"It's sad to know another resort is selling out. LOVE this resort. Higher rates next year and soon it will be sold again. Soon South Lake Tahoe infact all of the lake will be only affordable to the rich clients. The resort and marina and dock next door sold for 64 million and reno at 27million"

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here as a family for four nights. The location is fantastic, the facilities are excellent, and the staff was friendly and helpful. ​The breakfast was okay—the fresh fruit bar was a standout, though the hot options were fairly average. Our room was very clean, though it had a few minor maintenance issues with the bathroom door and the wooden curtain cornice/valance. ​Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I would definitely recommend it to other families!"

Hotel Becket, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent
"They had a great hot breakfast with eggs, potatoes, bacon, and more. Hot coffee was available throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The staff was friendly, and the room was clean. The only thing that was a bit odd was the bathroom door. It’s a sliding-style door that doesn’t close completely, leaving fairly large gaps between the door and the walls. So, there isn’t much privacy when using the bathroom if someone else is in the room. Other than that, everything was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay!"
