This motel is on Rt 50 not far from 89, more convenient than downtown South Lake/Stateline for the Kirkwood crowd. It takes about 45 minutes to drive from here to Kirkwood, depending on the weather and traffic. We made it in less than 40 with clear roads and little traffic at 8am on a Saturday. Also, there is shopping (Raley's,... More

I discovered this cozy gem of an inn while dining at my favorite pizza restaurant across the street. Ideal, quiet location if you want a bit of distance from the buzz of casinos and ski resort action (just 10 minute drive away), but still have excellent restaurants and shopping plaza (raley's, starbucks) within walking distance. I stayed in a super... More

I stayed at the Apex Inn for a few days for the Fall colors in South Lake Tahoe. You can't bet the location.. well placed to get up early for dawn over Emerald Bay, or a short drive down to Hope Valley for the Fall colors at their best. It is extremely inexpensive for what you get.. I had a... More

This is our second time staying here. Totally love our room. Same room as last time. A love the location and everything about this room. . We love the upstairs rooms because you get a mini fridge, microwave and coffee put in your room. We will be back again next month.

A nice clean room - I had a king size bed which was very comfortable. Everyone associated with the motel was friendly and very helpful. The price was very reasonable and I thought it was quite a bargain - half what I would have paid at other places I looked at. When I arrived my room was warm - it... More

We needed a cheap room for a quick overnight stay in South Lake Tahoe. Apex was listed on booking.com and was $20 less than the neighboring Motel 6 so I booked a room. We found the room to be clean. There was fresh paint on the walls of our room and a recently renovated bathroom. The bed, however, was horrible.... More

I wanted to go away for Memorial Day weekend and I knew everyplace was expensive. What a surprise when I found this place right on Hwy 50. It's not fancy but it's nice for the price. There is a great Italian restaurant next door.

Beware of the Continental Breakfast- one of those packaged pastries you buy in a huge box at Costco. The hotel is really an old motor court with tiny rooms. The price was too high for such a tiny place and such weak breakfast.
