I have lupus and highly susceptible to disease. Toilet water leaking from upstairs unit through light fixture onto our floor. Not talking about a small drip. Contacted management Friday night asking for refund so we could stay elsewhere. It is Monday morning and I still have not gotten any response other than they are “waiting for management” to respond and thanks for my patience. Buyer beware.

The staff was great! Friendly and extremely quick to handle & give a solution to every little issue that came up! Parking was a little issue on the weekend, & when i sent a text, a quick solution was handled & worked out just fine! The room was very comfortable & conveniently located! We werent really bothered by any noise! The only thing that wasnt great, was there was not a closet in our room or a place to put our hanging clothes!? We ended up just hanging them on the wooden rafter! Luckily we are tall people! Other than that, it was an amazing experience and we would stay there again! The location is great, close to restaurants, heavenly & right at state line!

This property has an average '70's appearance; a bit rustic. It was a very nice surprise! very comfy bed and well-stocked TV. More importantly, the staff was very attentive and the property quiet and safe. I enjoyed my stay!

The contactless check in and the easy access to room via pin instead of Key or key card. Made it convenient and easy. And also loved that it was pet friendly and even had separate towels and what not for the pets. The beach access was amazing and like how instead of paying the 30 dollar fee it came with vouchers to go already

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed linens we were provided were stained and dirty and they did not have another clean set, so we could not use one of the beds. The location is OK (except for the construction in front), but most of the hotels are within a 5 min walk of the casinos, the lake and the gondola. Customer service sucks. There is only a tiny shower. AC is noisy and is blowing directly towards one of the beds. Floors are thin and you could hear people on the 2nd floor walking around. Keep in mind this is a 2-star hotel and I think the high Expedia rating is misleading. There are 4-star hotels close by for about the same price. Also keep in mind their cancellation policy is not as liberal as most other hotels.

Blue Jay lodge is right in the middle SLT, but off the path enough for a quiet , peaceful sleep. The room was nicely updated, clean and comfortable. The staff was very responsive.

Basically a recently renovated motel, but clean and comfortable if a bit spartan and very reasonable in price. Staff was very nice and communication was excellent. We were there for a concert at the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena, which was steps away as were the casinos in Stateline.

No Service. No Comfort.
There were no hotel employees on site during our stay. Rooms are 3 feet from the parking lot. The fridge was horrifically noisy as was the air conditioner. ROOM WAS NOISY. Sheets were stiff. Could not check out quick enough.
