Alpine Inn and Spa

Price, location Rooms kinda small

Convenient location near South Tahoe casinos. Friendly & helpful staff.

Clean, spacious, comfortable room, convenient central location, friendly staff. Short 2-3 minute walk to rear entrance at Harveys. Would definitely stay here again. Wifi connection suffered frequent disconnects. Okay for web surfing, not so good for real-time tablet games. Cell signal strong enough for backup internet access with mifi.

It was better than we expected. I expected cheap and worn out and not working. The beds were clean and comfortable. Nice after getting beat up on the slopes all day. The bathroom looked recently remodeled. The ceramic tile floor was heated. Nice in the winter. I expected orange juice and white toast for the free breakfast (like the Roadway Inn we stayed at in August). The breakfast was great. Fresh fruit, oatmeal, bagles, danish, juice, coffee, tea, toast, toaster waffles. They advertised a hot tub. I expected that it would be inexplicably out of order when we were there. No, it was good and hot, and we enjoyed it after the slopes each day. We didn't rent a car while we were in South Lake Tahoe. Alpine Inn is close enough to the main Gondola to walk. And we took a bus from the Reno Airport. The bus doesn't deliver you door to door. We knew that when we got the tickets. But one of the stops is just one block from the Alpine Inn. Sweet. The only thing that sucked was the internet connection. You can't beat the connection you have at home. I don't travel enough to have anticipated a poor, slow connection. It was a bit of a shock. And we are all so connected. My phone plan worked great. But leave your laptop at home.

The price - $50 Fridge, microwave and free wifi. The grounds are beautifully planted and meticulously groomed. It's an easy walk to the beach or the casinos. Staff was warm and helpful. Free simple breakfast. We stayed here before, and will again. The building and rooms are in need of renovation. That being said, they are adequate. Some of that other guests can be rowdy.

the inn was walking distance to all the casinos and shopping malls- well lit at night and quite. not enough parking in front - where your vehicle can be visible from your room window.
