The location was great. You are near many places to purchase anything you want/need. Short drive to emerald bay and Baldwin beach. A favorite of ours is sugar pine. We came at a great time since there were bears roaming the area.

We stayed in room 108. The room was penetrated with cigarette smoke smell. That was not cool at all. Even the towels smelled. We stayed 2 nights. By the time we left our bags and clothes smelled like cigarettes. For the price the rooms are very bare. You only get a tv. Nothing else. Just two pillows and one blanket. Nothing extra.

The property was well maintained and the room was clean

The room and bathroom was very small. I am a smaller person and I could barely turn around the in the shower without hitting the walls. The bed was extremely uncomfortable

I liked the location and it was clean.

I wasnt aware of any breakfast, the pool was empty (should update the website, that was disappointing since you dont offer AC in the room) No screens on the window, no frig to put our food in and was praying no bear would come through the window since we had to leave it open. It was so hot in there. Toilet seat should have been replaced also, looked stained and dirty.

Any facility in the beautiful Lake Tahoe that provides shelter is valuable. That said it also needs to meet minimun standard for comfort.

This property may be one of the last to move to modern AC/Heat. Summer temps are not extreme yet, but the room was warm. they installed decent windows but had no screens. Open window gives no security. Moveable fan useless. Ceiling fan useless especially with being unable to turn on the fan without lights. No secondary door security provided. For those of us in the senior but not disabled catagory I found the older toilet to be extremely low.

The location was near Pope Beach on Lake Tahoe, and Emerald Bay Lodge was easy to find.

We booked a room with 2 double beds for 3 adults and a kitchen, with air conditioning on Booking.com at Emerald Bay Lodge. We were given a room with 1 double bed, no kitchen, no air conditioning and had to request a fold up bed for the 3rd adult, which hardly fit the space and was very uncomfortable to sleep on. They didn't charge us for the fold up bed, but the unit was not what we ordered. And the room was very old, run down, worn out. The security of the lock on the room was not very secure.
