Decent one night stay.
Got the deluxe suite hoping to relax in the soaking tub but the jets were dirty. Bit of dirt or build up came out of the tub. So couldn't use the tub. This hotel doesn't have a front office. Communication was through text and they responded pretty quickly. The room itself was comfortable and spacious. I really like the electric fireplace. Besides the tub, the only thing that was uncomfortable was the noise. You can hear everything, they did some war plugs for us. This hotel is walking distance to all the restaurants, casinos and shopping areas.

This property has an average '70's appearance; a bit rustic. It was a very nice surprise! very comfy bed and well-stocked TV. More importantly, the staff was very attentive and the property quiet and safe. I enjoyed my stay!

The contactless check in and the easy access to room via pin instead of Key or key card. Made it convenient and easy. And also loved that it was pet friendly and even had separate towels and what not for the pets. The beach access was amazing and like how instead of paying the 30 dollar fee it came with vouchers to go already

11 September 2024
The bed linens we were provided were stained and dirty and they did not have another clean set, so we could not use one of the beds.
The location is OK (except for the construction in front), but most of the hotels are within a 5 min walk of the casinos, the lake and the gondola.
Customer service sucks. There is only a tiny shower.
AC is noisy and is blowing directly towards one of the beds.
Floors are thin and you could hear people on the 2nd floor walking around.
Keep in mind this is a 2-star hotel and I think the high Expedia rating is misleading. There are 4-star hotels close by for about the same price.
Also keep in mind their cancellation policy is not as liberal as most other hotels.

Blue Jay lodge is right in the middle SLT, but off the path enough for a quiet , peaceful sleep. The room was nicely updated, clean and comfortable. The staff was very responsive.

Basically a recently renovated motel, but clean and comfortable if a bit spartan and very reasonable in price. Staff was very nice and communication was excellent. We were there for a concert at the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena, which was steps away as were the casinos in Stateline.

No Service. No Comfort.
There were no hotel employees on site during our stay. Rooms are 3 feet from the parking lot. The fridge was horrifically noisy as was the air conditioner. ROOM WAS NOISY. Sheets were stiff. Could not check out quick enough.
