Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room isn’t the best & the bathroom wasn’t cleaned well. There was other peoples hair all over the floor, sticking to my socks & hair on the walls & stuff. I used my flip flops to shower. The staff is friendly & I’d come back. Is better than nothing. Not a bad layout of a room.
We loved our recent stay at Elevation lodge in South Lake Tahoe. Everything was great from start to end. We would recommend this place anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxed stay!
