake Tahoe, is about 25 miles from here.

Room was clean but rundown: there was a hole in the middle of the floor - the whole large area was carpeted but it was like a tile 3 in deep was missing in one spot) - the weirdest thing. Ceiling light wasn’t working, we were told to use night stand lamp instead :> some neighbors decided to play techno music at 10 pm, the walls are paper thin; the proprietor didn’t do anything to stop it; luckily it stopped before 11 but the fact the front desk was non-cooperating will not make us come back. Bad management overall!

When we checked in at night - we were told the heater in our room was very loud. They apologized and brought extra blankets. They were right it was very loud. So loud there’s no way my family could sleep with it on. So we turned it off and our room was so cold I had to sleep wearing a hat. Then at 5 am the heater suddenly turned on and woke us all up. I will not stay here again. There’s no way anyone can sleep with how loud that heater was. The alternative of freezing in the room is unacceptable in the middle of winter.

I was honestly moved by the level of service at this motel. The rooms are recently redecorated, modern, and clean (much of the furniture having been built by the owner and his family). The owner stayed up late to welcome us when we arrived, laid out a tray of snacks for us, stocked the fridge with cold water, and the next morning made us coffee. The shower had good warmth and water pressure. The air conditioning worked well. The only thing I'd change is to make the bed more firm - The soft mattress topper felt comfy to lay back onto but was a bit hot to sleep on.

This place was awesome! The view, nature around you, secluded from the business of Lake Tahoe, cleanliness of the rooms and loved their outdoor tables and seating area. The host Han is amazing and his hospitality is beyond what I have ever experienced when staying at an Inn, hotel or motel. I highly recommend staying here and I would definitely come back!

It was very convenient for our little ski trip at Kirkwood. Han, the owner, was so kind and gave us so many goodies for breakfast and snacks for skiing.

The Woodfords Inn is a lovingly renovated property. It is clear that the owner has a vision for what a nice, modern motel stay should be. The flooring is new, there are beautiful red Galanz fridge/freezers and matching microwaves. The new bedspreads are soft, fuzzy and warm. The towels are even embroidered with the inn's name. The host showed me to my room to demonstrate the use of the key. Breakfast is continental: yogurt, croissants, cereal, candy :-). Good variety of k-cup coffees.

Convenience of check in and out. Left key under the mat since we came in later than expected. The continental breakfast was perfect including lots of beverages to choose from.

Convenient location and nice property. Friendly front desk and generous supply of water, coffee and light snack at the front desk. I think the price is convenient. We liked the place and are coming back. At the time of our stay, people who were staying downstairs were so loud till late night and I could not sleep well. This is not property issue and I hope guests would be a little more sensible.

The staffs are amazing! Very friendly and warm to guests. We stayed there for the Death Ride cycling event and they opened up the breakfast 4AM for us. Even the day after, they offer so much extra breakfast to ensure we stay in good shape.

I was skeptical that a low-priced two-star hotel would meet my standards, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great value with friendly management. I wish they had better signage because I drove past it the first time and cellular internet was sparce, but that's the worst thing I can say. Great comfortable rooms!
