Quiet, Quaint on Ski Run Road. A close walk to beaches, boat rental and fast food and sunset dining with a view of Lake Tahoe! Free parking and wi-fi. Housekeeping on request was not needed for my 5 night stay but ask for, and got fresh towels. My wife and I were sorry to have to leave and will return. The touchiness check in process was extremely user friendly. The price point was exceptional and could have paid hundreds more per night and for what? An English muffin and some dry eggs in a neglected chafer dish. No thank you Hampton Inn. If your looking for the Ritz Carlton, don’t stay here but if your smart….you found the spot.

Unfortunately, the property had something die under the unit and we had to check out. They initially sent someone over with a plug in deodorizer. When we asked for our money back and checked out early they finally brought in a unit to help clean the air.
