Lakeside Gondola Residence Lodge

Great location and customer service. I have stayed more than a few times and each time has been great. The ease of knowing your room, code to get in and being able to just show up and relax without checking in with a front desk is so nice.

Great location near the gondola and restaurants and ski rental. Nice accommodations with comfortable beds and clean rooms.

We had a fantastic experience at the Gondola Lodge in South Lake Tahoe. I'm a very particular person and never accept the first hotel room I'm given. I was very impressed with this resort on many fronts: location, cleanliness, supplies, general comfort (beds, pillows, towels)... Will book the Gondola Lodge again!

We were a couple staying in a studio.
Room was clean, efficient kitchenette with all the necessities, large bathroom, easy parking and fantastic location, walking distance from city center. Cute and thoughtful additions such as vouchers to a nearby private beach, and 2 souvenir shot glasses.
Smooth self check in and out process. We will be sure to come back, price was great too!

Experience has been great. Easy, simple access to the place, hot tub and pool is up and going, room is a good size and bathroom is nice with tub. Easy Walking distance from heavenly gondola, the lake, the casinos, lots of food and coffee places. I’d definitely stay here again.

My buddy and I wanted to enjoy a long weekend skiing, and Gondola Lodge was just the place! Everything was so clean, comfortable, and cozy when we arrived after a long, snowy, late night drive up from the Bay. The location is ideal for walking to the gondola or into town for food, but we especially loved having our own kitchenette. It was just enough room for two friends traveling together (plus all our ski gear!) Communicating with Jennifer was clear and easy beforehand, and she was very helpful with my questions/requests. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay, but the best part was chatting with Jeff and John who work there. They were so helpful as we tried to navigate the crazy snow storm that came through that weekend (especially as we learned how to put on snow chains!) They were so kind and helpful. I would come here again in a heartbeat!

Charming place to stay in the middle of all the action. Walking distance to beach, casinos, gondola, and plenty of restaurants and shopping. Very clean and well kept. We loved that the parking lot was gated; gave us extra peace of mind with our cars and having little ones. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to go back!

The location of your Gondola Hotel is excellent. We could quickly walk to the Gondola to ski all day.

My husband wanted to put clothing in the dresser in our room 203 but could not open the closet door enough to be able to open the dresser drawers. The flooring was too high to open the door.

I used the room jacuzzi and black mildew came out the jets. Jacuzzi apparently need to be cleaned regularly.

I found this hotel very anti social. The outdoor pool & jacuzzi were closed and there is no gathering place for the hotel guests. Previously, we stayed in the hotel across the street and got free breakfast there and were able to meet other hotel guests. There is also no front desk to ask questions. This makes the whole experience very impersonal too. I also thought it was interesting how I need to sign a document that we would be quiet to stay at your facility.

I enjoy meeting the other hotel guests when we go on vacation.

The room was nice and we enjoyed our stay. I liked the shot glasses we were given as a gift. I liked the secure gated parking lot. Thanks so much.

My husband and I were looking to get away from life for a little bit and the heat of Sacramento. The spot is quiet, cozy, serene, and just what the doctor ordered. The kitchen area accommodated us cooking breakfast in the mornings. The bed was so incredibly comfortable we almost didn’t wanna get up and continue our day. I was able to spend two hours at the pool by myself while the hubby napped in peace, and it was magical. There are tons of small areas with chairs, tables and optional barbecues that are super cute; and would definitely be used in the future. It was refreshing to be in a place where we had privacy and quiet without worrying about people running up and down the hallway or in and out of slamming doors. Thank you for accommodating us last minute when the original room we booked wasn’t quite what we were expecting! We absolutely love this place and look forward to coming back.

Jennifer helped me with a last minute Christmas reservation. We enjoy staying at the Gondola in South Lake Tahoe. It has all of the amenities we need and easy access and gated, so we feel safe! We prefer this location as it's close walking distance from Heavenly Village and the Gondola. We'll be booking our next ski trip there!

My family and I stayed at the lodge November 8-10 in the queen studio room. The room was nice and the space was utilized efficiently. The property is gated which is always good. Location is about a 5 min walk from everything and that includes walking with a toddler. Jennifer the owner was amazing and accommodated my every need and also, I'd like to give a shout out to John and Tony for helping me remove my snow chains!! These guys were great. :) I'd definitely stay again!

Such a nice little gem of a place. I have stayed in most of the lower cost hotels on the west side of the highway, and the Gondola
lodge is by far the nicest. Very clean, easy booking and access, very responsive managers. Each room had a tiny mini-kitchen which worked out well so we didn’t have to eat three meals a day at restaurants.
A very short walk to the village, shops, gondola and restaurants.
Great place!

Overall, the property at Lake Tahoe was nice! Room was well appointed. Great location! Kitchen was set up well also. Nice pool area. Only feedback is that TVs were a little quirky and it would have been nice to have full size fridge vs 2 mini fridges.

Very cozy, clean and convenient. Jet-tub and fireplace in the room is super nice.
But besides all - location is everything. Located on a quite side street, yet 3 minutes walking distance from the Heavenly Gondola and the Village.

I am posting my review early because I am beyond happy with this place!! It is my new favorite spot to stay while visiting South Lake Tahoe. The owner is outstanding!! The room is so charming and homey feeling. If you plan on visiting South Lake Tahoe, stay at Lakeside Gondola Lodge!!!!!

Great place to stay with super close access to the resort, casinos, restaurants and the grocery store! We didn’t have to drive anywhere. The fireplace was way nice to have and the hosts were easy to communicate with!

We stayed at their Lake Tahoe hotel. Very nice and cozy 2 bedroom. Decor is updated and very homey. Complete kitchen with instructions everywhere. Beds could use replacement as they were a little springy. But overall, a great stay!

Great experience! Gary is the best, my kids didn’t want to leave this hotel because of him! He was very attentive, always give us promptly everything we needed. Peaceful place. Beds were clean and very comfortable. Was really easy to extend our check-out time with no extra charge, thank you for it! Customer service definitely 5 stars!

The Gondola Lodge in South Lake Tahoe is a great place to stay for families! We (4 adults and 3 teenage boys) stayed there for 5 nights recently and were in one of their 4 room units. The units were comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed during our stay. An added bonus is that the parking is inside a gated area on the property. John the onsite manager is great and offered excellent, fast service. Whenever we needed something he would bring it right up to us within minutes! I would definitely recommend this place for families that are looking to stay in South Lake Tahoe. It's walking distance to Heavenly Village which has great shops and dining choices. If you're a gambler, it's about a half mile from the state line where you'll find Harrah's, Harvey's and the Hard Rock Hotel casinos.

A cozy suite with everything you need for a relaxing weekend. Excellent customer service! This lodge is privately run by a family and they take very good care of the facility. Everything was clean and in working condition, including the Jacuzzi tub. Within walking distance of the Tahoe lake shore (with free beach access code) and the main boulevard. We loved it so much, we extended our trip. Texted the owners and they took care of it within less than an hour. No muss, no fuss, no having to go through travel websites! A wonderful experience that we hope to repeat soon. Thank you for making our stay effortless.
