The hotel accommodations were nice. But the true highlight was our experience in the JWB bar. Our bartender Ann was very attentive to our needs for drinks as well food during Happy Hour. She took the time to visit with us and made the experience wonderful.

I stayed at Margaritaville Lake Tahoe during a recent holiday and found it to be a well-located hotel with a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Its proximity to the lake is a real advantage, and the lobby and common areas have been decorated with a fun, tropical flair that fits the setting nicely. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were welcome additions, especially after a day out, and the on-site laundry facilities (paid) were convenient for a longer stay. The concierge staff were particularly helpful with the luggage and made check-in smooth. That said, there were a few areas that could benefit from closer attention to detail. The suite had visible stains on the sofas and scuff marks on the walls, and the windows were a bit temperamental. The reception staff could have been more engaging, and valet service — while courteous — was slow in retrieving the car at times. I didn’t dine at the hotel, so I can’t speak about the food, but overall, Margaritaville is a solid option for families or casual travelers who want easy access to the lake and a laid-back stay with practical amenities. With a few refinements, it could easily offer a more polished experience. Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Shame about the Resort & Parking Fees

Jul 30, 2025 Graham B Colchester

Firstly, like others I would like to say the Hotel is nice and in a great location. However the Resort Fees (for nothing we used) and the Valet ONLY parking fees are extortionate. It doubles if not more the price of the stay. We also stayed 2 nights and did not expect a clean room but were promised a replenishment of Coffee/Creamer etc. which… Read more
Firstly, like others I would like to say the Hotel is nice and in a great location. However the Resort Fees (for nothing we used) and the Valet ONLY parking fees are extortionate. It doubles if not more the price of the stay. We also stayed 2 nights and did not expect a clean room but were promised a replenishment of Coffee/Creamer etc. which never arrived. I know other guests stayed 5 nights and did not receive a clean. Check out was excruciatingly slow with only one staff member on the desk and another Customer checking out bemoaning the extras on his bill. He was quite right in my opinion. I would Glady forego everything we supposedly received to warrant the resort fee and save that expense and park my own car for a reduced fee. This is the only way I would ever consider staying again which is a shame. Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Between the room fee, resort fees, valet fees, parking fees, taxes…I can’t justify the cost of the two days we stayed.

The location was fantastic. As for the cost of everything, cost of room and fees and taxes makes it a pricey place to stay. Out of the 3 adults, somehow all 3 of us missed the added fees.

The location was fantastic. As for the cost of everything, cost of room and fees and taxes makes it a pricey place to stay. Out of the 3 adults, somehow all 3 of us missed the added fees. There is a resort fee of about $60 a night which covers use of the pool, fitness center, ski storage, movie night, and some things that only happen on the weekends…which we were there for tues and Wednesday, etc. None of which pertained to us, but we pay for. Didn’t use the fitness center, didn’t use the pool, ski season isn’t here yet, wasn’t around for movie night, and the weekend we didn’t stay for. There is no parking available so if you drive you’d have to find somewhere to park or pay $40 a night for valet. You can’t use the luggage carts..but you can have valet bring your luggage to your room. There is NO microwave in your room or mention of available microwaves, however there are 3 on the first floor if you need one. It would be nice to have that mentioned when checking in or posted in your room. There is late checkout for a whopping $100 for 45 minutes. The rooms were cleaned but there was noise even after 10pm quiet time. They do have breakfast in the morning till 11, but this is not included. There was a good selection of food, but the food was not hot and some overcooked. Had read somewhere that we would get 2 complimentary drinks upon check in, so I guess that was the 2 bottles of water in our room. The best thing is the location. Read less

Jul 16, 2025 Carlyn J

Close to stateside, the golf course, tons of restaurants and shops. Really appreciated the shuttle! It picked us up right outside of the golf course after the American Century tournament. It saved us from walking in the heat and the driver was fantastic. I just wished the shuttle was running the rest of our stay. Valets were great, but I avoid… Read more
