While the accommodations (room and onsite dining) are favorable, DO NOT count on getting your deposit for incidentals refunded. I have been trying for ten days to get the debits to my credit card for two rooms I reserved while in SLT for a wedding. To date, they have done nothing to resolve the matter.

While the accommodations (room and onsite dining) are favorable, DO NOT count on getting your deposit for incidentals refunded. I have been trying for ten days to get the debits to my credit card for two rooms I reserved while in SLT for a wedding. To date, they have done nothing to resolve the matter. The hotel's Rooms Director, has done nothing but give me the run-around. The resort owes me a refund of $150 for one room and $80 for the other for the incidentals hold. At this point, it seems very unlikely I will receive the refunds that is due to me. Read less

We stayed at Margaritaville Lake Tahoe on Saturday April 26th. I just wanted to say how wonderful of an experience we had!!!! The hotel was extremely clean and the staff was so friendly! I would like to personally shout out Ray in security and Veronica at the front desk. Ray helped us with an issue we had and he was so nice and friendly!!! He was so apologetic too. Veronica was so nice and accommodating; I appreciated her help as well! Again, everything was spotless and every staff member I encountered was friendly and helpful. You can’t beat the location! Right across the street from Harrah’s. We grabbed a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich in the coffee shop. It was delicious! We can’t wait to come back and visit! Read less

Every surface of this hotel has been touched and renovated! Every room is a suite, with a living area with a couch and a chair, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, huge closet.

Every surface of this hotel has been touched and renovated! Every room is a suite, with a living area with a couch and a chair, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, huge closet. We have stayed at this hotel twice. Cross the street and you are in Nevada. The Parrothead theme is here! JWB steakhouse has impeccable service and food. Casual restaurant has great pub food. There is a small store with a coffee bar. Some days, they have a breakfast Buffett. Very nice hotel, but the employees lack enthusiasm for Jimmy Buffet and his music, service wasn’t great and quite frankly, I felt like was interrupting employees at the front desk when I had a question. Parking is valet only. Valets do their job, in our two stays not one of them offered to help unload or load our Luggage. That’s ok…I used the tip money to buy a drink. Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely come back here. Nobody bothers you, if you are looking for luxury experience, don’t stay here. The hotel is very convenient to the Heavenly Gondola and has ski/ snowboard check in service so that you don’t need to bring your equipment to the room. Read less

Huge hotel that used to be embassy suites. Stayed here mid-week with a friend to ski Heavenly. Also stayed on a Friday night with my son to chase more powder. While there are definitely some hidden fees like resort charge ($50) and required valet parking ($35), the overall value for a clean hotel room a block away from the Heavenly Gondola was… Read more
Huge hotel that used to be embassy suites. Stayed here mid-week with a friend to ski Heavenly. Also stayed on a Friday night with my son to chase more powder. While there are definitely some hidden fees like resort charge ($50) and required valet parking ($35), the overall value for a clean hotel room a block away from the Heavenly Gondola was still great. I spent little time at the hotel and more time on the slopes. I didn’t eat at the restaurants but did grab coffee and breakfast at the provisions store. Very nice that they have breakfast burritos, sandwiches, pastries, etc so you can fuel up and hit the slopes early. The ski valet was convenient. I paid $75 for late checkout at 4 one of my stays, which is awesome and allowed me to store bags and take a shower after skiing. That wasn’t available the other stays because it was sold out. Hot tub and pool are for little kids, not apres ski. Read less

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The only bad thing is room service. We ordered dinner at 9:00 pm to be delivered to our room. At 9:30 I called to check and was told they would bring it right up. At 9:45 my husband went down to the restaurant and got the food but it was so cold it was uneatable. They did credit the bill but we went to bed… Read more
