Top Tahoe City Hotel Reviews

The Cottage Inn

8/10 Good

"The property is lovely, charming and well located, and staff helpful and friendly. Access to the private beach across the road is nice, and breakfast brought to the room everyday is very convenient. The room itself and amenities were somewhat lacking. Only only nightstand and no outlets for charging cellphones, etc. made things difficult - in 2026 everyone needs places to charge devices. Our bathroom was tiny (could not fully sit on toilet with door closed). Ok for short travelers like us, but it would be difficult for others. Luckily we had hanging toiletry bags bc sink/vanity are tiny. Ours was a small room with no dresser, making it crowded with multiple suitcases. With only one suitcase it would be ok. We would definitely stay again, but would choose a different room - or pack less ;)."

Basecamp Tahoe City

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room, comfortable bed and close to restaurants."

Granlibakken Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Almost perfect...I was 90 degrees when we got there and only then that we found out the entire building doesn't have AC. Not because it wasn't working, but it was never equipped with one. Having to carry all of our stuff using the stairs since there were no elevators was fine too. That AC is a must!"

Tahoe Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay over Labor Day weekend. The view is amazing from the deck and almost every room in the house. We really enjoyed the outside space and the outdoor furniture was great. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need as far as non-food items. Thank you for a great stay!!!"

4BD/3BA Northshore Condo Lakeview 2 Master Suites Sleeps up to 8 Great Value

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very clean home in a very nice area. The private beach access is close by and the beach / lake is absolutely beautiful. The place is a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The barbeque is clean and easy to use - we had some amazing meals. All in all this location is exceptional. Tahoe City has tons of shops too - that was a plus! Note: I told the owner about the front door - the keys barely work in either lock and it took a lot of jiggling keys around to make the door open. I hope they fix that, because it was frustrating."

Family Reunion Tahoe Rental

8/10 Good

"Communication with the host was excellent and prompt. This cabin has wonderful 5-star amenities and cleanliness. Parking was adequate for our family, and the location was close to activities we had planned - hiking, frisbee golf, beaches, playgrounds, and shopping. Bedrooms were comfortable and roomy, with plenty of bedding and towels. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, a large refrigerator, and a large gas cook stove. We enjoyed the living areas, kitchen, and spacious outside deck areas. All in all, we had a great time and this cabin met our needs well. We happened to visit during one of the warmest weeks of the summer, and the cabin was quite warm during late afternoon and early evening hours. We were very thankful for all the fans in every room, and the cabin cooled off well during the overnight hours."
