Short family vacay-(Actually July 2015)

Review of 7 Pines Motel
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Jun 2017via mobile
My daughter & I had no choice but to stay here for one night, since my car needed repairs, & every other place was booked. This place is like something out of a horror movie! The room we were given had no A/C, & it was really HOT! The crankster "manager" at that time, wanted us to pay cash up front, (which went into her pocket). She offered us a roll away bed, since there was only one bed. We came back from dinner, only to find it sitting out in front of the room, covered with some big, nasty bugs!
The window was in the bathroom, which had NO screen on it, & could have very easily been climbed into, from behind the motel, since it was only about 3 1/2' from the filthy alley in back, which was fully of empty liquor bottles! I hope this wretched dump has improved,
but I doubt it. I'd actually sleep in my car, before staying there again!

    Private pier & beach located right on on Lake Tahoe in Tahoe Vista, CA. Our cabins are cozy, with all of the amenities of home and unparalleled access to Lake Tahoe. Lakeside and lakefront cabins are located on the same side of the road as Lake Tahoe, and the forest-side cabins are just across the street.

    The main photo is NOT 7 pines-there is NO pool. It is in an unsafe area with rundown vandalized cabins and graffiti everywhere. The trash can in my room was an old paint bucket and I had to empty it myself. There is no maid service and I was afraid to walk on the carpet as it was completely repulsive. The linens were equally filthy and looked as if the sheets had not been changed.

    first of all, the photo is not of this motel- 7 pines does not have a pool.
    the motel is up for sale and the present owner clearly does not care about the condition of the motel. a hired family manages the motel and lives onsite, but they don't do anything to clean up the place. there are large garbage cans outside the motel rooms- you are expected to empty your own garbage. there is no daily room service. everything in the rooms is filthy and falling apart. the plumbing leaks. the minfridge barely cools anything. the microwave plate doesn't rotate so your food burns. the lightbulbs are extremely dim. the shower curtain was too short so the bathroom floor would be soaked whenever i took a shower. there was no heat for the cold nights and i had to ask for a fan for the hot days- no air conditioning. there were no bedstands, just a crate next to the bed. there was no table or desk or chair, just uncomfortable beds in the room.the walls are thin. the rug was filthy and the room smelled.
    seems to cater to weekly rate people who can't afford anything better. it's in a poor neighborhood with mexican gang graffiti.
