This quiet, quaint little motel is a wonderful experience. I have stayed there now on three different occasions and I will be back. Rika and her husband Charles are the managers and do a wonderful job and the customer service is wonderful. The breakfast spread is a bounty of personal care and touches and wonderful. I recommend the Aviva Inn... More

An outsanding good Inn next to Lake Tahoe. A very friendly front desk! We enjoyed two days just two walking minutes from the lake. Very nice rooms and very good breakfast! Especially fridge in the room (not usual) Cleanliness was perfect. Rooms with a fair rate.

The Aviva Inn was just the place I was looking for our family of six...simple, well-priced and accommodating. We got two rooms, each with queen sized beds, that had an adjoining door which we kept unlocked and open. I dont know what the rooms looked like before the new paint and updates, but the new look was just the right... More

The hotel was fine, but the manager, Rika Dyer is excellent. She is very welcoming, prepares a lovely breakfast, is very personable, and made my entire stay wonderful. I highly recommend anyone to stay at this cute hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. My wife and I had a room with a queen bed and the teenagers had their own adjoining room with two queens. We mostly kept the adjoining door locked though! We had a large picture window looking out on the beautiful trees and falling snow. Riva the manager was kind and very helpful. She... More

Despite the fancy new cover, this is still an old-school motel. But there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're in Tahoe for the great outdoors and not about to spend the entire day inside! Here's the scoop: -- the motel is right on the main drag in Tahoe City, so you can walk to dining etc -- it is... More

We stayed here 3 nights during February while we were doing some skiing around the Tahoe area. Overall, my wife and I were very happy with our stay. The service was great. The owner was a very nice lady and always prompt and courteous to help us. The provided free breakfast does not have a huge selection, but it was... More

We were very disappointed in the condition of the room. Bedspreads were dirty/stained. Sheets did not fit, kept coming up. Matress pad lumpy. Bathroom needed some cleaning, towel rack broken. Needed light bulbs which they did replace only one. Will not stay here again.
