Hotel at Lake Tahoe

Q: We will be in the USA in April and our family will be staying at a timeshare unit at The Lodge at Lake Tahoe, 3840 Pioneer Trail, South Lakie Tahoe. We need a reasonably priced hotel room nearby just to put our head down at night as we will be having all our meals with them at the timeshare unit. Can you recommend a hotel for us? - Julia Bradder

A: A very comfortable option would be the Holiday Inn Express South Lake Tahoe. Located at 3961 Lake Tahoe Boulevard is very close to your family's resort. A room over this period will cost you $112 per night, which includes free breakfast and the use of the swimming pool (www.hiexpress.com). Cheaper options nearby include the Travelers Inn and Suites South Lake Tahoe ($48 per night) and the Quality Inn and Suites South Lake Tahoe ($45 per night). Other resorts you could try are the Tahoe Hacienda Inn South Lake Tahoe (3820 Lake Tahoe Boulevard), National 9 Inn South Lake Tahoe (3901 Lake Tahoe Boulevard) and the Tahoe Chalet Inn South Lake Tahoe (3860 Lake Tahoe Boulevard). These resorts are all available on the booking website www.hotelscombined.com, which also has an interactive map detailing the location of all the resorts. (30/1/11)
