Harveys Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino

Very nice location and view. Newer slot machines available, but could be a little looser. Rooms could use some upgrading. Carpets are old and the non smoking rooms had the smell of smoke. An ozone machine was available to help remove smoke.

The whole Tahoe staff at Harvey's was genuinely nice and it made the whole trip a pleasure! Love gambling there as well, and thought all the dealers were engaging enough to assure we had a great time.

This hotel definitely needs a remodel. To start off, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The casino floor is dirty and stinky.There are plenty of elevators to the rooms, so there is very little wait to get one.The king bed room was very large with a lot of space. Other than that, the room looked and felt old and rundown. The chair and the sofa were dirty and worn, and looked gross. The bed was comfortable. There is a very small desk next to the TV, with no power outlets. In fact, there are a few power outlets around the room, but none are near the bed or anywhere convenient. You definitely won't be charging your phone or anything else on the night stand. The TV had a decent variety of channels, and the HDMI ports worked for connecting your own devices.The bathroom area is large with 2 separate sink areas. The toilet area is like a tiny closet with a CFL bulb that takes about 5 minutes to brighten. The sink water pressure was great, but the shower water pressure was weak.The air conditioner was blowing semi cool air, and did not cool the room down at all. The hotel wifi is absolutely horrible. Included with the resort fee is basic WiFi for only 2 devices. These speeds are super slow. Even the paid upgraded WiFi does not have very good speeds and the service cuts in and out.

First, we are grateful that South Lake Tahoe has a Hotel on the Stateline that allows pets. It is a great location. We booked our reservation several months ahead but rebooked it a couple of times when we found a better rate. When I called about the “rate guarantee” they said I needed to cancel and book again. Each time I got my deposit back but each time I was charged another deposit. So, it is impossible to have the hotel handle this like a Marriott would. You’re on your own trying to get the best rate guarantee and I never got the advertised 10%. We checked in after 4:30 pm and when we got to the room 546 it was directly next to the elevators and the sound was such that we got ear plugs to wear at night. One of the three elevators made a honking sound on occasion. Before we used the room, I went back to the front desk to get another room and they said there are no more rooms. I asked them to call if one became available, but never got a call. So, If I were you and you have a pet, I would pay no attention to the 4:00 pm check in time and get their 2 hours early. The room was unusual. There was a small space for a TV with 3 small drawers. There was a small table with 2 chairs and no desk for the computer. The only 2 very small glasses were in the bathroom. That’s it! We ended up using the closet shelf as a counter. There was no coffee pot but when we called, they brought one up. The bed was comfortable, and they provided extra pillows when requested. The shower was A+. The check in person was very nice. The parking is easy and clean. One issue was our understanding that our pet could not go in the casino. This meant that every time we went out to Stateline, we had to walk in the driveway to get to the sidewalk. On our last night, I visited with a security person and said that we could go anywhere. We just wanted to go out the front door on Stateline. and had no plans to visit anyplace else. The pet relief area. was muddy. The staff is very pleasant, room was clean. The buffet at next door Harrah’s was wonderful! The price was fair, and everyone plays the resort fee game. Internet speed was good. Staff was friendly to our cockapoo. I may be back but not in room 546.

Room has an old, dirty feel to it. The bathrooms had a lot of dust built-up in the exhaust fan areas and the carpets were nasty. Beds were comfortable but they were probably the only clean part of the room. Our TV had about 50% bad channels (mostly static pictures).The layout of the room/bath was great and if maintained better would be a great place to stay at. The front staff were friendly and seemed to try to help, but they didn't have many options to resolve/fix things.
