• If I were skiing, the kitchenette/studio would be ok.
• The Murphy bed was unexpected and not appreciated. No daily room cleaning. Old.

“North star needs to differentiate between the different quality facilities they have available. I probably will not come back because even if reservations say it is better, I wouldn't be sure.”

• The queen beds were better than what most hotels provide. Very comfortable.
• Hiking trail for hikers only under construction.

“Almost all businesses closed too early. No air conditioning. Our sons would like to come back during the ski season.”

• Great location.
• Could be bit more clean.

“The hotel has great location and surroundings. It's excellent for skiing or other recreational activities. Their condos are superb for larger groups.”

• Quiet.
• Dirty carpet. When problems, only contact was a person in another state.

“Very poor location to where we wanted to be. We wanted to be near Tahoe City. We were checked in and verified that the room was paid for all nights of stay. Then after going out one day, we went 40 miles to meet some relatives and when we returned. we found all of our personal items removed from bathroom, clothing removed, toiletries removed and all food removed: drinks, tomato juice, breakfast food we brought, milk, and a bottle of vodka we planned on having a drink. This is what we returned to that night! Of course, no one is on site or in office and I called and got a woman who said she'd try to contact someone but she was taking the call from another state! We made the best of it but crawled into the bed and got up early the next morning and waited for office to open and the clerk did not know what happened and then said the things must be in housekeeping and we had to go to a Trailer at another location to get our things! All bagged up in a garbage bag! Do not recommend this loser place to anyone and by the way, nearly every building was under construction repairs and the roads around the place were also torn up!”

• Beautiful location.
• Was not there when we checked in and there was nobody could help us get checked in.

“Under a lot of construction right now, but when completed should be very nice.”

• Serene, nice trails, nice units or condos.
• Noisy, dusty, phone in room uses call back, hard to make some phone calls.

“Nice location, nice facilities with access to gym, heated pool and spas. Romantic and calm area. Comfortable bed. Roads and trails well maintained. Nice mountain top restaurants. Shuttle service to slopes could be more efficient in the morning. No ski or boot rack. Cleanliness could be better. Very limited storage space. Technologically challenged when it comes to wireless internet! Restaurants in the village, which is under development, are substandard, even their hailed Timbercreeck restaurant.”

• Great location at the ski resort.
• 1 bed room condo could have been cleaned better.

“North Star at Tahoe exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a 1 bed room condo with a gas log fire place. There was no reason to leave the resort. The skiing is great with shuttles from condo to slopes every 20 minutes.”

• The resort is in a beautiful wooded setting.
• The only bed was a Murphy bed with a thin mattress and awful pillows.

“This is a resort. One rents privately owned condos in small buildings. The setting is gorgeous but not especially convenient to neighboring communities.”

• Great surroundings.
• Construction going on during our stay.

“Hotel is in a great setting. Suites provided a nice kitchenette with full cookware. Construction was going on but wasn't too bad. No place to buy groceries except for town 6 to 8 miles away.”

• Beautiful setting, great recreational facility.
• Late check-in was tricky due to poor lighting & signage along with road construction, however security personnel was very helpful.

“Nice quiet condominium facility in beautiful mountain setting.”

• The unit had a kitchen.
• It was not in the location I selected.

“Northstar at Tahoe is a group of dilapidated units far from the shores of Lake Tahoe and without views of the lake. The carpets were dingy, the bathroom was dirty and there was no maid service. There was zero possibility on any scale that the unit was worth 2.5 stars. ”
