I've been lucky enough to stay at The Lodge at Edgewood Tahoe three times over the last four years…read more The resort is excellent; just shy of phenomenal. The champagne at check-in is a nice touch. If there's a line, sit by the fire in the lobby or the one outside while you wait. Rooms are good sized, especially the mini suites. Small things keep this from getting five stars: * No true desk area with plugs if you have to work * Lights in bathroom are dim making it harder to shave * Bed is very comfortable but pillows are mid Spa is very nice. I appreciate the steam room and the shared quiet room with snacks. The heated outdoor jacuzzi is epic -- I may have stayed in it for 30 mins. Massages are resort priced but excellent. Food is high quality and good variety. (Will review separately) Lots of onsite activities, especially during summer. Almost all of the staff are over the top friendly. Despite asking every time, I've never been able to get a late checkout. I guess they are always busy.

Having planned a trip to surprise my dad for Father's Day, I splurged and got a hotel room at the…read moreLodge at Edgewood in South Lake Tahoe. I had never stayed at the lodge before, but several of my friends have and could not recommend it enough. We had a ground floor two-queen bed room. Everything about this hotel speaks luxury. The room was spacious and had all of the comforts you could ever want: soft, plush beds, a large bathroom with ample vanity space, large walk-in shower, and massive bathtub. The grounds of the hotel are absolutely breathtaking and we enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the beach watching the sunset over Lake Tahoe. I love that they offer fun activities such as board games and s'mores around the fire. They offer morning, yoga classes by the lake as well as lawn games like cornhole. The pool looked wonderful, although we did not partake. This is definitely a spot you would want to come if you were celebrating a wedding or an anniversary. And I intend to bring my husband here for our wedding anniversary in October!

Just book it, especially if you have fur babies!…read more My husband and I live in Reno and wanted to book an anniversary trip to Tahoe that we could take our senior Weimaraners. We also have a friend who is a photographer and we haven't had professional photos taken since our wedding 18 years ago so we thought The Landing would be the perfect place since they host weddings here and it's right next to the beach. There are so many excellent parts to mention but I will start with the staff. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. Our 15 year old had just passed and so our 12 year old was a little lost and loved all of the attention. She was treated just like one of the family. They even allow dogs on the free shuttle which is so perfect so we were able to go into the village and have lunch with her. It's a downhill walk back and so pretty, so we enjoyed the fresh air back. They upgraded our room and the views of the lake were perfect. It was so easy taking Juno out for potty breaks. It was extremely quiet and clean. The heated floors and toilets are a nice touch. We had dinner one night in the restaurant and it is the best meal I've had in Tahoe. The Venison is unbelievably tender and flavorful. My husband loved his homemade pasta with huge prawns. Our server, Kevin, went above and beyond to make the night special. They even let us take a few pictures in the bar area which I think turned out really cool with all of the bottles and colors in the background. Of course we all come for Tahoe! This place is right on a perfect spot. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, some trees and grassy areas also made for perfect pictures. We were there right at the start of Memorial Day weekend so it was extremely quiet and peaceful. I'm sure it will get busy in the height of summer but even then being able to walk across the street from your room makes it so convenient. We want to thank everyone at The Landing for a perfect trip! We can't wait to do it again!

Everything was amazing and more than we expected! Staff was friendly and helpful! We got to check…read morein early and that was such a great start to one of our best luxury hotel stays! All the included amenities make The Landing stand out! One of our drivers, Benjamin had great energy and suggestions! Loved the free shuttle drives to everything nearby within a 2mi radius. Amazing location. Everything is within a walking distance. We had a partial lake view room with a balcony and fireplace. Our room was spacious and beds were super comfy! There's a mini fridge and Lavazza espresso machine and coffee pods. Heated bathroom floors, heated toilet seats, great shower pressure, and a bathtub with jets. Loved the touch with bath robes and slippers! They also have a rooftop bar with a direct view of the lake. One of the nights, there was a wedding and it was closed to hotel guests. The next day around 5:30pm there was live music- the duo was singing covers and taking requests. They were amazing! There was also complimentary charcuterie. Definitely a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Here are some other noteworthy amenities during our stay: Complimentary champagne from 3pm-10pm. Smores kits 6pm-10pm. Coffee, hot cocoa, tea, fresh apples in the lobby- and the best water from Tahoe. Free daily admission to the private Lakeside Beach. Heated pool and Jacuzzi. Fire pits. Even after we checked out, beach admission, parking and shuttle drives are still included for the whole day. Onsite restaurant, formerly known as Jimmy's which we didn't try. We stayed for a couple nights and wished we could stay longer. It was a stay that made us not want to leave the room and hotel! It was a perfect getaway and we can't wait to return for many more firsts together.

I have stayed here several times and would return again. I made some observations about the…read moreproperty and I will share them. It is not like a traditional hotel. No room service, no daily maid service. Limited flexibility if for some reason there is a need to change rooms. I was informed that it was due in part to folks reserving the time share rooms. Valet parking can be slow if it is a busy time period. Pretty on par with many properties. People do smoke outside in the courtyard/by the gondolas and if your room is above you will get a bit smoked out. I noted that the property is right on highway 50 so there is quite a bit of through traffic; bicycle, vehicle and pedestrian. The rooms were clean and if one gets the full suite (kitchen, living and dining area) very spacious. Close to shops and restaurants all within walking distance. Overall, a nice place to stay. Just be aware that it is not (by design) a traditional hotel as I mentioned.

The biggest positive about Marriott's Timber Lodge is the location. It's close to everything,…read moreincluding Heavenly Village, restaurants, shops, and the gondola, which makes it incredibly convenient and walkable. We typically stay at Edgewood when visiting South Lake Tahoe, but decided to try something different this time. Unfortunately, the stay got off to a rough start. We arrived around noon on Friday and were told our room was ready, even though official check-in is at 4 PM. When we went up, housekeeping was still cleaning and informed us it would be another 30 minutes. Later, the manager called to apologize and explained that we had been given the wrong room number. He asked for permission to have staff move our belongings to the correct room. While the apology was appreciated, it wasn't a great first impression and set the tone for the rest of the stay. There is no room service, despite having an onsite restaurant (Fire + Ice), which was disappointing after a long travel day. I also asked the front desk if they had honey so I could make green tea in our room and was told they didn't. For a Marriott property, that felt surprising and oddly basic. Housekeeping is not provided daily. There was no one to make the bed or tidy up during our stay. While we were told we could call if we needed anything, it still felt like a noticeable downgrade in service for a hotel at this price point. We stayed from Friday to Sunday, and the only complimentary item offered was a single homemade cookie, handed out individually. On Saturday, hot chocolate was available, but it was $5 per cup. Charging for hot water, cocoa powder, and a few marshmallows felt nickel-and-dimey, especially at a resort-style hotel. The biggest frustration, however, was the constant timeshare solicitation. Immediately after checking in, we were approached at the concierge desk and pitched a "promotion." We declined. Later that same day, we were approached again and declined once more. Then on Saturday evening at 7 PM, my personal cell phone rang with caller ID showing Marriott. It was the same person calling yet again to pitch the timeshare. While a gift card was offered, not everyone is interested in $200. Our vacation time is more valuable than sitting through a 90-minute sales presentation. After declining multiple times, the continued follow-up felt unprofessional. A clear "no" should be noted and respected. The room itself was nice. We stayed in a one-bedroom villa with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, living area, and a separate bedroom and bathroom. The layout was functional for families, with two TVs and a sofa bed in the living room. However, the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable and made sleeping difficult, especially after long days out. There was a simple welcome note in the room, but no other welcome amenity. We weren't expecting much, just a small thoughtful touch. The property does offer an outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi, open from 8 AM to 10 PM, which is a nice amenity for families and for unwinding after a day out. Checkout is at 10 AM, which feels early. Many comparable hotels offer at least an 11 AM checkout. In our case, by Sunday morning we were so eager to leave due to the overall experience that we checked out at 8:00 AM. We genuinely couldn't wait to go. Overall, while the location and room layout are strong, the lack of basic hospitality, repeated sales pressure, limited housekeeping, and early missteps made this stay feel more transactional than relaxing. For the price and the Marriott name, I expected a far more polished experience. We would not choose to stay here again.

My husband and I have stayed at Bally's Lake Tahoe many times, and the main reason we keep coming…read moreback is because of the incredible people who work there, especially Patrick Teagues. Patrick is, without question, the best Casino Host and Player Development Manager we have ever worked with. He consistently goes above and beyond to make us feel valued, appreciated, and genuinely welcomed. Every interaction with him is professional, warm, and personal. Whenever we email to request a reservation, Patrick responds immediately and always asks if there is anything else he can do to make our trip special. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to guest service are truly exceptional. He has a remarkable ability to make every guest feel like a VIP. Bally's Lake Tahoe is our favorite casino destination, and Patrick is a huge reason why. He is the kind of employee who creates loyal customers and lasting relationships. Quite honestly, we would follow Patrick anywhere because of the outstanding level of service he provides. Bally's, please know what a treasure you have in Patrick. He represents the very best of hospitality, and my husband and I are incredibly grateful for everything he does to make our visits so memorable. Thank you, Patrick, for always making us feel so special!

An aging hotel that has been left to slowly fall apart…read more It's actually very sad to witness. In this massive property with over 400 rooms, you'll find outdated spaces, worn furniture, dark and dingy hallways, dirty windows, hard old towels, thin bedding, lumpy pillows, and beds on the firm side. Even the plants outside have stopped being watered and left to die. Ice machines are broken on multiple floors, so you end up wandering around to other floors in the hopes of one working. The indoor pool has a bit of a Hefner grotto vibe but is constantly packed with screaming kids. It's as if someone told management just to keep the lights on because nothing else matters. Prices swing wildly: sometimes just over $100, but on busy weekends they shoot past $600. Then they tack on a $27 nightly resort fee and another $20 for self parking. Truly delusional fees for what you get. I've stayed here several times only because the rooms are comped. I would never pay to sleep here. There are plenty of wonderful hotels, and even motels, in the area that don't charge bogus resort & parking fees. The online room photos are heavily filtered and don't match reality once you check in. A few positives: the rooms are spacious at over 400 sq ft, and some have minor upgrades like newer bathrooms. There's a Starbucks near the gaming floor, a spa and a few restaurants. I haven't tried them so no opinions there. Overall, this place desperately needs a facelift and real upgrades. Until then, the resort and parking fees should be eliminated. Bally's owners should know better.

I will probably look elsewhere next time though considering this place was pretty expensive.

There is plenty of parking around the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom sides. Place has beach front access which is nice. Has a fire pit, hot tub, pool, bbq pit and some chairs to relax on. Customer service was attentive to our request. Place uses a physical key to enter rooms/lock rooms, not key cards. The Spa is located on 2nd floor on the far left side. To make an appointment for the spa you have to do it at front desk. They also have a Dry sauna on 2nd floor. This is opened with your room key and they have a latch to alert people if it's occupied. We stayed at the 2 bedroom on the 2nd floor. The stairs to the 2nd floor are steep and use a spiral staircase. We had a balcony which gave us good views of the beach and sunset/sunrise. There is a full kitchen with a fridge. There is no centralized AC but they have heaters. There are also fan for the upstairs room. Prob would go here again depends on party size and activities we have planned.

The location is…read morehard to beat, you're right on the California/Nevada border, so a few steps puts you in Nevada. Harrah's is across the street and Caesars Republic is catty-corner, making it easy to walk around and enjoy the area. The resort is in a great central location. We walked to restaurants, shops, and even down toward the lake. If you walk straight down, you'll reach the private beach, just keep in mind there's about a $30 entrance fee. The breakfast buffet is a flat $25 per person. It wasn't really worth it for us since we're not big breakfast people. Instead, we grabbed coffee and breakfast sandwiches/burritos from Joe's Merchant in the lobby for around $10-$15. Valet is $40 a day, but parking can be tough to find, so it was worth it for us. Overall, great location, easy to get around on foot, and a place we'd stay at again.

I was given no evidence, no proof, and no opportunity to properly dispute the claim. I was absolutely not responsible for the damage, yet I was treated as if I was guilty by default.

A reputable hotel should investigate properly and communicate transparently with its guests before imposing such a significant charge. I will never stay at this property again and will make sure to share my experience with friends, family, and fellow travelers so they can make an informed decision before booking. Extremely disappointing experience and a complete lack of customer service. Please avoid it for your own sanity.

The townhomes are beautiful and have 3 levels. I see they've made some improvements- probably based on families. The stairs are steep, so with two kids running around, it can be nerve wrecking. I saw they added nice child gates to the top of their sets of stairs. In the townhomes, you have 3 levels and 2 patios: one patio on the second floor (living area with a half bath) with an egg chair and table setting. The third level is the bed space and that patio has the soaking tub and a little seating area. Their main bathroom is huge- beautiful modern shower with a huge soaking tub for two. The soaking tub takes some agility getting in and out, but is nice and deep and has jets. It takes a while to fill up, but once it does, it's really relaxing. We love how both walls next to the sliding glass doors on both levels have a see thru fireplace. Such a cute, romantic detail that's nice to have running while you're relaxing. The heated floors in the bathroom are an added perk. Oh! And you get your own garage- even though you still have to access the home from outside the garage. They are incredible accommodating. They have a list of things offered on request like kids toys, hygiene kits, ironing board, etc. They get added points for having those really expensive amazing Dyson hair dryers as their hair drying option too It's one of our favorite places to stay!

Sorry to nearby guest if we were too loud. We were all just so happy to be together. We enjoyed time at the nearby lake watching the sun go down, swimming in the pool, playing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows (which was generously provided by the hotel), and playing board games. Food was also easy to order and delicious. So convenient to be able to grab complimentary coffee with our breakfast, which was yummy. Yogurt bowl, with the berry compote was my fav. Overall my family really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again. Thank you Coachman staff!! Also thank you to Liz who coordinates group reservations! She is extremely helpful and kind. Would not have found this gem if not for her.

Coachman is divided into two sections with a street separating buildings 5-8 from the lobby and…read moreremaining buildings. The area around the lobby is beautiful, appearing newly renovated with working fire pits, a deck and pool area, bar and lobby area. If you are in a room on that side, there are plenty of amenities for you to enjoy. We were in building 7, a room across the street from the luxury of those conveniently located amenities. In absence of the amenities, it did offer quiet as there was not a lot of foot traffic or people on our side. There was a fire pit directly beneath our 2nd floor room; however, it did not work since it needs gas (per the staff). None of the fire pits on our side worked, we were later told they were for the community center by reservation. Check in was easy, the staff who assisted were pleasant and thorough. When we arrived to our room, the in person version did not look as upscale as the photos I based our booking on. The fact that there is a shared microwave should have been the biggest clue. There is no coffee maker, rather a kettle for hot water and packets of something to use. Checkout was simple as well. Amenities: The fridge was pretty spacious for being small and there were plenty of shelving for snacks. The hanging space had five hangers, which were located directly above the kettle. The toilet seat had 3 temps to warm your bottom and the water in the shower (and sink) got really hot so be careful. The mini balcony was nice to exist on and fairly quiet even with cars and people passing. The staff were friendly and have been accommodating with requests for room service. Heavenly Ski Resort was a 5-10 minute walk from this location along with a plethora of eateries and shops including Target, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Ace and other shops. All within walking distance inside the same shopping center. We will not return to Coachman Hotel for future stays. There are plenty of surrounding hotels near by. Our daughter did enjoy the balcony, the room was clean and well maintained. For us, we prefer accommodations with an actual coffee maker (as advertised), a microwave in the room and a more luxurious feel to our stay. The s'more hour was fun for our lil one to experience. Staff were exceptional so I would not discourage anyone to consider Coachman.
