Nice quiet place, close to grocery store and gas station, good for getting on the highway to Kirkwood without having to deal with South lake Tahoe proper. The price is right.

South Lake Tahoe

Good little motel. It has a vintage feel to the outside and rooms look mostly empty from the parking as there’s only two vehicles parked normally. There’s no frills but it gets the job done and wifi is decent. You definitely get the most bang for your buck with the price. I would for sure stay here again.
