Pros

Eight restaurants within 0.5 miles, including Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Lake Tahoe and Friday's Station Steak & Seafood

Walking distance to Van Sickle Bi-State Park (1 mile) and Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course (1.5 miles)

Ski Run Marina accessible at 1.5 miles

Multiple art galleries nearby, including Marcus Ashley Gallery and Benko Contemporary

“Rooms here appear freshly updated, though some visitors have noted lingering paint odors. The staff earns consistent praise for kindness and professionalism. Its location provides an easy jump to the casinos, but light and noise might be factors. Keep in mind the resort fee, as it doesn't necessarily reflect available amenities.”
