Decent one night stay.
Got the deluxe suite hoping to relax in the soaking tub but the jets were dirty. Bit of dirt or build up came out of the tub. So couldn't use the tub. This hotel doesn't have a front office. Communication was through text and they responded pretty quickly. The room itself was comfortable and spacious. I really like the electric fireplace. Besides the tub, the only thing that was uncomfortable was the noise. You can hear everything, they did some war plugs for us. This hotel is walking distance to all the restaurants, casinos and shopping areas.

The Blue Jay lodge is a hidden gem! Don’t miss out on this property. Perfectly positioned for walkability near the casinos and the heavenly village. I stayed here for a few days, as a local, while my house was being renovated. I can say after working at many of the high end hotels in town that the Blue Jay Lodge does it right! While the property may be quaint, The rooms are clean and comfortable. The shampoo and conditioner places in the shower is very nice as well. I loved that the TV was a smart TV so I could wind down after work by watching my favorite shows. They also have laundry on site which can be a huge plus for those long trips! They are dog friendly and the neighborhood is great to walk your pup around. Many of the nearby restaurants and breweries/bars are dog friendly too! Can’t recommend this play enough, especially if you need a reasonably priced stay in the South Lake Tahoe area!

The room was nice and the hotel was conveniently located BUT there is NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER. You get a text a couple of hours before you check in with the code to your room and there's a sign by the lobby making it clear that you don't have to check in (translation: don't come in, we don't want to talk to you). There's a book in your room telling you where to go to get extra linens/supplies if you need them, how to put out your trash and - this absolutely floored me - a note that IF YOU WANT YOUR ROOM CLEANED YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS PER CLEANING. What the heck is that? This isn't a Vrbo rental, it's a hotel - clean my room and give me some customer service!

I have lupus and highly susceptible to disease. Toilet water leaking from upstairs unit through light fixture onto our floor. Not talking about a small drip. Contacted management Friday night asking for refund so we could stay elsewhere. It is Monday morning and I still have not gotten any response other than they are “waiting for management” to respond and thanks for my patience. Buyer beware.

The staff was great! Friendly and extremely quick to handle & give a solution to every little issue that came up! Parking was a little issue on the weekend, & when i sent a text, a quick solution was handled & worked out just fine! The room was very comfortable & conveniently located! We werent really bothered by any noise! The only thing that wasnt great, was there was not a closet in our room or a place to put our hanging clothes!? We ended up just hanging them on the wooden rafter! Luckily we are tall people! Other than that, it was an amazing experience and we would stay there again! The location is great, close to restaurants, heavenly & right at state line!

This property has an average '70's appearance; a bit rustic. It was a very nice surprise! very comfy bed and well-stocked TV. More importantly, the staff was very attentive and the property quiet and safe. I enjoyed my stay!
