Top Lake Forest Hotel Reviews

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay and there was so much to do! Our room was spacious and we had a great view of the Heavenly mountain. We ate at both the Del Soul (breakfast/dinner) and Ciera Steak & Chophouse (dinner) restaurants as they were both excellent food with excellent staff. We loved the indoor pool and PuzzleRoom EscapeRoom and attended both; the staff was great at both. While we did go to the Starbucks, it was extremely busy and constantly backed up with long lines. We also loved hanging out in the game room, however, some of the games were out of order and a bit dated. If it was updated, more people would definitely use it. All in all, we had a memorable family experience and it was a great value for the stay."

Edgewood Tahoe Resort

10/10 Excellent

"If you are going to Lake Tahoe, seriously consider staying at the Edgewood Tahoe. It is such a pleasure to be in, you won't want to leave the property. Rooms are clean and well appointed, beds are super comfortable. There are several eating options at the hotel including an upscale restaurant and bar, a bistro which is still upscale - and has breakfast, lunch and dinner - and tables outside and inside. There's a bar area you can sit in and order food and watch a game on tv. There is also a quick pickup coffee/sandwhich place for when you just need a snack. Also, the hotel has a shuttle that will take you anywhere within a 2-1/2 mile radius, which includes many more excellent restaurants and activities. If we go back, we will definitely stay here. Can't wait!"

Basecamp South Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"I came to town in beautiful October for a conference. This hotel was walking distance to the Casinos and it was very convenient. Super quiet with the window open. the room was warm when I arrived, but cooled off easily with AC. I was able to charge my electric vehicle. The room was clean. The common areas, the bar and multiple seating areas were great. There were also multiple hot tubs."
