The Village At Palisades Tahoe

“Too Loud”

Wife and I visited the Village in June. Weather was beautiful: 80s in the day, about 50 in the morning. Pros: -Room was nice enough, although the living room TV was comically small. TVs did not appear to have "smart TV" ability, so consider bringing your own Roku or AppleTV if you want to stream… lisää

Wife and I visited the Village in June. Weather was beautiful: 80s in the day, about 50 in the morning. Pros: -Room was nice enough, although the living room TV was comically small. TVs did not appear to have "smart TV" ability, so consider bringing your own Roku or AppleTV if you want to stream. -Kitchen had enough utensils/pots/pans to be able to cook -Close to excellent mountain biking trails. There's a paved bike path from the Village down to the highway, cross the highway and continue on the trail toward the lake for another half mile. You can access the Western States Trail when the paved path goes under the highway. Take the WST up, and then the trail branches off with various options. Not very technical, but steep and loose in spots. Little creeks run next to the trail, and pretty soon you are deep into the forest in the Sierra Nevadas. Bring mosquito repellent. Note: talk to the front desk ahead of time about storing your bike in the room. I got some conflicting info about whether it was allowed, although they ultimately said it was ok. -Underground parking is great Cons: -Although the Village website says quiet hours are 10pm to 8am, Saturday and Sunday mornings before 5:30am someone wheeled a plastic cart through the village that rattled off each of the paver stones. I got up and looked out the window on Sunday and it looked like an employee doing it. I have no idea why the Village would allow someone make that kind of noise so early. The Irish pub in the Village hosted a karaoke night that wrapped up at 1am on Sunday. We could still hear the "singing" with our window closed and earplugs in, and they were loud when they left the pub. -When it's warm you'll need AC, but the AC unit is a floor unit in the dining room and it cannot be moved (it needs to connect to an exhaust port built into the wall). Not much of the cool air gets to the bedroom, and we didn't want to open the bedroom window because the noise outside. -Food options in the Village were underwhelming. I expected it to be expensive but the quality of the food was subpar. -Wifi in the room was weak. Conclusion: We wanted a quiet getaway but it ended up feeling like we were staying on fraternity row. For the price, we would have been better off renting a small house in a quiet neighborhood. We love Tahoe but not the Village. We won't be back, and it's a shame because this place has so much potential.

“Nice hotel, great location, strange checkout”

Check-in was efficient and courteous. Room was nice and you can't beat the location. Underground parking ='d a major plus. Had a bizarre checkout, though. The desk representative said he couldn't email my folio b/c I booked through Expedia. I explained that I booked through Capital One Travel. … lisää

Check-in was efficient and courteous. Room was nice and you can't beat the location. Underground parking ='d a major plus. Had a bizarre checkout, though. The desk representative said he couldn't email my folio b/c I booked through Expedia. I explained that I booked through Capital One Travel. He informed ... "No - you booked through Expedia." (Huh?) I explained I didn't but could he just email it to me? He said because it was a 3rd party reservation he couldn't ... "We don't do it that way here." I've never had this issue. Every other hotel I've ever booked through Capital One happily just emailed it to me. So, I asked him to print it out, took a photo and emailed it to myself. Nbd - he might need better training. Just an odd ending to an otherwise pleasant stay at a nice hotel.
