Great Location and Hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Nov 2020
Our family spent 5 nights at Timber Ridge just prior to the opening of the ski season. Our original stay was to be 4 nights but had to add the 5th night and the hotel was so accommodating to us and we were able to stay in our same room. We booked a two bedroom suite (full one bedroom suite with kitchen and the adjoining single room) at a great price. There is an additional $29/night charge for valet parking (no self parking) and the hotel has a text system for your car retrieval that works well. The kitchen is well equipped and we found anything we needed to prepare some meals in our room. The location of Timber Lodge is excellent. Located at the Gondola and within the Heavenly Village there are so many choices of eating and snack places. And just steps away from the State Line and the casinos of Nevada. Our room was very clean and when we needed extra towels, soap, etc it was brought up to our room quickly. There is no daily room service with Covid and we did not miss that service. There is a nice hotel gym but was closed for most of our stay due to Covid restrictions. The staff was very nice and did their best to have the guests conform to Covid rules of face masks and social distance. There is even a sign on the elevator doors stating only one person in the elevator at a time expect for family members. Inside our room the TV controls were wrapped in a plastic sleeve to insure Covid sanitation. Also when checking into the hotel the luggage carts are clearly marked which ones have been sanitized. All in all this is a wonderful hotel and location for your stay in South Lake Tahoe.

Marriotts are typically great and you can usually count on cleanliness and quality sleep. However, this particular property is prob the worst I’ve stayed at, from start to finish. First, you can only valet (which is $30) unless you want to park at Harrahs or elsewhere. The parking attendant that approached our vehicle got all our info and said he’d come back with a green ticket. Never came back. So we just got out of the car and proceeded to check in. At which point the other valet ppl stopped us and were giving my sister a hard time. Just didn’t know what they were doing and disorganized. Had to register car all over again. Like Groundhog Day. And then that second guy still walked away without taking the keys or giving a ticket, so we were like ummmm??? And he said “oh sorry.” Yeah. Then at check in desk, credit card reader wouldn’t work. We were driving all the way from East Utah on that day and got a flat tire. Notified the hotel that we would be arriving quite late and requested late check out. The person I talked to said we could check out at noon. Great. Well, next morning we called the desk around 9am just to make sure. Nope, no late checkout noted. But every detail about our late arrival and flat tire noted. Lol. So, the only thing we wanted didn’t happen. Cool! Lastly. Checkout. Also chaotic and unsatisfactory. Another car was blocking ours. Cars erratically parked everywhere. I actually directed traffic to help my sister get out.

2 stars for comfort and cleanliness. Not sure if all of this is a fluke but it sucked. Hope this helps.

Great location close to restaurants and casinos. We really enjoyed having the kitchen space and living area. Being a group of 5 adults, we were a bit disappointed in the twin sized pullout couch in the second bedroom. This appears to be isolated to the top floor though. My only other complaint is that they were down to one elevator which caused extreme wait times. These were minor compared to the convenience and value. I am a Marriott elite member and was never asked to attend a timeshare presentation. All employees we interacted with were friendly and professional.

The Marriott Timber Lake is in a prime location; steps to gondola to the top of Heavenly Ski resort as well as a five minute walk to the Casinos (Harvey’s, Harrah’s, Hard Rock and Bleu). It’s also connected to a quaint vibrant shopping and dining complex that’s great for adults and families as it includes attractions such as miniature golf. Just a block away is a large grocery store where you can get supplies for the In room kitchen. The property is very clean and the rooms sanitized including the remotes and bathroom and kitchen supplies In sealed bags. A very enjoyable stay but parking is valet only and $29.00 a night.

Room tip: Rooms on the upper floors have lake or Mountain Views

Stayed in a 1b1b residency during covid.
Pros:
no resort fee
valet parking is fast and friendly
Room is good, spacious, with everything you need
Cons:
0 elite status recognition. Problem for all mvc places from my experience but this is the worst (want to late checkout for a hour -> from 10 to 11, and was told not possible "if late you pay". a very disappointing answer during non-peak season)

and why Marriott sucks -> the review of your stay is by invitation only. ever since I posted something negative of my stay they stop letting me review. shady af.

Marriott's Timber Lodge is very nice, even though many services are limited due to Covid. It has a great location literally steps from the gondola ride up to the top of Heavenly mountain. The grills were open. The pool was open. And the fire pits were working. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
