Guest Reviews
- Gabrielle V. (10/5): - PRO: Walkable from both the lake & ski resort. Bonus free breakfast. Breakfast was delish. Free parking so you don't have to pay $5 to park in Homewood. Has a nice dock/patio in the back for lake access. Convenience store is also walkable. Nice receptionist/workers. Clean & well-stocked rooms. Has an abundance of pillows even inside the closet. Has fridge & TV.
- Sherrie (8/5): Location across from Homewood. - This was a last-minute family trip planned during the New Years weekend as Tahoe got tons of snow but driving conditions were not possible except for the few days so we came up. The price of this McKinney suite was expensive which I can understand given the holiday and last minute weekend trip plan. Husband and I got a bedroom w/ en suite bathroom to ourselves while our two boys were out in the living room on a sofa bed that was terribly uncomfortable. Overall The accommodations were good as it’s large, had 2 fireplaces and a balcony which I used to keep perishables there rather than the tiny refrigerator provided. We had decided on going to the New Year’s Eve masquerade murder mystery show and dinner advertised which was $159/PP and the dinner was off the regular menu which we had the night before. Food was decent but should have been different given the holiday. The show was the worst performance we had ever seen. First the evening started at 8pm but forever to get started but then it just went from Bad to worse—we left after the meal. There were no decorations or props in the restaurant which looks quite plain everyday and the performance didn’t have anything to do with a masquerade theme so why is it in the description? The staff at West Shore were very nice and friendly, that is their strength, the location across from Homewood was so convenient and the Lake on the other side. We were able to go nearby to do sledding one of the days.
- Krista S. (10/5): Incredible gem on the West Shore - We were so impressed with this place..a huge shout out to Connor, the manager, and his staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible stay. Worth the price and you are right on the beach. Also much more private and quaint than Sunnyside. We will be back!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The rustic suit, beautiful area with great food.. it was a great place.
- Kristina (10/5): Breathtakingly beautiful - Fabulous place, both the accommodations and the outdoor dining. The view was breathtaking.
- jeneth (10/5): Old fashioned elegance - The staff is very accommodating and very helpful. The McKinley suite is pretty, but lacking in comfort because they took away the coffee maker and microwave oven.
- Veronica (10/5): - Beautiful space, friendly staff from front desk to servers, and pleasantly surprised with the food. Beds were very comfortable and room was cozy.
- Amanda (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay! They were super clean and sensitive to covid throughout the entire process (checkin, hallways, room cleanliness, continental breakfast was room service every day without charge) and the staff were so friendly! Beautiful spot and great food!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Beautiful location on the lake. Quiet and secluded.
- Richard (10/5): - It was beautiful. Clean. The phi the doesn’t do it justice. Amazing.
- Io (8/5): - Quiet, hotel felt cozy, made it feel appropriate for the location up in the mountains.
- BAYLEY (10/5): The absolute best - Staying at West Shore was one of the best experiences. My boyfriend and I travel frequently and were extremely impressed with everything about this place. The people were extremely friendly, the food from the restaurant was amazing, the drinks from the bar were 10/10. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing getaway. You also get breakfast delivered to your door every morning with a full coffee bar right outside the rooms. Thank you for making our stay even better than expected! Can't wait to be back.
- Grant G. (10/5): Lakefront stay - Beautiful view. We will be back.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Mostly Excellent - Great room and location. Beautiful building and terrific new mattress in the Marlette Peak Suite. However the wear and tear of use and time are starting to show. They also started a new policy of completing a card stating what you would like for breakfast and when. There are only six rooms and last year this extra step wasn’t necessary. If anything the breakfast is below par for this establishment and not compatible with the cost to stay here.
- Phyllis (8/5): - Beautiful inn and location. We were there in their off season when the restaurant and bar are closed. If we go back, it will definitely be more fun during summer.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing suite on the lake, the bed was so confortable and the staff very nice with us! Thank you so much ❤️
- Jennifer (8/5): Quaint - Overall check in and check out were smooth. Small boutique hotel with just 6 rooms. The way they do breakfast is nice, but I would recommend offering granola with yogurt and maybe some healthier options (crumb cake and sandwich both higher in fat).
- Elizabeth (8/5): Reaxing, friendly and convenient! - Fantastic spot right on the lake. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Brian. We stayed in the Sugar Pine Suite which was cozy and comfortable. Unfortunately the thermostat in our bedroom was not working, but that wasn't a super big deal as the one in the living room was. We read some complaints about the breakfast, but we found it very nice. Really convenient to be able to pick what you want and it's delivered to your door at the time that you want. The location was fantastic with Tahoe City only about a 10-minute drive away. There was a wedding one of the nights that we were there and there was loud music outside of our window until about 10 p.m. which may have been frustrating to some, but we enjoyed listening while we watched the sunset on the lake!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was gorgeous and located across the street from the ski resort. Wish we would have know that the restaurant was closed as we were really looking forward to eating there. We heard so many wonderful things.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Awesome place! Will love to stay there for longer!
