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.

We had a nice stay at Blue Jay Lodge. Our room was nicely remodeled and modern for the price and for a motel stay. We liked that it had a fridge with a freezer and was dog friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I wish I could past some pictures to show the condition was. The whole place is smelly, uncleaned. Room has no ventilation. Toilet bowl was not properly cleaned. You could see spider webs in the corners and dust everywhere. The price was way more than what you get. I absolutely do not recommend it.

Comfortable, great location.
This was an excellent location! The beds were comfy and the rooms were nice and cool. We were within walking distance of many of the amenities we wanted to experience while there, like the shore, shopping, and places to eat. The pool was clean, the perfect temp--my kids loved that it went to 8 feet. My only negative would be that our room was never cleaned during our 3-night stay, but that was not a big deal for us overall. We would totally stay there again.
