My husband and I stayed one night at this lodge for a quick trip to Heavenly. The staff was friendly and the room was very nicely done. The bed was a little hard, but overall the small touches, the beautiful tile in the bathroom and the cozy "cabin" feel is hard to beat at this price. It's also within walking... more

This place was super clean, really nice and perfect for the price. I would recommend it any friend and will definately stay there again. The decorations in the rooms really give you that Tahoe Mountain feel... more

Who's fudging the reviews? I stayed here a couple years back, and it was just average and really not very clean. Unless they've done a dramatic turn-around, this place is a long long ways from being a top-ranked motel. more

This place has recently been remodeled and the rooms seem brand new. Plus, there is a nice new pool area too. Walking distance from the lake and better yet the Heavenly Gondola. The only problem is they have a viscious dog that sounds like it is completely crazy and they let it run around in the fenced pool area. Avoid... more

A group of us stayed at the Mark Twain Lodge two weeks ago for a baseball tournament. Our room was very nice-newly remodeled with marble countertops, tile floors, a gas fireplace, a "mini" kitchen set up with a microwave, coffee maker and minifridge, and extremely comfortable beds. All of the rooms are nonsmoking which was a huge selling point. The... more

The Mark Twain Lodge is romantically perfect. There is a honeymooners suite that has a whirlpool tub/shower, built in fire place, california king sized bed and a kitchenette. Its perfect for that night before skiing or the day after shopping... I highly recommend staying there, for it is built of quality and will make your stay cozy. more

Ideal Location! Brand New fully renovated rooms. Had way cool suites w/kitchenetts/livingrooms that I will definately rent next time. Resonable prices. My friends stayed down the road and our room was far superior. I cannot wait to go back in the winter and use the fireplace and spa tub! more

This is a very basic joint. Clean sheets. Four walls. Heater. You can walk to get dinner or gamble at all the South Lake Casinos. If all you are looking for is a clean room, with good location, and a cheap rate, this is the place for you. more

The Mark Twain Motel (now Lodge) was closed between June 18, 2003 and April 30, 2004. We formally reopened May 1, 2004. It is no longer just 4 walls and a clean room. It has been fully rennovated and now has deluxe single rooms and three room suites most with their own fireplaces. It is still in a great location,...
