The Spotlight on Hotel Elevation

Chill Basecamp in South Lake Tahoe for Music and Mountain Vibes

Modern yet unfussy, Hotel Elevation sits just steps from El Dorado Beach and is a great home base for anyone catching a concert in South Lake Tahoe. With a relaxed vibe, free WiFi, and free parking, it's a solid pick for travelers who want to stay close to the lake and within easy reach of both outdoor adventures and live music venues.

The hotel is a short drive from Lakeside Beach and the Tahoe Queen marina, and less than 10 minutes from most major South Lake Tahoe music venues. Guests love the simple comforts, friendly staff, and prime location near the action but away from the crowds.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate Hotel Elevation's location—just a few blocks from popular venues and the lakefront. It’s far enough from the nightlife to enjoy a quieter night’s sleep, but close enough for a quick Uber or walk back after the show. With 24-hour front desk service and flexible check-in starting at 4:00 PM, arriving late after a road trip or early show isn’t a problem. Free parking is also a major bonus for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a simple base between shows and outdoor outings
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert stop
  • Couples making it a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking to save for tickets and merch

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, guests are within walking distance of local eateries and coffee shops along Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Late-night cravings? Nearby spots stay open late, and delivery options are available. Morning after recovery is easy with plenty of casual breakfast and brunch spots just a few minutes away.

Nightlife Options

Hotel Elevation is near South Lake Tahoe’s nightlife, with bars, clubs, and lounges just a short drive or walk away. Whether you're into live music, DJs, or casual drinks by the lake, you'll find somewhere to wind down (or keep the party going) nearby. No on-site bar, but the proximity to the strip makes up for it.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the hotel’s excellent location, friendly staff, and clean, simple rooms. Reviewers mention how easy it is to get to concerts, the lake, and local restaurants. The free parking and WiFi are big wins, especially for those traveling in groups or solo.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re all about luxury, this might not be the spot—it’s more of a minimalist, no-frills stay. Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit dated and the soundproofing could be better, but overall it delivers solid value for the price.

The Bottom Line

If you want an affordable, well-located stay with easy access to South Lake Tahoe's music scene and outdoor attractions, Hotel Elevation hits the right note.

Great location, old/outdated/ugly motel, but...

Liked: Great location. Comfy bed!
Disliked: Room reeked of very strong cleaning chemicals. Cigarette butts all over the parking lot. Broken bedside lamp. Throw up residue in the carpet of my room. The hotel collected a $75 pet fee from me ($25/night) however it's clear they don't actually care about keeping the carpets clean. If you're going to charge an extra fee, maybe you could actually clean the carpets?

Living with dinosaurs.

Liked: Staff. Excellent attitude.
Disliked: The building is so old, it seems it saw dinosaurs. It's not a HOTEL, it's not even a MOTEL. It's a barn, that needs to be demolished and something decent needs to be built in its place. Walls patched, ceiling cracked, dusty, moldy, refrigerator is unstable, its missing one support. There is a gum on one of the drawers. Mold in the shower. Etc., etc., etc.

Do yourself a favorite and...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Badly in need of major repairs from the outside, painting and major repairs to concrete, uneven walkways hidden with stained carpetting Questioned the integrity of upper storried walkways. First room we were assigned nothing like photos, peeling paint, stained carpets, bathroom shower a terrible looking cubicle, bedding wrinkled, hair on sheets. Definitely no more than 5 stars.
