Wonderful rooms, understanding and kind staff, and an excellent view from pretty much every room.

I've stayed here a few times now, they are very easy to deal with and the property has great amenities. The basketball court probably has the best view I've ever seen.

Fantastic overall stay, really great location with an amazing view of Lake Tahoe. We checked in late but they accommodated us with grace and answered my calls quickly. Will definitely book again!

Wanted to love this place and was grateful for a Saturday night res, but our room was north of the highway in the area with mean dogs- you’d take your life into your hands trying to cross the highway to see the lake... room view was of old broken appliances (see photo). Heat dial so old it lacked numbers & was impossible to control. Sauna was far away & not too clean. Other units looked better!

Rooms are dated. Beds are HARD. Walls are paper thin. Lol outside of that... it's cozy and a place to lay your head with a nice view. Staff are very nice and helpful.

The buildings are a little old but very well cared for and clean. All of the staff is helpful and courteous, and my family and friends very much enjoyed their stay. Particularly a great spot for families, with the games and activities they provide in the lobby. Thank you Tahoe Sands for providing us a comfortable, welcoming place to enjoy the beautiful Lake Tahoe.

I needed to find accommodations for what would be my first return to the Tahoe Film Fest since before the pandemic. This was also my very first time staying at non-chain hotel when visiting for the festival, and the first room I've stayed at here that has a lakeside view. Check-in at the front desk was quick, easy and welcoming. They provide a map of the premises and a sheet with complete info including a number that you text in case you need anything. You also text that same number for easy check out. I booked a second-floor studio that has a simple 3-digit combination lock. The room itself was a perfect size for me, with a spacious mirrored closet at the entryway, a sofa and coffee table, dining table and a very comfortable Murphy bed. There's also a good-sized TV, which I didn't use all that much since I spend more time online. The balcony had a couple of chairs and a table where you can enjoy the view of the lake with a nice drink. On one of my afternoons, I had the pleasure of watching a flock of geese grazing in the central yard down below. My favorite feature was arguably the most well-equipped kitchenette I've seen in a hotel room. It had a spacious refrigerator-freezer, 2-burner induction stove and oven, a relatively new over-the-range Whirlpool microwave, automatic dishwasher, sink, coffee maker, and all the pots, pans, glasses of all types, dinnerware and utentils that you'll need. There's a Safeway conveniently located less than a mile-and-a-half down the road, so I stocked up for my stay. The bathroom was nice and clean, with ample counter space adjacent to the sink. The oil rubbed bronze fixtures added a nice touch. The shower booth has one of those single handles which, unlike others that can be confusing when trying to figure out what position is hot or cold, turned a little less than 180 degrees. So the right temperature was very easy to find, and there was plenty of hot water. I should warn, however, that the booth itself is relatively small and could feel cramped for those who might be on the larger size or who are over 6 ft. tall. Larger ones are probably available in the one-bedroom or condo. There were only a couple of other items that needed to be addressed. The room's heater was old and didn't function that well, but their friendly maintenance guy promptly brought over a portable that heated the entire room nicely. The window to the bathroom had some spider webs in the corner, so it apparently hadn't been cleaned in a while. As I previously mentioned, I followed the instructions on the sheet when texting to check out. No need to go to the front desk. I just loaded my luggage into the rental car and headed back to the Reno airport. Easy peasy. While my stays at most of the other hotels here were positive and had friendly staffs and clean rooms, something about Tahoe Sands Resort made the experience feel more personable. Not to mention, the rates were fairly reasonable. Some of the features such as the heater could use an upgrade, but those minor issues won't keep me from staying here again in the future.

Our family stayed at Tahoe Sands Resort on February 20-21, 2025. Mr Sam checked us in. He was so helpful, pleasant and kind. We could not have had a better host. The view of the lake from our room was so gorgeous. We had a two bedroom condo. It fit our family of six well. The kitchenette was a great plus for us. Thanks for a wonderful time. Patricia I.

We had a wonderful family vacation thanks to Tahoe Sands Resort. People may say it’s ’run-down’, but it’s actually classic rustic Tahoe cabin. We loved everything from the basketball hoops to the view. The people were friendly and efficient. Many Thanks

We enjoyed our stay at the Tahoe Sands. Full kitchen with a spacious living area included in the good price! Fold out bed for extra guests. View of the sunrise from our sliding glass door. Be sure to ask for some extra blankets during a winter stay. Will keep this resort in mind in the future…
