Park Tahoe Inn

Stayed here for 3 nights August 2026, 2 adults and 1 child. Double room with 2 double beds. + Room was comfortable, beds were too, had all we needed including a fridge, extra towels, coffee machine, toiletries in bathroom which was also clean and comfortable. Room also had air con. Location was central to Heavenly. Parking in hotel. Lobby has free coffee making facilities. Hotel offers free bikes. Hotel offers towels for the beach plus chairs, no extra charge. - Parking $10 per night, not advertised at point of booking Hotel is a “motel-style” (UK visitors note it is not like a UK hotel, each room is like a separate apartment with its own exterior door) so to get a second-floor room you need to arrive earlier than the 4pm check-in and they charge $50 for early check in. Second floor is your option obviously but a reason behind the 2nd floor request is there’s frequent bears who come to the car park at night. Hotel is off Lake Tahoe boulevard, making it quite noisy at nighttime owing to the exterior-style rooms. Rooms are a little dated (agree with some other reviews) but they are clean and comfortable. Housekeeping only takes place on day 3 and 5, but you can request it earlier. WiFi isn’t strong, we ended up using 5G as a result.

Our two-night stay (July 2–3) at Hotel Becket was easily the most disappointing hotel experience of our three-week western road trip. The room was in desperate need of maintenance and deep cleaning. The carpets were heavily stained, the windows were filthy, and there was an astonishing amount of bird droppings—literally piled one to two inches high—immediately outside our front window. It was disgusting and made it obvious that basic exterior maintenance had been neglected for quite some time. The bathroom was even worse. The shower was the smallest I’ve ever used in a hotel, with soap scum covering the surfaces. The bathroom window tracks were filthy and had black mold growing in them. The shower head was so corroded it looked like it hadn’t been replaced in years and the water pressure was nonexistent. The room itself was also uncomfortable because there was nowhere to relax. Other than the bed, the only piece of furniture was a single desk chair. For a room intended for two people, not providing even one comfortable chair or small loveseat is hard to understand. The complimentary breakfast was another major disappointment. The eggs tasted like flavorless instant powdered eggs and were served cold. The sausage and breakfast potatoes were also cold. Even as a free breakfast, the quality was far below what most budget hotels provide. The location is about the only positive thing this hotel has going for it. Unfortunately, a great location cannot make up for dirty rooms, neglected maintenance, and a complete lack of comfort. There are far better places to stay in South Lake Tahoe. We would not stay here again and cannot recommend it.

Both rooms offered smelled musty. The pictures look nothing like the reality of room. Shower curtain fell down, electrical outlets in bathroom didn’t work. Sliding door to bathroom would open on its own so you could be exposed in bathroom if window treatment open. Staff friendly, great location and free bikes a bonus. Would not stay there again or recommend it. Also they ran out of on site parking spaces.
