Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at Sunnyside. The location was fabulous, right by the lake with amazing views, but the room was a bit run down and had a weird layout. The service was decent with some nice touches, but the dining options were lacking. Despite the shortcomings, the overall stay was pleasant and relaxing.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully appointed and offered unbelievable vistas of Lake Tahoe, although they were up two flights of stairs. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff and convenient amenities. The location was right at the lake, making it perfect for exploring the West and North Shores of Lake Tahoe. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and noise at times slightly spoiled the tranquility. Overall, a great value for the money.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The room had stunning views of Lake Tahoe, with a cozy king-size bed and a convenient queen sofa bed. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly pampered. The location was a mix of beauty and convenience, despite some noise issues. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially during these restricted times.
