This hotel is a no-frills place to stay. I felt like I stepped into an old 1960's room that has not been updated since the lodge first opened. It is nothing more than a roof over your head, a working toilet, and an uncomfortable mattress to sleep on. If you can get over the "ambiance", that is great, but don't... more

We have stayed here before and had a better experience. Our room had a coke machine on the wall behind the bed and a transformer above and the buzzing vibration made it impossible to sleep. Stayed awake all night. Very irritating! The toilet ran after every flush, my husband tried to fix it but to no avail. I heard another... more

woke us up at 7am with a loud noise like an alarm that won't stop. Similar thing happened to the furnace last winter of '06 when we stayed there in the motel room in the back building. It was also early in the morning, some unknown metal parts inside the furnace was shaking violently. Also this time, the super small... more

Stayed here for Fri / Sat night during January ski trip. The room was $90/night for a 1 bedroom in the lodge, not a cabin. The fold out couch in the living area had a terrible mattress, but not much of a surprise there, the air mattress came in very handy. If you care about decor, you will be disappointed,... more

We didn't have huge expectations of this Tahoe motel, but just wanted somewhere cheap to stay in between ski days. We were not disappointed. Yes, the rooms are dated and a bit rustic, and the shower took forever to get warm, but the hottub was oh-so relaxing, our room was warm and cozy, and the location is great. We also... more

I booked a reservation through Orbitz. I arrived at the hotel at 8:30 PM. No one was at the office. I informed them that I was going to arrive late. They had a telephone at the front door for people who arrived late. It took 30 minutes to reach an answering service. I was instructed to open a lock box,... more

The front desk guy told me, after I complained that our sheets were covered with animal HAIR, that they only wash the blankets every other guest and that the last person to use the room may have snuck in a dog!!! and he found this okay that the blanket was not washed!!!!! The place was dirty, you could hear everything... more

I'm happy to report that this place appears to have done some remodeling since the last posted reviews. Our one-bedroom unit had new Pergo floors, new pine wall paneling, new microwave, shower, bed and bedding. What was left of the older fixtures and furniture were in good condition and the rooms were clean. The management was responsive and the place... more

I must say I am another one to fall for false advertisement on Cedar Glen lodge website. They must have used photos from years ago when it somewhat looked decent. I was highly disappointed the second I stepped in the cottage. It looked very plain, unkept, and highly uncomfortable. The kitchen was not in best order and the dishes were... more
