This was the coolest mountain lodge we have ever stayed at. Beautiful views over looking the Palisades mountains. We enjoyed the hot tub with other visitors, and enjoyed that there was two tubs so lots of space to relax and enjoy. Room was beautiful and accommodating bed was super comfortable.
Used to be clean and well attended. They no longer clean your room during your stay. They did before covid and just decided to monetize the savings to the determent of the guests. Our room was dirty from the start, with food remnants in the pull out sofa. They cleaned that on the first night, and never anything else.
The cleaning crew is unable to provide any assistance -likely outsourced. If you ask them anything, they just look at you.
As I have stayed here at least 6 other times, I can tell you that it is a complete hit or miss. Some units are nicely remodeled. Others are old and smelly. There is no "standard" in this lodge.
If you want a place on the mountain to ski in/out, this is very convenient, and could meet your need. As such, avoid except for the ski season.
Really enjoyed our short stay here in mid August. There are excellent trails heading from the resort. Facilities are very good and staff friendly and helpful. There are a few good outlets around although the place was very quiet given its main purpose as a ski resort. Blues night was great fun and obviously attracts a lot of local characters
This was perfect. I went just after most of the snow was gone and during the celebrity golf tournament so there was a good crowd. The hotel was great, very cozy and the staff was accommodating! the free parking was a nice touch too. Peace of mind while traveling was enjoyed. Full kitchen, cute lighting, room warming fireplace, clean bathroom and affordable …10/10
I booked this place primarily for the location to get ski in/out access at Palisades. The Palisades Tahoe Lodge is certainly good for that.
The front desk people were courteous, nice, and helpful. They were happy to answer any questions that I had. The parking structure is connected to the lodge and made it easy to bring my stuff to and from the condo. The resort fees were worth it just for that.
The 1 bedroom condo was very clean. It has sufficient space for 4 people. I would say it’s good for a couple or a couple + 2 kids. The kitchen is well supplied with a kitchen towel, paper towels, sponge, dish and dishwasher soap, plates, cups, mugs, bowls, coffee maker with filters (Mr. coffee) with a couple packs of coffee grounds, cooking and eating utensils, pots and pans. I only used the stove to cook breakfast and used the microwave to heat up prepped meals. It was real nice to be able to ski to the condo to eat lunch and rest up before heading out for afternoon skiing.
The Queen sized bed was comfortable. The sheets and pillows were comfortable and soft, not itchy at all. The overall layout of the condo works well. The bathroom has two doors that allow access to the bedroom and to the main area. There was enough room in the foyer area to lay down my wet skis boots, and poles onto a towel on the floor. I brought my own towel for my skis.
I had a good experience at Palisades Tahoe Lodge. I completed two excellent days of skiing. While the room cost is on the higher side, it justified the value added for the convenience of staying at the resort.
I give the lodge a rating of 4 circles. The room does need some cosmetic modernization with the cabinets, doors, moldings, and couch. Otherwise, I would have easily given it 5 circles.
