    I booked here on mostly credit card points. For two nights I think I only paid taxes and resort…read morefees which was around 113.00. I'm not a big fan of resort fees. Here there was an indoor pool/hot tub and small exercise room. Those are normal things to me, not resort things. I did like the hot tub and pool stayed open late for adult only time 10-midnight. I don't love that the only parking option is valet at 40 a day. I do love that they decorate in all teal becuase I find that color very tranquil and it's my favorite color. :) We had a king suite and it was modern and roomy and no complaints there whatsoever! Loved the true blackout curtains of course. We ate at the one place on site that was open til 11. It was mediocre. We did the breakfast buffet one morning. It was ok as well. Nothing stood out food wise on site. I'd say decor and hotel only (not considering food) was 4/4, although I'm not sure how much my room would have been without points, so not taking that into account.

    I stayed at Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe for the first time using the Amex platinum Travel…read moreperks, which include early check in, late check out, room upgrade, and $100 dining credit. When I arrived, the front desk staff were great. The manager and Alexis were very friendly and provided me with everything I would need. I thought the room was nice. All the rooms are suites, with a separate living room, dining area, sofa bed, and then the bedroom. Bathroom is shower only but clean and functional. The gym is small but got the job done. The pools were not clean and had an overwhelming chlorine odor. I guess maybe that helps kill all the bacteria. But why the two stars you may ask. It's because they have a terrible valet company working here. This is a valet parking only resort for $40 a night. I thought it was unnerving when I first arrived and saw how the young valet drivers were treating the customers cars. They acted like it was NASCAR racing. (If you do not believe me, stand by the entrance of the parking lot which is left of the front entrance and watch how they drive the vehicles) But I dismissed my worrying thoughts and left the car with AAA Parking valet. I didn't take the car out for the two nights I stayed there. Upon check out and summoning my car from valet, the fender and front bumper were damaged. They know what they did because I saw the guilt on their faces. Filled out a claim. I asked to see the footage on arrival and they said that it was security's "day off". Huh?! Security completely takes days off at a giant resort hotel?! That was a cop out. AAA Parking Management that Margaritaville employs to valet their customers cars need to be investigated. I will file a complaint with the better business bureau and a civil suit against Margaritaville if action isn't taken in a timely manner. Needless to say I would never stay here again due to the valet only parking. With young men who do not respect people's property.

    I've been here before many years ago and before I started writing reviews. I was invited to stay…read morewith some friends. The reservation was for two rooms, so it was like we had our own apartment. It was spacious. We liked that it had a full kitchen equipped with anything we might need. It did not come with some things, but a 5 minute walk to the target settled it. The hotel has lots of activities. We participated in some of the hikes, fitness classes, and bingo night. The staff are all very nice and knowledgeable. It's also so close to everything that we pretty much walked wherever we needed to go, unless it was further than a mile. Overall, I'd totally stay here again.

    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.

If you enjoy having one person at the front desk with 20 people in line, this place is for you. If you like having a ski locker (which they give you a lock for)which actually has no lock on it at all ,then this place is for you. If you like getting on a shuttle bus that has no ski racks and you practically kill yourself getting on the bus with your skis and poles, then this place is for you. Sadly, we joined when it was the Ridge Tahoe by interval International and since Holiday Inn took it over, it is like being in a Third World hotel. The only and I mean, the only plus is the location. Other than that, they rank below average. Everything is so old and tired. Even though they said they refurnished it looks like they bought it from a secondhand store. What a shame. No one really seems to care so you never get an answer back. You can't get through to the front desk and it's just a.

While it operates as…read morea vacation club, it's owned by IHG and rooms can often be rented just like a traditional hotel, which makes it surprisingly accessible. The property has plenty to keep guests entertained -- daily activities, pools, saunas, bars, a small market, and an on-site restaurant -- so you rarely feel the need to leave unless you're heading out to ski or explore. I've stayed here three times, in both the Tower and Nagle buildings, and the views alone make every visit worthwhile. The location is absolutely five-star, especially for winter trips focused on skiing. Many of the units are more like condos than hotel rooms, with full kitchens, living areas, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and thoughtful extras like jetted tubs, gas fireplaces, laundry rooms, and balconies. Ski lockers conveniently located in the halls are another nice touch. Decor varies depending on the building and unit -- some feel more updated than others -- but all have character and have consistently been well stocked with useful amenities like humidifiers, fans, and reliable coffee makers. Parking is easy and plentiful, with both underground and outdoor options across the property. My favorite feature, hands down, is the Skier Express -- a mechanical bubble shuttle that connects the resort directly to the Stagecoach lift. When it's running, it's an amazing perk, though it seems to be operational only about half the time, which can be frustrating. There's also a traditional shuttle that loops to the base lodges. It can take a bit longer due to the one-way main road, but it's still a solid option for getting around. On my most recent visit, the management team really stood out. Communication before arrival was excellent, and I was celebrating a milestone birthday -- they made the stay feel extra special with genuine kindness and attention. I'm honestly not sure where some of the lower reviews come from, but if they help keep this place under the radar, I guess that's the silver lining. For me, Tahoe Ridge has become my go-to stay in the area and the only place I consistently choose when visiting.

Valet fee of $27 was REQUIRED even though the website says optional. If you don't want to pay it then you have to park off the property. The valet staff was great and kind and always had the car within 15 minutes (you just text to request) The rooms were nice overall. If you have A and B you have a shared entry ( with key card access then the rooms split off again with key card access. With kids it was constant back and forth being able to prop open the doors would be nice. Rooms had nicely stocked kitchens with tons of pots pans and things you don't normally get at a hotels (dishwasher and toasters). I never heard anyone else in the hall above us it was very soundproof when the windows were closed. Still not sure about all the amenities since no one explained them at all. Saw the gym and an activity area (closed). Teena enjoyed the pool and spa and warm towels. Staff was nice but our diverse family encounter many people who gave us wires looks including a lady in the elevator who almost passed out when our family joined her on the elevator to go up to our room.

I checked in with Courtney , who was just the best front desk hostess I've EVER come across. When I went back to get my car after check in and watching the amazing sunset, she saw me and asked if I'd like her help bringing my stuff in. I have NEVER felt so taken care of! Your car is left with valet and the valet (Corey) brought all my things up to the room for me. Um wow! Then my door wouldn't open with the room key and Irma, a spectacularly on it supervisor, just happen to be walking by, let me into my room and went to have my keys fixed. I mean, I felt as though I was somehow apart of this amazing family. What remarkable staff!! So I was a little concerned when I got a 2nd floor room as I am a very light sleeper. Not only did I not hear any of my neighbors above or below me but I never heard doors closing which is very common in hotels. Not the case here. It was the best rest without ear plugs I've had in several months of travel. The body gel, shampoo and conditioner is the best one out of all the hotels I've stayed. There is only 1 other Hilton that uses this same brand and I was so pleased when I saw they use this one here. The water is immediately hot with good pressure and the towels were really soft and just clean not like they'd been bleached and smelled of it. Nate, at the concierge desk, was fantastic at guiding me on places around Lake Tahoe to go check out. His map of spots was invaluable and exactly as he guided me on how to get there and best times to visit. See my Emerald Lake shot. If you're planning to come stay in Lake Tahoe for skiing or summer activities or just to relax, this is the perfect place to stay. It's within walking/free bus riding distance of so many different things and they will make you feel like family. Just bring your toothbrush and if you forgot that, they've got that covered for you here too! Use the Hilton app to book your visit. It's worth the ease and you might save a few bucks.

I stayed in a smaller room this time which was the Mountain Hideaway located all the way in the back corner. Since this unit doesn't have a full kitchenette the breakfast and free snacks at the office was included in my stay. But this room did have all you needed from a sink, to a fridge, and a electrified stove which I used to make breakfast one morning. The fridge gets really cold so just watch out your stuff on the top rack may freeze a bit. The room came with a nice tub which I used every night to relax my body. The heater they have in this room works really well and kept me and my doggies warm throughout the day and night. They come and clean your room everyday so this is a major reason why they request for your dogs to be well behaved. I'm coming back here again I hope in the summer. Its located 1 mile from Homewood resort so if you ski or snowboard it's really convenient, especially if your kids are fur babies. Thanks again for another amazing stay, and I'm glad I got to try the breakfast they made it was really good.
