Start a fire on the Hotel, Nobody(staffs) called us to the our room!!!! The elevators was off. There was eletriccal problems, smoke smells. We need evacuated the room soon, and let everything in the room and did go down by the stairs so fast. Old furnitures Old bed Old bathroom
At midnight we decided go to other Hotel, much nicer and less price, because the elevators does not work and our floor was to high. It was nightmare!
First the plusses: The view from our room (7th floor) is incomparable. Cleaning lady is friendly and polite Interesting history Interesting that the state border runs through the hotel. Window opens
Now the minuses: No internet (which was one reason why we stayed here instead of the Hyatt where we would have a daily fee). Few ...
I had a terrible experience from the moment I booked the hotel, but since Hyatt resort was booked for a Saturday night stay, I booked this hotel for one night. I saw the website, that they had one room available, but decided to call to make the reservation. I was told I can not book for one night, despite the website indicated I could. Rude ...
The hotel is old and in need of updating, but it was clean and comfy. If we were to go to Northshore Tahoe again I would be happy to stay here again. My husband and I went to see The Shakespear Festival which I would recommend.

Time for Serious Reno's

Was in the area for business. The rate was the reason it was chosen.
It is in serious need of a face-lift. Am told the new owner is close to doing just that. Rooms tired, decor dated. The rooms were clean. The casino staff looked quite bored - I don't gamble, just an observation. You could fire a cannon through the casino & restaurant ...
The feeling of the hotel was very unique. It was quiet and not a lot of people, which we actually like. The dining experience wasn't good but they are currently renovating - can't wait to see it when they are done. The view from our room was spectacular and from the way the hotel was laid out it appears there is a view from any room.
The Cal Neva was okay. Clean, good service. Our in room coffee maker did not work. When we informed the front desk, they had one sent promptly to us. The beds are very short which makes it a little uncomfortable. I think the price was more than the place is worth. The Holiday Inn Express for about the same price is much nicer. I would consider this place again but would rather stay elsewhere.

off the beaten trail

Cal Neva Lodge is a very interesting place. Great location, lots of history too. If you like big casino hotels with tons of amenities and modern cutting edge technology this is NOT your kind of place. This is an old time place-really nice. Sinatra fans will love the place. I stayed in a chalet one night because we needed two bedroooms then moved to ...
