Cedar Inn & Suites

Budget-Friendly Comfort Just Steps from Tahoe's Entertainment Scene

Modern convenience meets mountain charm at Cedar Inn & Suites, a laid-back hotel located right on the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe. This no-frills spot is just a 5-minute walk to the area's top casinos and music venues, offering a prime location for fans heading to a big night out. With spacious rooms, free WiFi, and in-room coffee, it’s a solid base for your concert-filled adventure.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than 10 minutes on foot from live shows at major venues like Harvey’s Outdoor Arena and the Heavenly Gondola area. That means no need for rideshares or traffic battles after the encore. Despite its central location, the atmosphere stays relatively quiet — perfect for winding down post-show. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, giving you time to settle in before evening events, and check-out at 11:00 AM lets you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to split a room and hit the casinos after the show.
Solo travelers catching a must-see artist in Tahoe.
Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend retreat.
Fans wanting a quiet space to recharge after loud nights.
Budget-conscious music lovers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave and mini-fridge for late-night snacks or leftovers. You’re only a short walk from plenty of dining options on Lake Tahoe Boulevard, with restaurants serving everything from burgers to upscale bites. Early or late, you won't go hungry.

Nightlife Options

Cedar Inn & Suites is in the heart of South Lake Tahoe’s nightlife zone. Walk just minutes to casinos with bars, live DJs, and lounges. Whether you're in the mood for dancing or sipping cocktails by the slots, you're in the right spot. Prefer something low-key? Plenty of cozy pubs and wine bars are nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location — close to music venues, dining, and the lake. Reviewers often praise the cleanliness of the rooms and the helpful front desk staff. Many mention it as a great value for the price, especially given how walkable the area is.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are simple and a bit dated, but they're clean and functional. If you're looking for luxury, this isn't it — but if you're here for the concerts and not the curtains, you’ll be just fine. Some guests note that parking can be tight when the area is busy.

The Bottom Line

Cedar Inn & Suites is a top pick for concert-goers wanting an affordable, walkable stay near South Lake Tahoe’s biggest venues and nightlife.
