I booked a room with queen room with sofa bed. I’m not sure if there was an error because we ended up in a one bedroom condo with a full kitchen, gas fireplace and balcony and access to a ski locker on the 1st floor. They let us check in early which was amazing since the ski resort was almost entirely on a weather/wind hold. We only stayed one night and we were able to leave our vehicle in the parking garage after checkout, making it very convenient given 26” of powder and partially blue skies brought out the powder hounds and filled up the ski parking lot. 🏂

Thank you for staying at the Village at Palisades Tahoe, Donna. Although you reserved an economically-priced standard room, management was able to facilitate a complimentary upgrade to a standard one-bedroom suite, which they're able to do from time to time. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and hope to accommodate you soon, Donna!

I like its location. That is the only thing I like the property. The hotel is pricing like Ritz Carlton North Star per square foot but is operating like DMV. The staff weren’t well trained lack of professionalism. The room #251 we stayed , everything is outdated, falling apart, old and smelly. I will always go back to Ritz in North Star but hesitate to stay this place.

Thank you for your feedback, Wen. Although elements of this critique present a few takeaways, it's important to give some context to anyone who's reading this review.In terms of the accommodations featured at the Village at Palisades Tahoe, the advertised standard and premier suite room categories are poignantly articulated online. Considering the room type reserved was a standard one-bedroom view suite, it's reasonable to conclude that the primary focuses were on economy as well as having scenic mountain views.The Village at Palisades Tahoe offers room categories for all travelers. From its hotel room-like Standard Room to its beautifully renovated one-of-a-kind Premier-plus Three-bedroom Suites, there's an option for everyone. In this case, a renovated premier one-bedroom view suite would've been a more appropriate fit. If given an opportunity to discuss the plethora of room types available with front desk management while you were on site, an alternative would've been arranged such as a room switch to a premier suite.We would concur that the Marriot's Ritz-Carlton is a lavished resort; however, it's a thirty-five-minute drive from Highway 267 to Olympic Valley. Most notably, for a weekend stay in May, the same room type via the Ritz-Carlton is well over a hundred dollars more per night. Even though the two resorts have many similarities, Palisades Tahoe continues to be highly sought-after vacation destination for avid skiers, athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and families seeking to experience the unmatched geography, location and convenience of ski-in/ski-out.Although your experience was subpar, receiving constructive feedback is integral. We're always looking for ways to optimize our guest experiences. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Wen.

This place was no frills when built. It’s really tired now. My room was just bizarre. Strange noise all night from a heater. Couple or mismatches chairs and pillows that are not only old but cheap. Needs an injection of improvements. On a positive note - super convenient access to the mountain.

Booked standard room on Expedia. Hotel was empty. The room was likely the lowest level in the hotel. Front desk staff worked hard to express their rude local distain for an out of town skier guest. It merits mention that there is a $56 resort fee, which is high by most hotel standards. The absence of any amenities reveals the true rationale behind the fee. I suppose when all you have to offer is location without a smile, the “why” is never important.

V Poor Value
location..location..low rent...very out of date and extremely over priced. Paid over $850 pn plus a resort (?) fee for a very underwhelming room with few onsite facilities. Hot tub area wasn't appealing and water wasn't hot. I get that we were paying for location and so we didn't have to fight to park in the mornings. We are used to staying at Heavenly in Marriott which is WAY better value IMO. TV in the bedroom was Michael Scott size which did provide a laugh. We had no kettle or even a pot to boil water...it was my wife's b'day and she was horrified when I told her the cost. stayed at Plumpjack about a year ago and that was a better stay. How did they ever host an Olympics in this resort :)

Convenient location in the village. Fully stocked kitchens. Price is high but you’re paying for the convenience. Jacuzzis lukewarm - we notified the hotel but they explained they have a new system and don’t have control locally… they have to fix this!

My children 10 years old and my 14 year old where at the hot tub around 8 pm and a some adults where questioning them suspecting my kids sneaked into the property, they asked questions like their room number and what their parents name where, they even asked my kids if they “belong here in this resort” which I found rude and a bit prejudiced, my kids are brown. Im generally not a confrontational person my kids felt a uncomfortable so now they’re both refusing to leave the room

Unfortunate
A light fixture in the original room exploded and lit on fire, there is no extinguisher in the rooms, only down the hallways. Took maintenance a solid 5 minutes to get to the room even though I called and said there was an active flame (albeit not a large one, but a flame). They were able to book us into another room but with limited help as their system was down and unable to create new keys right away. no refund/discount offered, no free parking offered, nothing.

The guys at the reception had no clue about anything. Upon asking anything his response was ‘I don’t know’ and asked his colleague if she knew. We had 3 room reservations and requested if the rooms can be close on same floor or have an apartment with 3 bedrooms and response was they have 3 separate reservations and cannot do anything. For 3 rooms, I had to pay 6 times at check in (2 times per room to cover the Resort Fee and Incidental Fees) - such a waste. And finally after requesting a crib in a room at the time of reservation, I asked which room has the crib - the same standard response ‘I don't know’. Finally, the double bed in the room was dirty with nuts and food items spread on the sheets.
