What guests think

Apex Inn draws praise for clean, recently updated budget rooms and a convenient, quiet South Lake Tahoe location near restaurants and groceries, while common trade‑offs include compact room sizes, occasional noise from neighbors, and an off‑site check‑in process.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though some report limited on‑site presence. Many guests like the value, easy parking, and in‑room basics such as a fridge and microwave, but hot tub availability has been inconsistent. Expect a simple, affordable stay focused on sleep and location.

This place is simply amazing. The staff is super friendly and kind. They even had a hot tub. My main goal is to have something close and convenient to the ski resort. This fits the bill and the value for price is one of the best I’ve ever had. The room is cute, cozy clean, and has everything you need. The shower had hot water and it came fast. The heater worked really really well. Nice towels and bedding and across the street from a ridiculously good pizza place. The instructions and check-in was super easy. I don’t know why people are complaining or leaving a bad review. It’s literally about a four or five minute walk at most but obviously you’re gonna drive there. I definitely recommend.

Was up in Tahoe doing a few hikes and this inn was a delight. Very close to everything in South Lake Tahoe, maybe 10 min drive to Stateline? Walkable restaurants and coffee Nextdoor and across the street. Hot tub is a nice touch and there’s a GRILL guests can use! I had no idea till my last day there. Pretty cool. Definitely staying again!

Park in front of the room. Security lock on the door. Coffee machine, Microwave, and refrigerator are in good condition. LED light on the mirror with touch button. Hot water takes a bit longer to come. Perhaps it was a bit difficult to adjust for the right temperature with the tilting stick for temperature. Comfortable.

Room was super clean, comfy bed, hot tub was nice after some long hikes. Can’t best apex inn. Have stayed here multiple times now and will def be back. A nice cherry on top is a grill they keep stocked with propane they guests can use to bbq and there’s a could picnic tables as well. Can’t wait to come back!

The staff is always so nice and professional. The rooms are clean, plenty of parking, it's quiet. The towels are okay but if you stay in hotels a lot like I do, you know they don't use softener due to people having allergies. The sheets are fresh and always clean. The water pressure is good too. The pillows are amazing!. All in all, I have stayed here before and will do so again.

Check in and out was very efficient and attendant was friendly. The room was very small (but clean) and the sink was backing up. It was remedied quickly, but we were lucky we discovered that quickly. We stayed at the property for a quick overnight, and it was perfect for that. Very rustic. For a pit stop I would absolutely recommend, for a longer stay however I would look at another option.

Enough USB ports to plug in all my electronics. Great heater so the room is plenty warm in the winter, nice hot water too. The room has always been very clean and the bed is comfortable. The room is small but it is just right for me! I always try to stay here when I am in South Lake Tahoe.

dated entertainment and furniture. Bed was rock hard, limited TV channels and an exceptionally small room. Just big enough to fit for two queen sized beds that were wall to wall with no access to clothes hanger without jumping over bed. Could use a new coat of ceiling and door pain and fix broken bathroom window. Definitely just a place to lay your head for just one night, if tou don’t mind a comfortable bed ans a tight room.

There's a small picnic table outside to eat on. Nothing fancy, but the room itself was fine. Mini fridge, microwave, and a small table with a coffee maker. It was close to all the beaches and Emerald on the opposite side. Very good pizza restaurant directly across the street. Overall good experience.
