This was our first trip to South Tahoe and didn't know what to expect and arrived when it was dark. The owner greeted us with a southern hospitality and enthusiasm to ensure his guests are safe, happy and comfortable. The office was decorated with hand painted, whimsical pictures to greet you with what the experience of staying here was to... More

Very, very clean! so nicely decorated, I did not want to even sit on the bed because it was so beautiful!! We had an amazing stay. New... More

I originally booked the visit as a first place prize for one of my associates. I was unable to get a word in upon his return to ask him any questions on how the trip went - he wouldn't stop talking! Needless to say, we are impressed with the level of customer service that was provided by the owners! That... More

I won a trip through my work and they put us in the Alder Inn. We were greeted by the owners when we arrived. They were genuine people that got to know us and helped us figure out what to do on our trip. They handed us a map and explained where all the main attractions were at. The room... More

Ignore the Alder Inn's tired-looking 70s sign, this a top-notch, quirkily chic, boutique inn of the highest order. Layni, the charming Texan owner and her unique, arty touch pervade every room. From the colourful explosion of pillows, to the luxurious array of soaps and unguents to the hand-painted mantras on the walls, staying at the Alder Inn was far above... More

I went on the advice of the other reviews and was not disappointed. The owners have done a great job fixing up a 50 year or so motel. Every room has a different decor - very whimsical. And, it is a short walk to the lake. Since there is no breakfast room, the breakfast was the only small problem. The... More

Hands down best Tahoe experience at a hotel or I should clarify, motel. Thats Tahoe you gotta love the vibe you get from the town that hugs that beautiful lake. The lo-cal of the hotel was perfect. quiet off the main highway but one of the closest to the lake less than a 5 minute walk to the sand with... More

Pros: Location near lake, clean rooms, quiet location, homelike furnishings, location to mountain, hot-tub, location by best restaurants. beds and sheets soft, location walked everywhere, wine glasses in room. Cons: vacation to short, location 2000 miles away... More

A great motel to stay at while visiting the mountains in Lake Tahoe. Well maintained and good upgrades with friendly staff. Rooms are clean, new, and well equipped. Amenities include hot tub and breakfast. We would stay again and do recommend.

Stayed here for a week. Chad gave us an overview of the entire area including North Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, discount lift tickets and local hikes. Also provided us insight on "what not to do". Within walking distance of many restaurants whether you want to go low key or upscale dining. Hot tub came in handy after a long day... More
