The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. They give the impression that they do everything for their guests. They even stopped a family who damaged our rental car with their electric scooter from escaping, saving us a lot of trouble👍🏻. Thank you so much for being such Great Hosts!

Excellent location and really helpful staff - we had a rough morning with car trouble (burst tire). When the fridge in our room wasn’t working on arrival, we were upgraded to a wonderful suite. It was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The repairman helped us with our car and we had a comfortable stay. The desk staff were so helpful letting us use their landline phone to sort out a replacement car because we didn’t have American numbers. We Liked having a microwave and fridge in the room and the spa was lovely!

The price for the Travel Inn was equal or very similar to other hotels. However, if you read reviews with pictures, you'll see that those properties are very dirty and in need of serious renovation or remodel. The Travel Inn was clean and recently remodeled. I did not have any concerns while staying at the Travel Inn.

    I recently stayed at big pine mountain motel and had an excellent experience. The location is superb—it's close to the center, within walking distance to restaurants, and just a 5-minute drive to the beach. The room was good, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful upon our arrival. They made sure we had a room that accommodated our family's needs. I appreciate their service and highly recommend this motel for anyone looking for a budget-friendly option to enjoy Tahoe with their family.

    We were looking for one night stay before a backpacking trip and this seemed like a decent motel for the price (probably the least expensive option we had) The room cleanliness and setup exceeded expectations and it was well worth the money as well as centrally located.

    The location is fabulous, near the main street, you can do a lot just by walking around. There's also free parking on the lot. The room was very spacious and cozy, with a full kitchen available. I was able to do the whole check-in with the lodge remotely, so never really had to talk to the staff face to face.
