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!"
