The Beach Retreat & Lodge at Tahoe

Not on the beach as advertised

Pros: The room was clean but tiny. View of Safeway. Thought I was getting a room on the beach at Tahoe. Other similar rooms were a quarter of the price but I was paying to be on the beach with a nice view.

Cons: Make sure you call and get a room on the beach at this price. Most of the rooms have no beach at all. Felt ripped off after I saw my room!

Great location but needs more TLC

Pros: Location on the lake front was excellent. Hammocks to enjoy the views and outdoor. Dock excellent for watching the sunsets.

Cons: Buildings are old. We stayed on 1st floor and heard every creak and Crack as the people above us walked around. I was aware of their bathroom and showering habits. Our room was not the cleanest. Walls had lots of spots on it, smelled like bug spray but they tried to cover up with lemon scent. Our bed was extremely firm and so we're the pillows. With the noise from above and the uncomfortable bed it was difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Not what I was expecting

Pros: The staff was very nice and accommodating! Since we decided to not stay there for our vacation they let us cancel without any pay!

Cons: Our room was next door to house keeping. Washing machines were right next door which were very loud. Outside our door was the delivery dock with lots of confusion. The beach was not as groomed as I was expecting from a resort. Dog poop and cigaret buts. The water there was full of algie which I'm not sure if that is due to the dock? The Ticki bar was full of people which is great for young party kids. But we were looking for a resort with a pleasant, clean and family friendly!!

Nice location but

Pros: Location is very nice. Not too far from anything. Right on the beach is the best part.

Cons: Beach is busy with watercraft. Beds are nice but the bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. Towels had stains. Lots of bugs around. Bathroom floor had dead bugs laying around. Last but not least was charged twice for my rooms. Once by the booking app (kayak) and then when I checked out. Kayak charged me more than the hotel. More a complaint about kayak/getaway.com.
