Overnight Stay
I never expect much when we decide on a last minute overnight stay but when your a motel in South Lake Tahoe I believe an effort should and can be made on upkeep especially these days.

Pine Mountain House from HELL !
Big Pines is under new management from the last time we stayed there. The WIFI (Television reception) was very bad and inconsistant, the Pool was being renovated, hair dryer was broken, the safe was inoperable. The smoke detector was "metal strapped " to the wall !
It as a very bad experience, I would rate them 0/10 points.
