Stayed over the weekend, fireplace and coffee maker not working. Lodged official complaint to front office no action taken......the response from the guest service agent was there is nothing we can do. I called from my room as well no one came to check.

The check in procedure was painful and trying. It would have been nice if they could have been honest. We paid extra for a lake view & balcony but they told us the rooms with blocked views cost the same and they told us that was what we would get. Later asking a second person at the desk she said...

Wow! What a delightful place! The staff was fantastic from the first moment that I called and spoke with Noah who assigned us a lovely room with a gorgeous view! Also, Mario, Yvonne, Kevin and everyone at the front desk were so kind and helpful :o) Yvonne was so generous in allowing us a late check out which allowed us... More

When I booked a King-lakefront; I guess I was expecting a little more. The room was small. Not particularly a killer but again the expectations were much higher. And "lakefront" was really "lake-partial-view-at-a-slant". Kind of annoying on top of that is when you sit on the small balcony; the railing is right at eye height. So you either stand on... More

I stayed at the Beach Retreat as part of a family vacation in the Reno/Tahoe area. The hotel was in a great location right on Lake Tahoe with its own beach. The staff was helpful, pleasant, and exceeded what would be expected from a 2.5 star property. We stayed in a family suite, which provided room to spread out and... More

We bought a Bloomspot voucher for an upgraded King Lakeview room - but ran into some bumps because the voucher was not specific in saying that these rooms are not pet friendly (we were going to bring dogs). The hotel made an exception for us, which was nice, but the way the woman on the phone sounded, it was like... More

Atlanta14, Please accept our apologies for your less than fantastic stay. We do love having pets at the Beach Retreat, but we reserve specific garden view rooms for our four-legged friends. Thank you for pointing out the confusion -- we will make sure all of our staff members are up-to-date on all programs and policies. We are in the middle... More

We enjoyed two nights at this hotel. The beds are comfortable and the linens seemed new. We suggest the beach rooms. The view of the lake is fantastic. The staff was extra nice and accommodating. Vickie

Arriving in May from England after the ski season the hotel was still busy. We paid a little extra to get a room over looking the lake and it was well worth it....The room was clean with a gas fire and A/C if needed....view from balcony was wonderful showing the lake and the mountains. Room was 20 seconds from the... More

We booked through Expedia - it was a GREAT DEAL and we were looking forward to what the trip had to offer. We were hoping to enjoy the beach! Unfortunately, the weather was poor (rainy and cold) and we did not get to take advantage of what the hotel had to offer. PROS: - Central location to South Lake Tahoe... More
