Hotels Near Olympic Valley Ropes Course in Placer County

I am not a complainer (look at my prior reviews for proof). But..... CONS: Odor-Halls/rooms have strong, sharp ODOR of mold/mildew (previous reviewers are correct). No exaggeration. DANGEROUS, especially for anyone with respiratory issues/young children. Front desk manager-truly rudest hotel employee I, or anyone in my family, have ever encountered. Ever Encountered. Like ever. No elevator for bags-zero offer of help from front desk, as they watched us. Really no big deal, however just a weird blasé employee attitude. Housekeeping-erratic, do not clean glassware, do not refill soap and we returned to our suite door unlocked & door AJAR. I kid you not. Dated-not rustic, just in disrepair, dank & smelly. Prior reviewers are correct. Keycards-we had to have them reprogrammed daily. Their explanation: “We know, just come back again tomorrow”. PROS: Location-especially if you are a skier/snowboarder. Really good restaurant-if you want only dinner Wed-Sun. No breakfast. Pool-small, but pretty. Parking-ample and free!

The Village at Palisades Tahoe is an excellent lodging location any time of year when visiting the iconic Lake Tahoe ski resort that hosted the 1960 Olympics. We had a one-bedroom condo for three nights in late early October 2021. We loved the condo and the gorgeous window view and private balcony overlooking the Village and the beautiful ski hill at Palisades Tahoe, formerly Squaw Valley. The Village at Palisades features five buildings that are all are centrally located. This is a terrific lodging location for pursuing any nearby activity – winter or summer. The Village has a friendly feel with seemingly something for all ages. Our room featured a kitchen with many of the amenities you find in your own kitchen at home. We had an oven for cooking, dishwasher, good counter space, silverware, knives, pots-pans, and a decent size refrigerator. It’s a great way to save money – eat at home! There was a nice, comfortable pullout couch that easily sleeps two people. The living room also had two chairs for additional living room seating and a centrally located TV that features a sizable selection of channels. Our bedroom, while not spacious, had decent closet space and an area to hang up and store folded clothes. The queen bed was comfortable and the room came with a mounted TV on the wall with lots of channel options. Other sleeping accommodations were perfect for kids. There was a bunk bed in the far side of the living room that could sleep 2-3 kids. The living room also had a comfortable pullout couch, two chairs, gas fireplace, and enough room for an entire family to lounge around during the evenings. There were conveniently two bathrooms, one of them with a separate small shower that was next to a tub-shower – both located just outside the bedroom, Each bathroom was stocked with everything one needs – shampoo, conditioner, soap, ect. We had a clean room that was serviced by some very attentive cleaning personnel. The condo buildings feature multiple hot tubs and a sauna that heats up pretty well. The hot tubs are a favorite of families, especially in the afternoon and early evening in ski season. There are multiple restaurants in the Village, all with a different focus, including an Irish pub – Auld Dubliner. It has a wonderful happy hour, typically a lively evening crowd, and has friendly bartenders and staff. For folks who love to browse or buy, the Village features some high-end shops, several ski-oriented locations, and other shops that are appealing to men, women and kids. An ice cream location, a Starbucks and another location – Coffeebar (that seems to be a favorite of locals) – are popular places to congregate. There are additional shops and restaurants closer to the famed Olympic ski hill. It’s very convenient, not a ton of walking to get to one of the lower-level base ski lifts or hopping on the Funitel for a scenic journey up the hill. The Village at Palisades Tahoe is the type of place where you park the car once you get there and th

Very good hotel! A few minutes drive away from the ski resort, the children had a lot of fun! The hotel itself has a beautiful environment and complete facilities. The service is also great! The hotel has Starbucks, various small shops, and ski equipment rental. The hotel itself also has cable cars and slides, which is very convenient. The standard room we booked does not have a kitchenette, and the suite has a kitchenette, which is more suitable for family travel

Visited the hotel between Sept 17-18. The location is wonderful, along with the provided amenities. Josh at the front desk helped us check in smoothly and provided excellent service during our stay. Josh went above and beyond what would normally be expected from your typical guest services and did a fantastic job accommodating our requests. Would recommend a trip out to the Granlibakken if you ever get a chance.

Great deal! Prime location with views of the lake. Friendly service and room has everything you need. Everything worked. Honestly, a steal. Check-in was smooth. Room was ready. Text/email reminders about check-out (don't need to physically do). Just leave keys in room and leave.

We stayed here one night with another couple and were underwhelmed. For what you got it was very expensive, but I get theme they were going for...but fell short. Average motel type room but everything in the room worked. It was also very clean with one exception...the carpet! I was afraid to walk in my bare feet! The place was very non-responsive in communications before and after our stay...very hard to reach. The lady at the reception desk was very nice and helpful.

We really needed a getaway after a recent loss. We were looking forward to our lakefront view as shown in the extremely limited property photos. Our small queen suite was exactly that. Small, quirky and not really lakefront. We overlooked a parking lot and small marina and boat rental and were jot directly over the water as pictured online. The room had ridiculous angles and really felt like one room with a diagonal wall divide to make it a suite. The space to walk through to get into the bathroom was only 24” wide between the quirky wall (which I walked into in the dark) and dresser. We made it work for our four nights. The sofa was comfortable. The bed had a good mattress but too fluffy pillows and slightly rough bedding. I had to use my clothing as a pillow. The maid service did not check shower soaps and the refrigerator was too small and smelly. Lastly, the breakfast offered enough when it was stocked, which was not consistent. One of the staff was rude to me about the hot water actually being coffee and did not apologize when it was true. Other staff came by to take food that was behind the counter for themselves, and did not restock food for the guests, leaving empty trays. Afternoon beverages were good, but the smoke from the fireplace below rose up and made it difficult to stay in the area. Something about the cookies was not quite right and after one we avoided them.
