Loved my stay at Basecamp in Tahoe City! The front desk was very helpful and friendly and I loved being able to hangout with a beer a meet some of the other guests staying there. Perfect for people who are into recreation and looking for a community while they are staying in Tahoe.

We stayed 3 nights on a ski trip. Great location with a grocery store across the street, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and 10-15 minute drive to the mountain. Perfect for our needs.

Great setup all-around, and really wasn’t expecting the lobby to be so great- couches, fireplace, games, drinks on tap, s’mores and firepits. Definitely would come back next visit.

We had a great time at Basecamp! We love the adventure motel vibe, there is a warm & welcoming common area with a fire & coffee, tea & hot chocolate. Great location, very walkable to the restaurants, shops & cafe in Tahoe City. There's a little slice of Lake Tahoe from the parking lot (the weather was storming so not sure about the view from the top deck). Beds were comfy & rooms were cozy, it's a refurbished motel that's cozy and cute decor. We love these types of adventure motels with common areas so we'll be back!

The room had a musty smell to it and having been redone not a long time ago I expected it to be in better shape. The hotel was being used by temporary workers in the area and at 6 AM you could hear the trucks backing up with the beep-beep-beep. Also for some reason some people were outside the rooms talking for quite a while. As the title stated, I expected more for the amount of $ I was charged.

Friendly staff, great location. Rustic themed decor, basic but comfortable. Paid surge pricing for the holidays and cannot get over the price vs service factor but that is to be expected.

The lobby was inviting with a big fire and draft beer, plus free popcorn. The room was comfortable and clean, just what we needed!
