I’ve been using the Sierra Inn for my Sierra at Tahoe ski bike trips for about 8 years now. I’ll be using it for another 8 years. It’s clean and provides a great place to stay after a long day of ski biking. The staff is always friendly and great. The remodeling they have done was a needed improvement on an older motel. If I stay here over a chain brand, I can stay an extra 2 days for the money I save as and get a 4 day ski biking trip over a 2 day ski biking trip. If you want a clean room with a nice comfy bed and directv, and good wifi, this is the place, but book it early because it books up during the ski season!

Easy access to slopes. Good breakfast spot next door. Nice touch with the free pastries. Only downside was check in process since it there was no one at the counter. The guy left the key under the door mat.
