“Never Again”

Firelite Lodge

0/2 found this review helpful

HAD TO ASK FOR ICE (NO MACHINE), Rattie looking front door, screws on balcony wall scratching the kids' legs, pool cold (upon arrival), asked about jaccuzi-we had to "pull off the blue plastic top if wanted to use it" per RUDE front desk girl, ant bait behind toilet, lights through windows, noise from road, bulbs burned out upon turning on, etc....
AT CHECK IN>>>I said "I hope this place is big enough for all of us". Her response was "you saw it on our website and you are here now, so...." I said "I just hope it's big enough". It was NOT big enough and I was ripped off for the next nights stay when we checked out in the morning. Manager was going to charge me for a total of THREE nights. One of our rooms did not have any balcony. The kids were cooped up.
IT WAS DEGRADING TO BE THERE !!!!!!!!!

“Great place for families”

Firelite Lodge

Apr 10, 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

The hotel is clean and very accomodating. We arrived close to 11pm and that posed no problem for them at all. This is a family run hotel and they try hard to give you a pleasant stay. The kitchette in the room is ideal for families or those on a budget - just remember to bring your own cutlery and plates. The lake is right across the street and the Steakhouse next door is great. It is situated within walking distance to several great restaurants and Safeway. We would definitely stay there again.

“Great motel”

Firelite Lodge

4 of 5 stars

7/7 found this review helpful

The location in Tahoe Vista is very convenient if skiing at Northstar. Squaw and Alpine are not far. This is an above average 2* roadside motel. We had a unit in the back so roadside noise was non-existent. There was a bit of noise from neighboring units although mainly it was toilets and showers that could be heard and it was no problem. The room was very clean and consisted of two queen beds, TV, set of drawers, and a kitchen area with sink, microwave oven, refrigerator, and cupboards. The heat worked well as did the free wireless internet access. The beds were comfortable. All the rooms are non-smoking but only some of them have a view of the lake (ours didn't). The hot tub was nice after a day of skiing. Continental breakfast, which consists of pastries, orange juice, coffee, and a fruit basket, is provided daily. It was a good value at $100 (rates are very high in the area during winter weekends) and I would definitely return.

The fire lite has clean rooms with microwaves and good size fridge. Great water pressure, Clean pool and hot tub. Roadside location can be a tad noisy, but similar to many places on lake Tahoe. A good value for Tahoe.

“Great Place”

Firelite Lodge

3/4 found this review helpful

The Firelite Lodge was located in the perfect setting. Tahoe Vista is a beautiful little town. The view was beautiful. Compared to other similiar priced locations, this view was by far the best....better than many high end hotels. We would advise anyone that is intersted in staying at a nice, clean, well located, friendly, and affordable lodge to stay at the Firelite Lodge.
