Parkside Inn At Incline

I had a meeting in Incline. The hotel where my meeting was happened to be sold out. My point status couldn’t even get me in.
Parkside Inn at Incline offers clean large rooms, free continental breakfast, indoor pool and jacuzzi and is conveniently located near a major chain hotel. The staff is über friendly. I didn’t take advantage of anything more than the room as I was there for business.
What they don’t have is:
Good WiFi — yes it’s free but I got kicked off before being able to send an email or make a post.
AC — ok I’m all for being green. The breezes are great but the window didn’t have screens. So with the breeze came bugs and my fear that wildlife would enter via the open window. The staff brought me a fan but it sounded like jet engine ready for take off.
Thick walls — my apologizes to my fellow guests for the roar of the fan and the loud TV. There was no need to set an alarm as I could hear my neighbor snoring at 4AM.
I’d got back because it’s a good deal but I would request a room for with window screens. Sure I have some cheeky issues but for $ 119++ a night in Incline in June it was a deal! The nearby chain hotel averages $ 499++ if available during the same time period.

Positives
–the rooms are clean
–didn’t have any noise problems
–there’s a sauna next to the pool
–free basic breakfast of yogurt, fruit, and cereal
–comfortable beds
–close to the hyatt where you can go gamble your life away
Negatives
–a little far from Northstar/​Squaw
–there’s no hot tub. there’s a pool but even that’s not really heated so renders it useless during the winter (it is indoors though)
–Parking lot is small and may be a tight fit for bigger SUVs/​trucks

Pros:
–Affordable, even during peak season.
–Rooms are nice and remodeled. Beds were comfortable.
–Very close to Diamond Peak (great resort for beginners and kids).
–Continental breakfast was decent (what did you really expect). Included toast, jams, cereal, tea, muffins, etc. Nothing was stale.
–Indoor pool was small but fun for kids. Also a nice dry sauna for adults. All small but more than what you’d expect from such a small place.
–Incline has some good restaurants close by.
Cons:
–Thin walls. I understand what people mean when they complain about other louder parties staying here. We’ve always had good neighbors that were quiet around 10pm, but that can be tough on the kids.
–Parking lot is very tight if you have a large truck/​suv. I had to position my truck strategically when parking the night before just to get out.
All-​in-​all, a good find for a budget hotel close to the slopes. I’d recommend it.

This is not a good place for a family with younger kids. We stayed on the first floor and our upstair neighbor’s were loud all night like at 2am. The floors are faux wood and every step makes noise. Anything dropped on the floor sounds like a 100 lb weight. Rooms are very dark. One of our lights didn’t work. Sink pipe was leaking on the bathroom floor. Heater is very loud like a chain saw when it comes on throughout the night. Walls are paper thin. Wifi was terrible and very slow. Didn’t like the fake plants in the room as they were very dusty. Beds were soft but I’ve had worse. There was some underground parking but not enough for everyone. The water pressure was very good. Pictures of the room were misleading on the webpage looking much better, brighter, newer than they are. We paid $ 200/​night for a Presidents’ Day weekend and it was worth maybe $ 100. I won’t be coming back. But if you are single or have no kids and you don’t mind noise from your neighbor’s at all hours, this place is in a great location.

Very affordable place to stay with great local access to many cool north lake Tahoe spots!

Super clean, which is big in my book. Very helpful staff (also important). All the other guests we talked to were friendly. The downside to this hotel is that the walls are thin, and therefore you can hear everything. But, the place is quiet, so even though we could hear people talking in the room next to us, it wasn’t very loud, and didn’t disrupt our sleep. The other issue is that their wireless internet was really spotty in our hotel room. Worked better standing in the parking lot. Great location, though.

This hotel is small and rustic. Our room, on the first floor, had two areas (not really rooms, but a partition between) with a queen bed in each. We had asked for a rollaway for my two year old granddaughter, but the rooms were not large enough to accommodate that, so they gave us a pack and play for her. There was a small bathroom, a refrigerator, and a dresser to accommodate what they list as four adults. As two adults with a two year old we felt cramped. The paneling on the walls, the lampshades and the bedspreads were beautiful and coordinated with the rustic feel of this hotel. The ground floor units had tile floors, while the 2^nd floor units had wood floors. Our tile floor was not as clean as it could have been, as after being cleaned, we had dirty feet after walking around barefoot.
There is a small indoor pool that was not very warm, so we opted to swim elsewhere in Lake Tahoe. They do have beach access, but there is a daily charge of $ 12.00 per adult. There is no restaurant associated with this property, however they do offer a Continental Breakfast each morning.

A very rustic looking motel in Incline Village, the Parkside is a decent hotel. There are several things that we liked, but some definite areas for improvement.
On a recent trip with my mom and 2 year old daughter, we spent two nights at Parkside. The cabin feel was charming, but quite cramped for the three of us. We had a room on the first floor that had two full sized beds. Because fire codes did not allow for a rollaway bed, they provided a pack n play. The rooms with the two beds have a partition in between the two beds which makes the room seem even more cramped. There is no closet, but two sets of drawers and a rail for hanging clothes was in one partition of the room. There was a TV and a small table with two chairs in the other. My daughter had nowhere to sit, so thankfully we had brought along a small folding chair. The room has no air conditioning, which is probably fine most of the year, but not when we were there. I was quite warm. While they did provide a fan, it had two speeds — off and full blast. It was too noisy to leave on at night and we couldn’t have the windows open because of bears. We had food in our room since we were traveling for a week and did not want them to smell it and bother us.
A continental breakfast was available, but it was nothing special… some breads, coffee, orange juice and yogurt. What I found strange was that there was no ice water. The room was also darkly lit.
Downstairs there was an indoor pool, which was probably delightful in the winter time. The pool was not warm, so we opted not to use it. The hotel does offer access to a couple of private beaches, including Burnt Cedar Beach which has a pool, although it is not warm and cost $ 12 per adult per day!
The biggest negative for me was the floors. The first floor rooms have tile and second floor rooms have hardwood. The tile was filthy. After taking a shower and walking around barefoot for several minutes, I had to wash my feet again because they were so dirty. We did mention this on our way out and I really hope they take care of that issue!

Great room at a great value. Housekeepers take pride in their work rooms were always cleaned and smelling fresh.

Pros: location, price, size of room, private beach access, fridge in room, free wifi, nice view from upstairs room, generally quiet, free basic breakfast
Cons: bed is soft and spongey, no outlets near bed to charge phones, slow wifi, very squishy and uneven floors, breakfast room is very dark (I can’t imagine why they don’t put more lighting in it. It is like a cave!) no on-​site laundry, no towels provided for beach
Recommendations for owners: put adequate lighting in breakfast room, install outlet at nightstand, collect some towels that guests can borrow for the beach, put a pay w/​d somewhere in your facility

Cute place, bad experience.

Could not believe how awesome this place turned out to be. I stayed here on business, and was basically expecting a no-​tell motel. I was pleasantly surprised, to be sure!
The rooms have wall to wall hardwood, great beds, seating inside and on the porch or balcony, and are set up perfectly for summer or winter activities. The table worked great for me while I was working, and I can totally see how great it would be for a ski trip.
I’m going to stay here again the next time I’m in Tahoe for skiing — loved it!

I usually never do this… but had to on this place. Beautiful city, not a bad hotel but the owner is an absolute P.O.S. Me and my girl are college students tight on money and stayed here for a wedding. They charged my account 3 separate times and brought my account into a negative balance that I had to pay a penalty on. ALSO for the rest of the trip we only had $ 40 in cash that my girlfriend luckily brought and when I called the owner she couldn’t care less. She insisted that her business did nothing wrong and that it was my banks fault. I consider myself a fair and respectful person and would NEVER do this unless it was absolutely necessary. but this lady is cold hearted female dog.
Have a nice day :)

One of loudest motels I have ever stayed at. The room was ok. Bed was noisy and very bouncy. Pillows not comfortable. The worst thing was the hair left on the shower wall from the previous person and the hair on the bath mat.

we went to incline village for a snow day, to take the kids sledding and stayed here. It looked like the placed was remodeled recently. The floor was either wood or wood laminate.
the room was clean and the location of the hotel is great. The only bad thing is the thin ceiling. I figure the upstairs room is also wood/​laminate and no carpet (make sense cause of winter) so there is no padding and the noise amplifies. The people upstairs sounded like a herd of wildebeest migrating (i know sounds mean but was frustrating)! You can hear every squeak, drawers opening, walking, running, pin drop, every freakin noise. We had to call the front desk to tell them to be more mindful and TRY to minimize the noise. IF you HAVE to stay here, make sure you ask to be on the top floor! Trust me! If you don’t get the top floor, DON’T stay here unless you don’t want to sleep or don’t mind staying awake until the people on top sleeps, etc.
Would be 4 stars if we were in the upstairs room.

Room — Great and spacious — Free Wifi
Breakfast — very good
Staff — Friendly — but after asking for a 4^th bath towel the first night (4 occupants) only 3 were replaced the next morning.
Diamond Peak Shuttle — Very easy
Noise — BAD
The noise is our only complaint about the hotel but it is an important one. The older construction is not very well soundproofed. Footsteps in the room above were easily heard thanks to the hardwood floors. Also stay away from rooms near the stairs. (especially #115) The construction makes the stairs reverberate into the rooms.
I would stay again if I could be assured of a second floor room away from the stairs.
Overall a good value especially on the holidays.

This is the best hotel I have stayed at for the price. The room, after fees and taxes, totaled $ 72/​night on Priceline.
The room is very large, complete with wood floors. The bed was a king with a memory foam mattress. The bathroom was large, clean, granite counters, everything looked new. There is a very soft couch in the room, mounted flat screen television, a fridge, and a large out-​of-​the-​way closet area. Two full-​length mirrors and a fake plant for décor. There is also a round table with two chairs. Our towels were shaped like swans!
I recommend this hotel a 100 percent to anyone staying in the Tahoe area!

Excellent find | Great service
$ — $$
My husband and I stayed here over this past weekend. I’m SO glad I booked this place!
I usually look at places to stay on AirBnB, but everywhere in Tahoe is pretty expensive. I figured in this case it would be better to stay at a hotel or motel for the weekend. I researched several options — hotels and motels — and none of them really convinced me to spend my money there. Either the price was too expensive for the small, old space or the reviews weren’t that great for the price they were charging.
PARKSIDE INN was absolutely worth it.
+super comfortable bed (4 inch thick foam pad, what?!) — i slept for 9 hours each night
+heater — fan was a little noisy, but we sleep better with white noise so not bad.
–no microwave, but that’s okay!
+the heated indoor pool and hangout area is awesome
+good continental breakfast (7:30 to 10:30) — loved the muffins
+pretty quiet
+good location — few minutes away from Safeway, Starbucks, restaurants
+front desk is friendly
+check-​in was fast and easy
–For our room (207), our TV power cord was a little touchy at first. Had to have the power cord rest on the trash can to make the tv turn on: P
+shampoo and body soap is provided in bulk dispensers
+hangout porch area right outside your room
For the price, this is a solid place to stay. It was clean and they did a great job at renovating and decorating the place. I recommend this place and I know I’ll be back. Thanks for a great stay, guys!

Our go-​to recommendation for out-​of-​town colleagues or guests who need a place to stay but don’t want to spend $ 400 a night at the Hyatt for a quick overnight. We routinely book the room on behalf of our people, who then check in on their own and pay directly when they check out. Time after time, the front desk has been super helpful and everyone reports a nice, restful sleep and are pleasantly surprised with the services for the published rates (anywhere from $ 125 and up).

Overall, this is a very good value motel in Incline Village. To get a better deal, you would have to go into Kings Beach.
Major fail: There is no hot tub at this motel. The hot tub is inoperable, and has been paneled over:
However, they do have a small heated swimming pool in the spa area.
During the winter, breakfast service is not provided mid-​week (except the week of Christmas-​New Years). But it’s not a big deal, because you can get breakfast options at the Hyatt (at the Bakery or Café), or at Art’s Café, or at IV Coffee Lab.
But overall, the motel is nice: I stayed in a «premium» room:
— The premium rooms are well appointed (but no microwave)
— For me, the WiFi was very fast.
— The bed had a really comfy memory-​foam pillow top, with a nice comforter and comfy pillows.
— Nice balcony, looking into a forest
— Nice hardwood flooring. Try to get a room on the second floor: you’ll hear every step from someone above you.
— It’s relatively quite: you won’t hear road noise if you are staying in the rear building.
— They have a small underground parking garage, so your car will be immune to the weather.
