The Basecamp hotel was the perfect location for so many Lake Tahoe adventures! It is an easy walk to splendid Lake Tahoe views, grocery and restaurants. Also an easy drive to the majestic Sugar Pine Point, DL Bliss and Emerald Bay state parks for hiking and swimming. We loved it and look forward to a return visit.

I’ve stayed here several times, easy parking, grocery is right across the street, restaurants around, and 15 min away from the ski resorts, very convenient. The air conditioner was noisy but I’ll just use earplugs.

This property is old and antiquated the carpets were filthy no bedspread, just a wool blanket. The couches in the lobby which are pictured in the ad were very worn were probably nice in the 80’s. Our room wasn’t ready at 3:15 but a 4:00 o’clock check in time ,so she showed us a room and it smelled like they used cleaners to cover up what might have been in there the night before. I waited at the door threshold that was enough for me. My husband walked in and said it’s all right but I could tell he wasn’t OK with it. We were joining our family that was at North Shore and we had been at South Shore. Needless to say we did not stay we did not check in and paid $322 for no room , very unhappy. I have notified Expedia of the room quality but I just want people to know the property is so mis advertised. The pictures are either doctored up or taken 20 years ago in the summer time. Also be careful if you are compromised with walking the steps are all damaged concrete and you have steps and levels to get to the rooms the place is so hard to describe. I didn’t get a good feeling when we pulled up and no cars in the parking lot. We sat in our truck for a few minutes to decide if we wanted to see a room or not. Wish I would have never made the reservation at all.

Cute and rustic kind of throw-back
It’s an OK location. Could beef up the amenities by adding a hot tub.
