Very charming two-story motel-style lodging along the same street as many other motels. Safe and convenient - only 12-15 min walk to Heavenly gondola and shops. Can’t tell if it’s because we stayed over July 4th long weekend or if the decorations are always there because the place is called “The Americana”, but there were lots of beautiful America flag decor and flowers all around the property, which gave it a very cozy, homey, welcoming feel compared to the other motels along the same street. Lots of lawn chairs and BBQ grills on the lawns in front of the units. There were lots of people lounging on the lounge chairs at night when it got cooler. The swimming pool with small hot tub and sauna are by the front desk. There’s also free popcorn and filtered water machine at front desk and in the breakfast area, accessible during their hours of operation. Parking is limited to 1 car per unit, and it’s right in front of each unit. It can seem crowded but I was always able to find a spot any time of the day because of this limit. The activity area (just outside the small breakfast area on the opposite side of the property of the front desk) has lots of fun outdoor games (plastic axe throwing, corn hole, horseshoe toss, tetherball, ping pong, etc.). Board games and other games can be borrowed from the breakfast area. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast daily from 7am-9am: assorted Safeway donuts, bread (+jam, butter, cream cheese), hard boiled eggs, Quaker oatmeal (assorted flavors), fruit (oranges and bananas), drinks (coffee, tea, water, juices). To keep things clean/sanitary, you tell the staff what you want and the staff will serve you. The indoor breakfast area is quite small but the outdoor seating areas are spacious. Room: also very charming, cozy, and well appointed for a motel-style property, but unfortunately we went during a weekend when it was over 90F in Tahoe and the rooms did not have AC, so we were a bit miserable in the heat. The rooms all have plenty of fans (at least in ”Building 3” where I was at) — ceiling fan in the living room area, portable remote-controlled standing fan in the bedroom/dining area, and portable box fan in the closet that we saw a lot of other guests put against their window (which they can open all the way) to force the cooler night air in. The door to each unit can also be propped open, and each unit comes with a mosquito screen/net in one of the drawers that you can unroll and hang on your door jamb if you want to keep the door open but not let the bugs in. For the room type I booked, the living room has a couch that can be turned into an inflatable bed (ie. sofabed). Instructions are in the binder that’s on the coffee table in the room. There’s an accordion-style curtain divider that can be used to separate the living room area and the bedroom/dining/bathroom area. The accordion curtain divider is semi-blackout (light filtering) to block out a good amount of the light from the windows
Molto buono
