This hotel is great. It's walkable to many restaurants and shops, and only 1 block from the Heavenly Gondola. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only complaint would be the incredibly loud heater. We would…

Everything was just about right, especially the service. Due to an emergency, we arrived about 1:30-2:00 in the morning. The young man(I think it was Taylor?) was very accommodating and pleasant. Great stay!

Questions about Bluelake Inn at Tahoe

What time is check-in and check-out at Bluelake Inn at Tahoe?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Bluelake Inn at Tahoe allow pets?

Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.

Is there parking at Bluelake Inn at Tahoe?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Is breakfast included at Bluelake Inn at Tahoe?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Bluelake Inn at Tahoe have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Bluelake Inn at Tahoe have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Bluelake Inn at Tahoe?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
