Excellent in town location. Fun vibe and very friendly staff. Property is looking a bit 'tired' and worn out, but location was key for us. On-property coffee bar and out door bar grille was very nice.
No elevators (which we did already know), however we were given second floor room and after lugging our luggage up stairs (we are in mid-60s), only to find room was NOT in service. Was given new 2nd floor room in different wing, so had to lug back down and then up again. That room too was not in very good shape (large spot on carpet, fixture hanging off ceiling, noisy portable air conditioner), however, hotel did send staff immediately to remedy, and stay was much more enjoyable!!

Basecamp South Tahoe is a nice place where we spent two days. The necessary equipment was available on site. We were welcomed without any problems. Early check-out was also possible. It was clean and spacious, the room had a large balcony. There is a bar with a garden on the hotel grounds. It is a very atmospheric place, I recommend it to everyone. On the day of our arrival there was live music. There were plenty of parking spaces.
The hotel is renovated, but there is a specific smell. After a while I got used to it. Little light reached the shower. But these are really small drawbacks.

I loved it here, the location of it is very convinient. It was walking distance to the lake. You're given 2 free vouchers a day to go to a private "beach". Water was crystal clear. After a nice cold dunk in the lake, the jucuzzi back at the hotel was the cherry on top. They also sell smore's kits which you can make in one of their many firepit locations. Very cozy! I just so happen to leave my ipad behind in the room and Letty, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure it was sent back to my house. Thank you Letty! Overall I would definitely come here again!

Very convenient location, cute and cozy lobby with a fantastic view of Heavenly, short walk to the main strip and village with shopping, restaurants, or bite to eat and wine and beer right there! Comfy beds, brewery with live music & food to enjoy around the campfire!!! Plus, two hot tubs to enjoy. Truly a great place to be by it all, meet some new people, and jump off the explore beautiful Lake Tahoe!
Not the newest and one of the plug ins didn’t quite work for the hot water kettle for pour over coffee.

Coffee was tasty at the coffee chop. That cinnamon roll was the perfect treat with our lattes. Staff was friendly and everything was served quickly! The room was very clean with plenty of space. A hot shower after a day on the mountain was much appreciated.
If I had to give feedback about our stay would be regarding the breakfast snacks - Breakfast Taco and Breakfast Sandwich. They could have been prepared or served a little differently. Both were a smidge soggy, as they are wrapped when being served. I'm not sure if they are held in a steamer to stay warm, but I would recommend maybe pressing them on a grill before serving or bringing them up to temp in a toaster oven/Salamander Broiler to crispy up the bun or tortilla. Also working in the service industry, I can understand the challenge, so no complaint here. The flavor of both items were delicious! Would order again.

Very spacious. Love that it comes with a water boiler and a fridge. It's a plus to have a TV in the room. I like the open closet so i can hang dry or air out my snowboard gears. The bathroom was very roomy. I'm a pretty Husky guy. So me fitting in the shower without bumping the glass door open made my experience very great. Overall, great stay!
The main light of the room was dimmer than what i would like. It's a great light to calm you down during the nighttime and help unwind. Although, during the day, it doesn't shine bright enough to see things in high visibility. I have to turn on all the nightstand lights to see things in the room.

Such a great location! Staff really helpful and friendly. Room was perfect for our needs, it felt like they had thought of everything. Being able to buy s'mores for the fire was a really nice touch :) Really good value and would definitely stay here again!
The walls were a bit thin - I woke up in the night because I could hear the man in the room next to us snoring. Also the coffee in the room was gross, but the coffee you could buy in the restaurant was delicious and more than made up for it :)

It wad very quiet after 10pm. We were able rest well without any interruption.
The room from door did not have a peephole. We ordered something to eat and at the time the delivery person knock at the door I was afraid to open door due that room 210 is placed in a little hallway and the only door next to that room is a storage room. I tried to adjust the shower head but was not possible. Shower head was installed super high and is set unable to adjust the direction were I wanted the water due fall.

We had a king room - it was huge! Cute outdoor and Lake Tahoe themed decor and linens. Felt higher end at budget prices (we stayed in May so perhaps shoulder season pricing). They give you the room cards with a little booklet with all kinds of helpful information about the hotel complex and the Lake Tahoe area (best hikes, etc.). Fancy pour over coffee sachets provided. So much thought seems to have gone into making everything a cohesive Lake Tahoe themed experience.
If you are looking for quiet, this is not the place for you....there's a beer garden with live music in the central courtyard though it wraps up at a reasonable hour. We also had some loud neighbours out on their balcony until after midnight. Mini fridge in room did not have a freezer but you could request ice from the front desk.

Location was great. The attached brewery was awesome. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The coffee shop on premises was a big plus and the fire pits were good.
You can hear all your neighbors. And I mean hear them. No elevator so be ready for stairs. Hallway lights shining through the bathroom windows and while walking by one bathroom window that was open you can see into the bathroom and there was someone getting out of the shower.
