positive:
Terrific location near Tahoe attractions
Located right in Tahoe, you can step out of the hotel and
stroll right Heavenly Village. Finding a bite to eat is easy to do when you’re
in the middle of everything. The hotel is also located near shops, the main
street and the shores making accessibility a breeze.
positive:
‘Bare bones’ but cheaper than other places
Compared to what hotels run for in the popular Tahoe area, visitors say this place offers one of the lowest prices for accommodations. Several guests noted that this inn was very basic and bare bones, but it’s bargain compared with what you can find nearby.
positive:
Spartan breakfast included in room rates
Guests noted that the Days Inn served a complimentary breakfast with basic snacks like cereal, oatmeal, toast and coffee and juice. While breakfast is pretty sparse, guests said it was better than nothing.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Sad state of disrepair at hotel
Reviews veered more on the negative side, as many guests complained about the poor state of the inn. Some of the furniture have fallen into a sad state with screens missing from windows, stained linens, chairs and a strong, stale, musty smell in the rooms.
negative:
Rude, obnoxious owner
Some guests said their issues about their rooms were not taken care of in a timely manner especially by the hotel’s owner whom many described as prone to screaming fits. They reported that he did not seem to care that things in the hotel were broken or dirty.
negative:
No AC or heating
The room can get hot and stuffy in the summers. It doesn’t’ help that the AC/heating system didn’t work for several guests. And it doesn’t help in the winter when the heating system malfunctioned and people ended up cold.
