Elevation Lodge was a pleasant surprise — comfy beds, and a cool, updated vibe. Loved being just minutes from the lake and village. It’s a fresh take on Tahoe lodging without losing that cozy feel. Would definitely stay again!

Horrible place, dirty bed, we had to grab sheets and our own pillows from our camping gear, the front desk is absolutely no help. I have never been to a worst hotel. If you care for your safety and health, don’t stay at Elevation Lodge!
