We stayed here for one week in April, 2006.
Our overall experience was a mixed.
We found the place claustrophobic--it felt
more like a large motor home than it did a
condo. Another couple joined us for four
nights and we found that the design--with the
bathroom separating the living room from the
bedroom/kitchen/dining room--meant that you
had to schedule use of the tub/shower in a
way that made sure that everyone else was
in the right place for the duration of each
person's shower.
While we knew that Tahoe Seasons had only
a bar-type kitchen with small fridge and
microwave, we were disappointed to find that
there were no utensils or dinnerware for even
light meals. There were only four glasses and
two coffee mugs. There was a coffee maker
and free coffee pouches with sugar, coffee-
mate and stir sticks, but designed to serve
two people, not four.
There were a few minor problems (spout on
tap, light broken) but these were fixed quickly
after we called the front desk.
The queen bed was comfortable, but the hide-
a-bed was barely adequate. Only two small
pillows were provided for each bed. When we
called to ask for more, we were told that
there were no more available!
The huge spa-tub was a nice idea. But it took
a half an hour to fill, and with four adults
sharing the unit, it made it impracticable to
use.
It took ages to get hot water to the sinks.
The fireplace was nice.
The valet parking was excellent, prompt and
efficient.
The breakfast buffet had a nice variety and
the service was excellent. The pub menu was
limited and not that great.
The location was good. If you are a skier, it
would be fantastic as Tahoe Seasons is at the
base of Heavenly. And, the casinos,
restaurants and shopping are all nearby.
While they advertise a shuttle service to the
casinos, it was only available in the late
afternoon and evenings and they charge a
dollar per person each way.
The decor was very nice, although showing its
age. The plans for the redecoration look
really nice.
The staff were pleasant and generally
responsive.
In general, it was more like a hotel, than a
condo. AS a hotel, I would rate it as a three
star.
