Tea Garden Lodge - Hotel in South Lake Tahoe - 932 Poplar St, USA

I like to start off saying it’s not a 5 star Hotel, but it was clean comfortable, and Jimmy was very accommodating. It’s dog friendly my two kiddos loved it. We stayed an extra night after riding our electric bikes around Tahoe. Jimmy was so accommodating he allowed us to charge our bikes and kept them safe for us. The Tea Garden was clean and the price was reasonable. We will be back as the location was close to restaurants and casinos.

Room and bathroom were very clean but smelled a little weird. Pillows, mattresses and location were great. There was an AC but it didn't work, and no fridge. Overall decent but definitely overpriced

This place is a pit. Portable A/C taped into the window, could not close the blinds, noise was high. the word ''lacks'' best says it. nothing redeeming about this place other than a nice clerk who may have lied about his connection with the place...

Hôtel propre et chambre spacieuse. Cependant j’ai réservé une chambre et payé la chambre toutes taxes comprises, mais en arrivant à la réception j’ai dut payer une taxe en plus de $28. J’ai l’habitude de réserver un hôtel sur cette plate-forme aux États-Unis, et quand c’est marqué taxes comprises, j’ai jamais eu ce genre de problème.

Great Location. Love the area with many restaurants. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The shower is very small though.

Positive: Location from Larger Hotels and Casinos Negative: No mini fridge, no micro wave, wifi signal was very weak, Shower floor was peeling and cracked. It was hard to figure out how to watch T.V. as there were two remote controls. I spent two HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE T.V. I finally gave up. Negative: ""

This was my first time staying at the tea garden lodge. While the location is great (just a short walk and gondola ride into heavenly), don't expect much. The rooms are clean enough; however, ours did have a major leak in the bathroom. When someone showered, the water would come up a pipe near the toilet so there was a pool of water around the toilet after you showered. The night we stayed there was also a lot of banging on doors and screaming as well. This went on for hours until another guest intervened. There is also no one at the front desk overnight.

The 'superior' room category seems to be in much better shape than how other reviewers depict the rooms. Our two rooms were in very good condition except from stains on the carpet and an aging shower cubicle. The bedding and towels seemed brand new. Yes, this is a no-frills motel, but what's provided is of respectable quality. The garden area with barbecues and lots of seating is a great asset if you prefer self-catering. The location is excellent - an easy stroll from the gondola and many of the town's best bars/restaurants, but without the extreme traffic noise along the main strip. The manger was very efficient and welcoming.
