Basecamp Tahoe South Reviews

Chose this hotel for the location and the fact it looked great from the photos. However : There was a bad smell in the room which we couldn’t identify. TV was missing cables, coffee machine had no coffee, sink would not drain and hairdryer was faulty - the phone in the room can only accept calls and you can’t call out so we had to go to reception in minus temperatures to log the issues. In hindsight I would have spent a bit more and chosen another hotel, wouldn’t recommend this as an option if you’re in the area.

It is a motel that has been refurbished, and the decoration is very trendy. The room is very warm, with heating and cooling air-conditioning and gas-fired heating embedded in the wall. There is still sound when the heating starts, but it is much quieter than the heating under the window. The location is not bad, in the downtown area of South Lake Tahoe, you can walk to the entrance of the heavenly cable car if you go skiing. The room was clean, the bathroom was nice, and the bed was medium to soft but comfortable. The disadvantage is that there is a lot of noise after going to bed at night, heavy footsteps in the corridor, knocking on doors in other rooms, etc. There is no microwave in the room, and there is a charge for using the microwave in the restaurant. The motel is very good, but if the budget is sufficient, try to live in a better place.

Basecamp itself was great and service was amazing. Room was so-so, it could be updated but overall we had a great stay. We love all the amenities and enjoyed the firepits during the cold weather. We plan on staying again next visit

Great place to stay if you’re looking for a clean place with nice outdoor space that is walkable to restaurants and casinos

Basecamp is always a nice place to stay with our family of 6. Reasonably priced and comfortable. The personnel at the main lobby and small brewery are very helpful. Fun for all ages…board games and ping pong table. The location is awesome and convenient…walking distance to Heavenly Village and the Casinos right across the street. We will definitely be returning!

The room was a little outdated, you can tell by the color/condition of the carpet. Updated bathroom but the floors are squeeky. We can also hear the footsteps of the people from the other room and the room above us. Parking spot is very limited, so, good luck witht hat! There’s no guarantee that you will be able to find one. The only good thing about this place is it is close to the gondola to heavenly, and you can walk to find restaurants and convenience stores. Other than that, your sleep/rest will be compromised.

The room was perfect for my family of five. The out door for pot is a great hang out spot. The property location is perfect walking distance to all the shops, ******, and restaurants.

It was great we're so amazed because of the price its really affordable and nice room! My kids enjoyed it!

Last minute decision to stay here and I'd never been to Tahoe. Super cozy, staff was extremely nice and helpful, bed was comfy, I would stay here again. :-)

This property lived up to its expectations, other than perhaps it is a little worse for the wear in the common areas than the photos show. It was still comfortable, and we enjoyed the many offerings the hotel had, including large hot tub we used every day (the second one on a nice rooftop deck was unfortunately not operational), fun brewpub with happy hour specials on-site, roomy balcony with seating, breakfast/coffee bar, ping pong table, etc. We were walking distance to Heavenly Village and its gondola, which we took advantage of, and parking was never an issue (though very low clearance for some spots if you have a roof box). The heating system was a little difficult to manage, and unfortunately, we got stuck next to a very LOUD and unruly family who woke us early every morning (we should have complained as quiet hours are stated from 10 pm-8 am). Additionally, the cars parked right under our room were very loud idling early in the morning, as was the staff clearing the paths with snow shovels. So overall not a place for peace and quiet, but ok for a few days of skiing.

Place is grate , close to the amenities. Breakfast was delicious. The only problem was with the housekeeping, we ask for couple things they said they will and never show up.

The carpet needs to go, my son spilled water on the carpet accidently and when I put the towel to dry it, the towel got yellow and black stains (maybe someone vomitted). If they can change the flooring to wood, then this place is okay. This experience just ruined our experience. Other than that property is okay

Our first room was smelly, the light didn’t turn on, and there was a bottle cap in the bathroom making us question how clean the actual room was. We quickly got moved to a better room. It’s quiet, the bed is comfortable but for $330/night this hotel was not worth it. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Hotel was walking distance to the gondola and had an amazing hot tub and brewery on site. Coffee and breakfast in the lobby was amazing. Would not hesitate to stay again!!
