Remodeled older hotel, nicely styled. Unfortunately they nickel and dime you for everything - not even free coffee/tea in the lobby. $4.00 for an individual s’mores roasting package!? A turnoff. Location good tho.

Just ok

Nothing to do at this property. The carpet was dirty and the bed was not super comfortable. The AC unit was super bright all night. You could hear noises all night.

Base camp is right in the middle of everything you need! All in walking distance! I have stayed in many hotels/motels and Base Camps noise level was zero! I absolutely recommend it!

I was so pleasantly surprised with this property. I was nervous from some older photos but they renovated this beautifully the room did have a slightly musty smell but it was clean and exactly what we needed for our road trip. The staff was nice but not overly friendly. Would love complimentary coffee in the morning though! My kids loved the games though. We’d come back for sure.

Great bed, linens were nice, towels were fluffy. The staff was pleasant and helpful at each interaction. Had a great cup of coffee in the lobby for a very fair price. Had dinner across the street at Jake’s On The Lake, a Tahoe favorite!

I love this place. I always come here. I’m a local in Reno and I’ve always been happy. It’s great that you don’t have to drive anywhere. You could walk to all the restaurants as well. Staff is so friendly. The rooms are super cute and it’s quiet.

The employee at check in was so annoyed we were 3 min late. Ok I understand he wanted to go home, but in the morning at check out, he was still grump and annoyed we had to talk to him. We couldn’t just leave because we had an issue to work out. He was just grumpy grumpy grumpy.

Only stayed one night. I didn’t have enough time to really see the grounds due to the short stay and being tired from a day at the lake. The location was good walkable and just a short drive to kings beach. The complaint I have is that the shower head was terrible could barely wash the soap off your body.
