The Spotlight on Elevation Lodge

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Tahoe's Live Music Scene

Modern and no-frills, Elevation Lodge is a budget-friendly hotel in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Just a short ride from popular beaches and within easy reach of local concert venues, this 2-star stay offers clean, air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi—perfect for concert-goers needing a comfortable base that won’t break the bank.
Whether you're planning a weekend festival run or catching a single big show, this lodge keeps you close to the action without the downtown price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the music here. With easy access to venues like the Tahoe Blue Event Center and local nightlife along Lake Tahoe Boulevard, getting to and from shows is simple—especially appealing after a late-night encore. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere post-concert, along with flexible check-in from 4:00 PM and a smooth check-out by 11:00 AM. Plus, free Wi-Fi means you can stream the setlist again before bed.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a budget-friendly stay
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples seeking a low-key weekend near the lake
  • Fans who want a quiet space to unwind post-show
  • Budget-conscious music fans wanting value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

While Elevation Lodge doesn’t offer on-site dining, its central location means you’re within walking distance of several eateries along Lake Tahoe Boulevard. You’ll find everything from late-night pizza to cozy cafés for a late breakfast after a night out. Although no 24/7 room service is available, nearby convenience stores make snack runs easy.

Nightlife Options

South Lake Tahoe’s buzzing nightlife is just around the corner. From live music bars to lakeside lounges, you’ll have no trouble keeping the party going after the main event. If you’re after a chill drink, several craft beer spots and cocktail bars are just a short Uber or walk away.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the lodge’s cleanliness, affordability, and friendly staff. Guests love the convenience of the location—close enough to walk to beaches and venues, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Many note that it's a great value for the price, especially in busy concert seasons.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer luxury amenities or on-site dining, and rooms may feel basic if you're used to upscale stays. Some guests mention that parking can be limited during peak weekends—plan ahead if you're driving in. But for the price, most agree it’s a solid deal.

The Bottom Line

Elevation Lodge is a smart pick for concert-goers who want a budget-friendly, comfortable stay close to Lake Tahoe’s venues and nightlife.

I should have stayed somewhere...

Liked: The location, and the fact that I was put in the back of the property away from the noisy road.
Disliked: Little curb appeal. Especially with the pool being filled in with wood chips, the bent fence and crumbling concrete, and dogs using it for relief. It was a Days Inn and it still feels like a Days Inn. Smelly room, noisy air conditioner and one can never take a shower without being scalled and frozen within 10 seconds.

Passable

Liked: Location and staff were great! The beds were comfortable. The suite was very spacious.
Disliked: The sheets and towels were stained. The curtains were very dirty. The bathroom had a lot of mildew and stains. It's an older place so we expected it to need some work. But it should still be clean. They did not have enough towels available.

Bad

Liked: The parking was very convenient in front of the rooms and the room was nice
Disliked: The service was horrible, this guy in the front desk was very rude and it seems that he didn't want to be there, we asked twice for new towels and also for our room to be cleaned and the housekeeper came the last day when we where about to check out and we had a bunch of trash and dirty towels.Also, there was a group of workers staying in the room next to ours, and they were drinking and being very loud until very late night, no one came to remained them it was quiet time until we asked reception by phone call around 12:30 am.The service was the worst.

Just alright.

Liked: Honestly it was just an okay stay. A room and bed to sleep on. Mini fridge was a huge plus. The location was in a central area, close to everything at walking distance. They are dog friendly!
Disliked: The AC was not working properly. It got a little too hot at times. There was a loud pitch sound that would come on and off, driving us crazy at times. The bed's edges were totally broken in, the queen mattress felt like a twin.
