We wanted to visit Lake Tahoe but had not booked accommodation in advance. We started our search in South Lake Tahoe but the place was too busy and congested for our liking, so we drove north and stopped at Tahoe City. This seemed more suited to our tastes. We had found the names of several hotels or motels, with reasonable... more

As I have said before, it is important to rate hotels based on their market. Comparing this property to the Ritz Carlton will invariably leave you with a weak rating; however, if you compare it with other inexpensive motels you can get a solid evaluation. The Lake of the Sky has positives and some negatives. The positives are the fact... more

We stayed at the Lake of the Sky Motor Inn for one night. The owner stayed up late to accomodate our arrival and greeted us cheerfully. The next morning, he addressed us by name when we came in for the simple continental breakfast. He made us feel like welcome friends. We liked the room which had two queen beds and... more

We rented two rooms on Sat, Apr 29, Rooms 122 and 123 for $69/room. They had a door in between which was very convenient for us because we were six of us, 3 adults and 3 kids. The rooms had a king bed with two night stands. There was also a table with 2 chairs. There was a TV and... more

We stayed at the Lake of the Sky Inn as part of our honeymoon, travelling across California for 3 weeks, in September. We stayed for 2 nights & Randy, the owner, was absolutely lovely, helpful and friendly. The great continental breakfast far surpassed many of the dreadful offerings we experienced in California: the Lake of the Sky offered bagels, PB... more

Our room was at the back end of the L-shaped building and so a distance from the road, and quiet. Bed very comfortable, bathroom a little small but nothing difficult. There's a little deck near the pool where... more

We stayed at the Lake of the Sky Motor Inn for just 1 night and found it to be great for $66 a night. The rooms are very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The rooms seem like they are probably being updated gradually. The location was great, a McDonalds across the road, together with a Chinese restaurant which... more

It was beyond bad. I stayed there recently and my heat wouldn't work and he would not give us a new room (booked solid) and wanted to charge us the full price of the room to cancel since we didn't give 72 hours notice that we wanted to leave. I ended up sleeping in my down jacket and caught a... more

Flexible and friendly. Owner operated. They remember you even after one stay. Clean. Close. Keep me coming back. more
