Great dog friendly stay
We loved Playpark’s accommodations for our dog. When we arrived we were welcomed with a dog treat, dog bowl, dog towel and sheet that our dog could lay on without being on the actual bed sheets. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed for a weekend stay in Tahoe.

It is a basic place to stay for the night - nothing fancy or upscale. Clean, fairly conveniently located, good outdoor space and facilities, it meets all the basic requirements.

I didn't stay. When I got there, there was construction materials and multiple pickup trucks - I did not feel safe, and drove several hours to get home instead of staying.

Fantastic find!
This hotel was such a great find! It’s very family friendly, and so conveniently located! We were there in March for a snowshoeing trip. What first attracted us to it was the fact that it is dog friendly! And I mean, dog friendly! Right inside the door was gear for the dog plus a biscuit! We had the king suite which was wonderful. The bed was comfy and the room had so many thoughtful extras: a flashlight, a power strip, picnic ware, and plenty of fluffy white towels! We’ve already booked our next stay!

"Renovated" is a loose term. The stone floor in the bathroom was icky, crumbling, dirty in the grout between tiles and freezing cold. Walls are paper thin. There are nicer hotels in the South Lake Tahoe area for less.

A good value for a decent room
A good value compared to many of the overpriced hotels and motels the weekend after Presidents Day weekend. The room had a primary bedroom, a secondary bedroom with a bunk bed for the kids (though with no door), a small common room with a small refrigerator (but no freezer section), microwave, coffee maker, and disposable plates/cups/utensils/paper towels. The primary bed was only double sized but had a comfortable foam mattress. The bathroom was pretty small with not much counter space to put things down, and a small shower stall (with an absurdly tight knob to turn on the water and adjust the temperature) with a curtain that didn't quite stretch the whole way across. The walls were thin and we could hear the TV and conversations from the next unit though muffled and primarily from the common room and not as much from the primary bedroom. The room (unit 2) was one of the closer ones to highway 50, but it was far away enough and the road is not traveled by vehicles at very high speeds so road noise was not really an issue the way it can be with motels near highway 80 in Truckee. So, various little complaints, but overall a good value and I would consider staying there again. Having said that, friends got a last minute room at the Hilton for like $50 more/night and I would guess that would be much better overall, but I don't believe that was available when I booked months in advance and likely the result of late cancellations.

It was a pleasure residing at the Play Park Lodge. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and it was super convenient for food areas and things to do. We went exploring and didn’t have to worry about a long drive because it was RIGHT THERE !!! 10/10 I recommend!!!!…
