Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious room with a furnished balcony overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. Wonderful restaurant (Elements) walking distance and we got a coupon for a discount there. Plenty of parking and great housekeeping staff."

HEAVENLY-Waterfront-Mtn Views-HotTub-Pool Table-Dock

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at this property with a large family group and overall had a good experience. The location is excellent, and the house is very well equipped for large gatherings. There were plenty of appliances, ample seating on the patio, garage and driveway parking, and lots of entertainment options including games and a pool table. The home is especially well suited for families with children, with many child-friendly items available. It is a great setup for large families, particularly during winter months when outdoor activities may be limited.Future guests should be aware: 1) Obtain and print the rental agreement before your arrival. The person named on the rental agreement must be present and able to provide identification in order to access the community facilities. We were not aware of this requirement before our stay and were therefore unable to use the pool and other amenities as our group had planned. 2) The listing states there is space for four boats. During our stay, only two spaces were available because the other two slips were occupied by boats that were being leased. Guests planning to bring multiple watercraft should verify availability in advance.Overall, the property worked well for our group and has many strengths. With clearer communication regarding amenity access and clarification of boat slip availability, it would be an excellent choice for large families visiting Lake Tahoe."
