The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

Affordable Comfort Steps from Tahoe’s Music and Casino Scene

Modern convenience meets mountain charm at the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites in South Lake Tahoe. Just a 5-minute walk from the stunning Lake Tahoe shoreline and nestled near Heavenly Mountain, this no-frills hotel offers a practical, budget-friendly base for music lovers and adventurers alike. Rooms are simple but equipped with free WiFi, a refrigerator, and cable TV, giving you all the essentials you need without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Heavenly Village, Horizon Casino, Montbleu Casino, and Harveys Casino all within a 15-minute walk, you’re never far from live music, nightlife, and entertainment. After a show, you can stroll back without worrying about rideshares or late-night transport. The hotel’s quiet atmosphere and cozy rooms also offer a peaceful retreat for post-gig wind-downs. Plus, with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s just enough flexibility for weekend stays.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a wallet-friendly home base near the action
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples enjoying a concert and mountain getaway
  • Fans who prefer a quiet space to recharge after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting location without the high price tag

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is within easy walking distance of numerous casual eateries, diners, and late-night bites in Heavenly Village. You’ll find options for breakfast after a late night, and nearby spots offering everything from burgers to craft cocktails. There’s no room service, but the in-room refrigerator is handy for leftovers and snacks.

Nightlife Options

You’re in prime position for South Lake Tahoe’s nightlife. Step out to find live music in local casinos, bars with DJs and dancing, and cozy lounges for a more chill après-concert vibe. If you prefer a nightcap close to home, there are mellow taverns just a few blocks away.

What People Say

Travelers love the unbeatable location near the lake, casinos, and concert venues. Many praise the value for money, especially when compared to neighboring hotels. Guests often note the rooms are clean and quiet, making it a solid choice for those who just need a place to crash after a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor and furnishings are a bit dated—think more “classic motel” than modern boutique. While there’s no breakfast on-site, the proximity to cafes and diners helps make up for it. And while it's a simple stay, that's part of the charm for concert-goers focused more on the music than the thread count.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to South Lake Tahoe for a concert and want a clean, affordable place close to the action, Econo Lodge Inn & Suites hits the right note.

Poor - 1.5 out of 5

Not worth the amount charged....

Liked: Location
Disliked: Old tired building. Rooms are aged and minimally updated. Room and shower was extremely small. Tiles on floor are cracked and dirty. Outdoor stairs and railings badly needed sandblasting and painting. Could clearly hear the conversation in the adjacent room Essentially it is in very poor shape for the price.

Location was great but I...

Liked: The location was perfect. Close to everything.
Disliked: I didn't like the fact that streaming apps are displayed on the tv but you can't use them. As told by the front desk agent when I called. He said they're only responsible for cable channels. I called another time because we couldn't figure out how to turn on the tv at first and the agent told us that the remote died. I asked where the charging base was located in the room and he told me I had to have the charging cable myself, if not, I could take it to the lobby and he could charge it. Very cheap pillows.
