My fiance & I selected this hotel due to the proximity to Squaw and Alpine meadow ski ressort. (about 5-10 min drive). We wanted to travel on a cheap budget whitout sacrifying comfort. +Hotel Location: Very well located: accross from a ski shop - so that you can have your skis waxed overnight ($20) or rent a whole ski equipment including cloths if you wish! In addition; you can walk to Safeway grocery store if you wish to enjoy the microwave + bar/fridge supplied in the room. Finally, we had the most beautifull lake/sunset view from our balcony. +Free Internet Connection: great high speed internet connection. We had 2 computers and had no problem at all --unlike a different hotel we had in SouthLake Tahoe where their connection was too slow to do anything... The Pepper Tree Inn had a GREAT internet connection! +Hotel Room: bed was comfortable. Our room was clean and the washroom had been upgraded (I assume) as the floor were slate and counter top granit-coriander. The room wasn't big but just enough for our stay. The only negative point was that there was no bath tub... This said for extra you could get one while lack of tub is very common in the area! +Room Termperature: the heat control was great and the location allowed us to dry our ski boots easily overnight. +Free Breakfast: it was great as I like healthy breakfast (boiled eggs, bagel and yogourt). Sweether tooth could fillup with selection of cereals, french toast, bite muffin, juice, coffee and apples. I was glad they didn't offer only donuts type breakfast! This was a great hotel with accomodating personel (they had discounted ticket for Alpine at the time). It is a small hotel but I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Pepper Tree Inn for this great stay!
