    We only stayed one night and wish it could have been longer. Easy self check in with a request for an earlier check in accommodated. Room was a good size and spotlessly clean. The fire place was a nice touch and made the room really cosy. We were delighted with this hotel after being on the road for many days/nights. Good location and definitely value for money.

    Nicely positioned affordable motel right off the central main street in South Lake Tahoe. Trenton the manager gave us a great couple of recommendations for dinner which were only a short walk away. Plenty of parking. Great bagels and plenty of coffee in the morning for breakfast, but fruit hadn't been delivered that day. We were invited to leave our car parked after checkout while we explored the town

    The Elet Hotel is modern and good looking motel type of accommodation with newly equipped rooms and free parking in the property's private parking lot. Breakfast wasn't included however small snack was prepared to our room what was enough for fast start in the morning. Staff was very nice and helpful. I wish to visit this place during winter.
