Front desk lady was lovely. Parking is a challenge (especially for high profile vehicles). There is a small underground parking garage but most people park in the spaces at street level. She was active in helping people get parked safely. We have stayed here a few times. Rooms are clean. Elevator is sketchy (makes lots of noise and permit expired in 2023). Exterior stairs also sketchy as concrete is crumbling on some of the stairs. Easy enough to skip a stair or two. There was a sign by the stairs indicating a safety concern and direction to use the elevator. After seeing the expired permit in the elevator I took my chances on the stairs. The upper rooms do have lake view. While it sounds unsafe, I’m still giving 4 stars: clean rooms, inexpensive and I spend my days in Tahoe taking my chances on my snowboard; I think I can navigate the stairs. 😉

I often book the Pepper Tree when I ski at Palisades. It is clean and conveniently located. Walls are a little thin, so sometimes you can hear your neighbor if they are being loud, but generally most people are just there to sleep :)

The shower was squirting water all over the bathroom and force was very weak. I expect a hotel that charges good money for a night to take these absolutely basic things.
