Apex Inn

Stayed here in the middle of June. Only paid $ 45 per night plus taxes for two week nights. It was nicer than what we were expecting for the price. Very clean room, comfortable bed. Exactly what we were looking for.

I really enjoyed my stay. One of the closest motels to Kirkwood and Sierra at Tahoe ski resorts. Very clean and comfortable. Shower nice and hot. Nice parking lot with all the ice cleared off. (I slipped and fell on heavy ice at the office of a competitor.) Very friendly staff.

A low budget hotel run by two VERY hard working people. I was surprised just how comfortable my king sized bed was, even better than home. It was very clean, very affordable and the people are top notch.
I have stayed at places that were five times more expensive and did not come away as satisfied as I did at the Apex.
Oh, fast wi-​fi too, no problem streaming videos!
My family and I will be back next year for sure.

For $ 55.00 with 2 queen size bed, I got everything I expected it to be. Clean room, cozy, microwave, fridge, heater and clean bathroom. Its small which is what makes it a perfect pit stop for me and my wife. Only thing I noticed was you can hear the door next to you if they slam it… might wake you up in the middle of your sleep… but hey, its $ 55.00, what else do you want!

Stayed here for 2 nights with my bf. We were not really expecting much for the price we paid but the room was great. It was clean and very nice. We got more than what we paid for. Fridge, microwave, TV, coffee maker, heater, air condition. Staff are nice too!

Stayed for one night this summer. Convenient location, very clean and fresh place, all the necessities are covered (WiFi, clean bathrooms, microwave, small fridge). Furnishings and appliances are not outdated and shabby, which is frequent in small motels.
If you are looking for a clean and inexpensive place to stay in South Lake Tahoe, this is it!

PEOPLE BEWARE: I was quoted $ 89 over the phone a week prior to my stay, upon my arrival date I ended up paying $ 115 to a 2 bed room, that did not have toilet paper, extra towels, pillows. The WiFi sucked, and the phone in room did not work. The worst of the worst 2 days later I found out they charged my credit card an additional $ 60. Bringing a dirty Cock Roach infested motel to a grand total of: $ 175.00 when calling them to find out why they were charging me additional money they started yelling at me in another language when 5 minutes before that they were speaking in English. (People «BEWARE «they are CROOKS!!!)

DO NOT PAY FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT AT A TIME! See below;
This is a great spot! Family run?, well maintained! Very quaint and small with just 15 rooms. There is a microwave and refrigerator, hairdryer, air-​conditioner, free wi-​fi. All the windows open wide, Great airflow. No tub in my room but I never tub in hotels. Very friendly and accommodating Room is small but adequate and comfortable. Some of the rooms have a Wood floor others have rug. Very clean and modern. Not at all run down. Great rate for the area! Weekend rates were Close to $ 90 including tax. We had a truck pulling a 40 foot trailer and they were very accommodating with finding us a parking space.
THE NEXT DAY…
And we do not hold the hotel accountable, but the drunk lady next door to us kept us up till 3am, it did let us know how thin the walls are!:(
DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE HERE!!!
We were suddenly called out of town on business and they refused to give us a refund for the second night we had paid for in advance but could not stay. They refused to give us any documentation that we left early and would not provide contact for management.
We will not return!

I love this place! It’s the only place my husband and I will stay when we are in Tahoe and we are in Tahoe a lot! Wonderfully friendly staff with clean, cute, kinda quirky rooms. I’ve stayed in a few different ones and they aren’t all cookie cutter which for me is really cool. Conveniently located with plenty of food and amenities nearby and it’s nice to be off «the strip» where all the tourists are driving and walking around like chickens with their heads cut off. Excellent price for what you get. Check it out!

Found this hotel through Expedia. After checking out the reviews on Unilocal we decided to book it. The room was small, an older building but very clean and had newer bedding, none of those hideous 1970’s bedspreads you find at a lot of privately owned hotels or Motel 6’s. Staff was courteous and quick. It was a great place to lay your head at the end of a night because let’s be honest, we didn’t come to Tahoe to chill in a super expensive hotel the whole time.

I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else in Tahoe. My wife and I have stayed here at least a dozen times. It is always clean and well organized. Friendly and helpful staff are always available. Located in a good spot near everything you could want to do, literally a few minutes from the lake. When we got married in Tahoe earlier this year, we rented the entire place! They met all of our needs with out any trouble, and made it such a great place for our guests to stay. The prices do change depending on the season, and the parking lot could become a little cramped at times, but there is no better way to support family owned small business than to check it out and enjoy this little gem!

Great for the price. A/​C unit was loud in the room. Wifi was very fast during the afternoon but unusable after 5:00 pm, way too slow. Construction and renovation was ongoing while we were staying here (loud saws and stuff). Room was pretty clean, some hair left here and there in the bathroom. Fridge in room was nice. Room got hot if the A/​C was turned off. Would stay here again.

Clean room with air conditioning, free Wifi, refrigerator, microwave, HBO. Great discount for hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail. Only downside is NO laundry and NO hiker box. Bathroom is small but functional.

Very clean and comfortable room for $ 65 a night.

We stayed here with our little boy over the weekend. The rooms are very clean and the owners are very friendly. They let us check in early. It was relatively quiet and I believe they were filled to capacity.
WiFi signal was very strong.
The rooms are SMALL. Very small. Which is fine for two adults, but with a child and all their «things», we were sort of climbing over each other to get to the bathroom.
These rooms have a shower only, no tub, so that also made it a bit of a challenge for our family. (We were in room 115 — upstairs.)
The windows open, which was nice. It was humid and stuffy because of the weather, so getting to open the windows was a nice thing. (The AC was not usable yet — it was still all packaged up for the winter weather.) We didn’t need to turn the heat on, but it has the old fashioned metal heater units that tend to get hot to the touch, so just be careful if you have a little one who touches everything. Bad burns can happen.
I would recommend this place to people who don’t travel with a small child. It is nice that there’s a mini fridge and microwave as well as coffee maker in the room.
Did I mention how CLEAN this room was??? I don’t think the big hotel chains we’ve stayed in have been nearly this clean.

Read the reviews here and decided to book our stay– the lady/​owner was very patient thank goodness– (I was asking random questions more weather related)
We stayed for 2 nights on the 2^nd floor– the room was super clean– a lot on the quiet side which was perfect, heater was ready to use — there was a microwave– coffeemaker– small fridge-​2 seater table /​chair –TV– hair dryer– basic toiletries conveniently close to grocery stores– shopping– plenty of restaurants–
the family /​owner that runs the place is great– very nice, courteous, very accommodating. Perfect for our weekend get away to play in the snow. We had a great experience– my kids loved it– Found our place to stay — will definitely be back every time we go to Tahoe.

I hesitated making a reservation when I heard the low price but after reading the Unilocal reviews I went ahead and stayed 4 nights for business.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. I have stayed in Inns at a major chain a three times the price that weren’t this clean.
A easy chair to watch TV would be helpful but there isn’t any space for one. I give it four stars for that reason.

Stayed here with my adult daughter, and our 2 small dogs. This motel is GREAT! From the minute we checked in, the staff was warm and friendly. The room was tiny, but darling! It gives you that true, vintage nostalgia, of Tahoe in the early, travel trailer, days. Everything was sparkling clean and well taken care of. The price was very reasonable, as well.
If you are looking for luxury and «extras», this is not the place for you. However… if you are looking for a family run, well maintained, clean place, this is it!!!
I will definitely stay here again and again!

I called a month in advance to make a reservation for a busy holiday weekend, knowing that the rooms would fill up. I just called in to confirm that my booking was there because I never received a confirmation. Turns out, the gentleman I made my reservation with, denied having ever taken my reservation (even though he wrote down my credit card number… somewhere). The lady at the desk said, «He was on vacation for 8 weeks,» so it appears that he is not competent to make reservations after being away for so long…
Thank goodness my gut feeling was to call and check on the reservation status. I would have driven several hours to NO reservation and probably little to no options for that holiday weekend. Sounds like the reviews from the stay are great, but beware of the booking process!!!

I’m wavering between 3 and 4 stars but I bumped up to 4 because of the awesome hospitality of the couple who owns this little motel. Check in was supposed to be no later than 6 PM but they waited for us until 9 PM knowing that the snow storm is likely slowing us down.
It was the cheapest motel I could find on short notice at $ 85 a night. Others are taking advantage of all the people getting stranded and are charging double that amount.
With that low a price, I was expecting to wake up with bed bug bites, but despite how old the motel looks, it is clean and in good condition.
Pros:
* Plenty of parking in available so you don’t have to walk far from your car to your room door.
* Right off the a main street so you won’t have trouble finding it even though visibility was low.
* Free WiFi with a strong signal
* Lots Towels
* Plenty of hot water
* Blow dryer available
* Closet space is sufficient with plenty of hangers
* We had our own thermostat to adjust the heat. Thank the Good Lord!
* Plenty of warm blankets
* TV with cable
* Small table with chairs
* MICROWAVE!!!
* Small fridge
* A small coffee maker with a basket of hot chocolate, coffee, and… wait for it… LOTS OF PACKETS OF EMERGEN-​C!!!
* Really close to the casinos. We were driving 25 mph and made it to Harrahs in about 20 minutes. Which means it’s about the same distance to Heavenly Ski Resort.
Cons:
* A little cramped. Well, what did you expect? This wasn’t a grandsuite at the Four Seasons Hotel.
I wasn’t expecting this and I doubt many do, but I would just like to suggest to the super nice couple to add floor rugs right inside the door. All the snow that fell off our boots made the carpet all wet :(So it kinda sucks for thenext guest.
But if you’re low on cash and you need a nice place to stay the night, this is a good bet.
