Crown Motel - Kings Beach

"While the inexpensive Lake Tahoe ski weekend is long a thing of the past, there are still some good values out there. If you start by booking a room at the Crown Motel you are ahead of the game. While unassuming from the outside our room at the crown was fantastic. Clean, spacious and updated with two super comfy queen beds and a kitchenette topped off with an amazing view across the lake. Friendly service and for a small charge accomodating our husky Leo. A hot tub lakeside just steps from Kings Beach, what else do you need. Just 25 minutes driving to the small but lovely Mt Rose ski area. What a great experience all around!!!"

"Delighted with a wonderful room featuring a water view, we had a pleasant check-in experience with a helpful individual who attended to our needs throughout the week. Stayed in room 515 where the bedroom heater was non-functional, relying solely on the fireplace for warmth. The front door had air leaks, providing a cool breeze at night, but be wary if it rains as it leads to unexpected leaks. Thin walls necessitate earplugs, especially during intense moments like a loud argument nearby. Despite these challenges, the stunning view compensates for any inconveniences in the end. According to the information provided by the office, none of these rooms are equipped with kitchens, despite some photos suggesting otherwise. In reality, the rooms feature a mini-fridge, (supposedly) mini-dish soap + sponge (provided mid-week), four mugs, two forks, and an outdoor grill. The bathroom sink serves as the designated sink for use of washing dishes. If needed, the office might have random kitchenware available upon request. Housekeeping was quite minimalistic, with a request not to leave items on counters for cleaning. Despite preparing in advance, our room wasn't properly serviced during the week, lacking cleaning supplies for basic hygiene. Mid-week, when we requested service, only beds were made, and essentials like bathroom and dishes were neglected. Without proper soap and sponge, cleaning became challenging, leading us to use makeshift methods. Despite our willingness to clean if provided supplies, we were left with an unsatisfactory experience, prompting us to skip tipping due to the lack of service and preparation in the room."

"My husband and I booked a Standard Room, King, for 2 nights last January 26th to the 28th 2024. I choose Crown Motel for its proximity to T.A.R.T. Route Hwy 267, walkability to restaurants, close proximity to the Lake and reasonable price. We were not disappointed; we got all that we wanted. Noah, the Front Desk person who checked us in, was very nice, helpful and professional. Our room looked updated. It was comfortable, clean and showers was hot & the water pressure was strong. It was small, but we didn't stay there to stay in our room. It was so nice to be able to walk to the Lake from our room. The hot tub was hot with gorgeous views of the Lake! Go to the hot tub either early or late as it does get popular. Would like to stay here again!"

"We recently stayed at the Crown Motel for 3 nights at the end of November. Highly recommend this hotel for the amazing views, value, and friendly service from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. Our room was comfortable and impeccably clean. The view from our lakefront private patio with our own gas fire pit was amazing and we enjoyed sunrises and sunsets each day. Thank you for a memorable Tahoe experience! We will be back."

"5-stars for Crown Motel in Kings Beach! Had a flat tire and needed a place to stay overnight w/ 2 dogs! Rooms were well appointed and clean. Lakefront location is fantastic with great views & beach access. Walkable to good restaurants & coffee."
