Great for the price!
The room was great, clean and stocked with what you would expect. My only issue was the shower only had cloth shower curtains and there was no door to separate the room from the bathroom. I like to keep the room cool, therefor the bathroom was always chilly and the water temp in the shower was not very hot. Otherwise great option for someone looking to stay in north lake for under $800 a night and have access to a small casino.

Bathroom Door
It was great and the people are very nice. There is no door in the bathroom though!! It was a curtain. How can you not have a bathroom door?!!
The bathtub was wonderful though.

The rooms are a good size and the location is great. But I was unimpressed with the service. The staff seemed totally disinterested in being helpful or friendly.

Crystal Bay and the Cal-Neva are under-resourced. Couldn’t even find a place to grab a cup of coffee in the morning. Had to drive a bit into very crowded Kings Beach.

The bed was really uncomfortable, very hard the carpet looks old and outdated. The vanity fell apart when I tried to open a drawer…the tub was not a jacuzzi tub and sits extremely high…not very easy to get in and out. Staff was very nice… rooms need updating…beds need to be replaced. It was very conveniently located for the concert and work the following day. Price was very high for how outdated rooms were:(

No hotel front desk. Had to walk thru casino to “players club” desk. Got locked out morning of checkout after being told we could checkout an hour later at noon. Had to walk thru smelly casino in a wet swimsuit after kayaking to be let back in to our room to gather our stuff to check out. Wi-Fi was awful. Casino is a good walk from hotel. They need a front desk — a real one.

Loved the big tub with JETS, the bed and pillows.
Expensive for what it was, but no complaints.

The room was spacious and nice. You have to check in inside the casino, which we didn't know. My only complaint was gaving to walk to the casino to get ice and the knob on the shower was very hard to turn. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

It is just ok
It’s a cute, funky little hotel. The staff was very nice, our tv didn’t work but they did send someone up to fix it. Our only disappointment was that when my husband went to the casino/bar to get a coffee and Baileys, they didn’t open until 9;00 am, it’s not your typical casino! But all and all it was fine. Definitely not a 4-5 star
