Top Carnelian Bay Hotel Reviews

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

8/10 Good

"The regular room is small, but I have stayed here several times and I knew that. The coffee maker did not work and the refrigerator door would not latch. BUT, the onsite restaurant, Touluus(sp) is absolutely great and the onsite pool and spa and cabanas were great and had the entire pool to ourselves on one afternoon! The staff in the restaurant and bar are terrific and the owner is easy to talk to, the chef cooked out steaks to perfection and the waitress was delightful. The restaurant alone is worth staying here."

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was very good and the service is excellent! However, the cleaning wasn't up to par; my room wasn't clean—especially the bathroom, which was very dirty! Thank you!"

Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful. I want to return. A perfect time of year to visit if you’re not a skier. The only ding I can give the property is the television didn’t work in the main living area. Sharing a movie didn’t work out for that reason. I did go to the front desk and was told they would send someone immediately to figure it out. No one came. If you have to ask twice…well, why? Having to watch from the bedroom is not the same sitting on a bed. Not good on the back. Other than that everything was amazing. Very relaxing and peaceful."

Bluelake Inn at Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"All good and great location, close to everything."

The Jeffrey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, comfortable, and very quiet room. The facilities are a little dated, but the thoughtful details were wonderful, including disposable plates, utensils, and kitchen paper towels. Great location and very peaceful surroundings. Excellent value for the price. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it!"
