Television was impossible to tune, did not respond to the remote control.

Central location was ideal for walking to restaurants etc.

The designer is said to be a "minimalist." With that in mind, the room lacked basic necessities. There was no dresser to put your clothes in. We were there for 5 days and had to live out of our luggage. The closet had no door on it. There were no washcloths in the bathroom. Even the bedside tables were these inexpensive, plastic shelves. I felt like I was sleeping in an Ikea bedroom display. Also, our curtain rod was broken. We told the staff, but no one came to fix it. And, when we asked for more hangars because there was no dresser, we only got 2 hangars delivered. And, when we asked for washclothes - since there were none in the bathroom - we got 2 delivered, but when we used them, then had the room cleaned, they did not replace them. Finally, it's noisy at night. The layout of the parking lot and hotel ensures that if you are on the parking lot side, you will hear every late-nighter walking, talking, and yelling to their car. You will also hear the restaurant workers yelling at the bear who likes to eat out of the garbage!

Evo is in a great location in Tahoe City - walking distance from the beach and all of the restaurants/stores. The staff was nice. Free coffee till 11 AM - and very good! We were able to rent ebikes from them, which was very easy. We had a nice view of the lake, a block away!

Very small room and bathroom in an old motor inn, which they have tried to modernize but it still feels old. The price is too high for this small, basic room. No breakfast or even any snacks.

Location is the highlight of this hotel directly across from the lake and in the thick of town. Nice firepit and fun seats out front. Dog friendly and near to the dog park.

Great location, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, everyone of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, can't ask for much more than that! Restaurant was very good, as well!

The room was rather small, not much space to move about.

The staffs were really friendly and helpful suggesting their favourite hiking spots. There's a sauna and fireplace to chill at.

It was a refurbished motel and soundproofing was not very good.

It was right by beach in Tahoe City and in centre of town so easy walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants. Free bus from Truckee and part way round lake and to Olympic Village. Also free local car rides, all provided by TART. Comfortable elevated outdoor seating with views of lake.

The TV had a wifi connection issue, but I don't really use TV in hotels.

I really liked this place. Super cute, right on the lake. Friendly staff. I was on a staycation, and this really suited me. The price was MORe than fair too. Lots of nice things to walk to, right across from the beach. More than dog-friendly, dog loving property. Thanks.

The music that was playing out by the two fire pit areas was loud and can hear it in the room

Conveniently located in the middle of Tahoe city

The bathrooms are a minimal renovation of the old motel

The location is perfect for strolling through town

The sauna's location, in front of reception and next to the car park, is not ideal and doesn't have that sense of peace and relaxation you associate with saunas. It needs hooks for guests to hang their clothes or towels, as in the winter it's quite cold to walk straight from the room outside to the sauna. The cold plunge tub wasn't yet functional when we were there but appeared to be too small for a proper cold plunge. Some of the fixtures in the bathroom (the shower drain and sink?) appear to be original and seem a little aged / worn.

As is the trend around Tahoe, Evo refurbished an old decrepit motel into a modern hotel. Really appreciate this as Tahoe has a shortage of mid-range hotels for those of us that don't want to spend over $400 a night but also don't want to risk getting bed bugs in a dirty motel. The upgrade is generally tasteful and comfortable, although keep in mind they have to work with the existing motel structure, hence very small bathrooms. Appreciated the on-site sauna although some room for improvement here. The on-site restaurant had a limited menu when we were there but the two things we ordered were delicious - look forward to their full menu. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

You could really hear the people above walking around as the floors aren’t carpeted.

Super modern updates to an old motel. It was great having the restaurant/bar next door. The two patio s were nice! Enjoyed the back patio . Good w our dog.!

Perhaps the cheap materials used in the remodel or build are the reason for the noise level. Walls and doors felt paper thin due to the noise.

Since the floors are hard (vs. carpet) there is a fair amount of noise if those above you are walking around. Check in and check out were lengthy due to system issues and staff newness. That said, everyone was very nice.

The beds are super comfortable and the location is great. You can walk to everything easily, whether along the street or down on the lake walkway. It was easy with our dog. The two sitting areas at the front were comfortable and fun since we had a group. Loved being able to go to the bar/restaurant to get a beverage, snack and hang out.

Great location in Tahoe City. Across street from beach and 10 minute drive to Olympic Valley. Staff were extraordinarily helpful. Efficient, quiet heater. Needs to work on soundproofing from adjacent rooms.
