Worst hotel in Lake Tahoe

The bathroom floor had water because of the leaking shower and there was missing tiles on the ceiling of the shower. The ceiling in the room damage and the bed was so hard to sleep on. The floors in the room were missing pieces and the lights kept flickering when on. When my husband and I were trying to sleep in people were stomping above us.

Horrible conditions

The fireplace did not work I have kids with me, and we froze all night even after your maintenance personal came in and adjusted it saying give it time it will get warm. The fireplace was not the fireplace that you have in the other rooms. Even if it did work, I could not imagine this tiny little fireplace warming up this whole room. -The TV is 19" while the other rooms have large tv's. It was Incredibly difficult for us to see. We had to cram in one bed just to watch tv. -There was one frying pan that had eggs still stuck to the pan and the pan was warped. I could not make a full breakfast due to the condition of the kitchen. I thought since there was only one pan, I would place the hash browns in the oven, and the oven didn't work. I now have to spend more money taking my family out to eat a full meal. -The towels were dirty, especially the wash rags. Clear dirt visually seen on the wash rags. -There was no laminate flooring. We had worn out carpet that was dirty and smelled. I appreciate your urgent response to this matter. I do not want a partial credit; I expect a full credit.

Warped frying pan that had egg stuck to it. And the stove did not even work.

Convenient location for dining, Heavenly ski resort, and shops. You can walk to gondola. Older facility but room was clean. Nice to have kitchenette for breakfast and snacks. Staff was quick to respond to request for remote batteries and light bulb needed. Heating worked well. Overall, the facility could use an update on rooms and exterior but seemed safe and was fine for our ski tri.
