Secrets Inn Lake Tahoe, hotel in South Lake Tahoe

This adults-only lodge on the south shore of Lake Tahoe features rooms with fireplaces and spa baths. Heavenly Ski Resort and gondolas are a quarter of a mile from the inn.

Great location right by Heavenly Village and the casinos. Parking was abundant and convenient right in front of the room, but I went during off-peak. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Hot tub works and was a great addition to the room. The rooms were definitely designed to be a "secret" getaway for adults to be away from their kids.

    The location is fabulous, near the main street, you can do a lot just by walking around. There's also free parking on the lot. The room was very spacious and cozy, with a full kitchen available. I was able to do the whole check-in with the lodge remotely, so never really had to talk to the staff face to face.

    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.
