This lodge offers a basic but budget-friendly experience near Lake Tahoe. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable, making it a decent choice for those traveling on a budget. However, the inconsistency in quality among different buildings can be concerning. While there are some amenities like a flat-screen TV and kitchen appliances, the lack of thorough maintenance in some areas might make guests hesitate. For those who want to save money and are not too picky, this place presents good value for the price.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, and the convenient location near Harvey's for a concert was a major plus. The room was clean and had a flat-screen TV, which I enjoyed. However, the furniture was a bit worn, and there were some areas that could use improvement. Overall, it was good value for money, especially given the low price I paid.

I found the Blue Jay Lodge to be a great deal, pleasantly surprising with its cleanliness and good room size. The location is very convenient for skiing, casinos, and the lake, but the breakfast options were quite limited. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for value and proximity to key attractions.

I had a surprisingly pleasant stay at this budget motel! The room was clean and spacious, and the management was accommodating and friendly. While the breakfast was basic, it filled me up for the day’s adventures. The location was perfect for accessing local activities, but the room amenities could use a bit of updating. Overall, great value for the price!

My experience at the hotel was not great. The room was dirty and not what I expected for the price we paid. Despite being in a good location for getting around, the service was poor, and the breakfast options were very limited. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.
