The appeal is the beach and the water access. Few South Shore hotels have their own beach and pier, and the marina makes it easy to rent a boat or paddleboard and explore along the shore. In the evening, the pier and beach are good places to watch the sunset over the lake.
Room strategy: book a lake-view room, and ask which rooms were most recently updated when booking. Families should request rooms close to the beach. In winter, the hotel is quieter and cheaper, and Heavenly is a short drive away.
Practicals: 3411 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, on the lake and minutes from Heavenly. Lakefront beach, pier and marina; two restaurants; pet-friendly. Fit: families, couples, groups and dog owners.
