We stayed at the Basecamp Hotel for two weekend nights on a Living Social Voucher. We chose the Basecamp because of the voucher and the high rating on TA.com. We were not as impressed as other posts on TA.com. On the plus side, we liked: the service (very good and friendly); location; rooms were clean, modern and comfortable; great bed;... More

Had an awesome time at basecamp on our honeymoon. Everyone seemed genuinely happy that we were there, and everyone wanted to make sure we didn't miss anything awesome. They had great advice for us as far as what to do in the area. They seemed to have suggestions for everyone from family outings to more challenging adventures. The location is... More

This review is actually a little difficult for me to write. I arrived at Basecamp Hotel with great anticipation given the excellent reviews on tripadvisor. Using what turned out to be a wildly popular Living Social deal, I always try to temper my review knowing I have been lucky to stay someplace for a great price. Basecamp was definitely packed...

I have stayed here twice - both for business. Staff is excellent with the guests. The morning breakfast (coffee, tea, juice, pastry, granola) is a great feature and a great opportunity to chat with other guests. I have stayed in a balcony room both times (great for sitting with your morning coffee or evening beer). The rooms are neat, very... More

We actually decided to go to South Lake Tahoe to specifically stay at Basecamp. With our experiences staying at hostels in other countries, we were eager to see how this place compared. We were thrilled. There are different options for staying such as kings/pets/dorm style/bunk beds etc. All are styled with awesome "outdoorsy" artwork. The cozy feel of the lounge... More

Basecamp is a fabulous hotel! Set amid South Tahoe-Tahoeness, this hotel offers a respite with clean, modern design, warm accommodating staff, incredibly comfy beds, broad balconies, with a healthy, locally/produced breakfast. A knowledgeable front desk can direct you to a world class hike, ski, beach, cycle route or view. It is, as the name suggests, base camp. But it is... More

Stayed here recently for one night. Hotel/motel has well designed public areas that are welcoming. Quirky/cool use of color/textiles in rooms. Bathroom has terrific shower. Rooms are very clean with comfortable beds. Walls are very thin, though, and for me that's an issue that would prevent me from returning. Continental breakfast is included in the rate (bagels, cereals, muffins, coffee,... More

Stayed here two nights in mid-May as part of a week-long trip through Northern California. Great location. Super clean rooms. Good, competitive rates. The staff were super friendly and clearly take pride in working for a fun and unique establishment. This place has a great vibe so you'll likely meet fun-loving people either in the hot tub, sipping wine on... More

During a West Coast Tour we stayed for 3 nights at the Basecamp Hotel and we loved it. It was special, superfriendly and modern. Even a Hut Tub existed. Breakfast was great with FRESH Orange juice!!! We did not have that even in 5Star Hotels on our trip. Rooms were lovely and the whole Basecamp style was totally ours! We... More
