    Iconic Tahoe but food and common areas and menu need attention

    Really awful food at the restaurant for dinner. We have been coming to Sunnyside for decades. We LOVE dining on the deck. The food has always been wonderful in the past. This time the food was underwhelming and almost inedible. Caesar salad was an abomination. Tiny limp and sad. The fish and chips awful. May never have dinner again on that deck. Seriously a big turnoff for what was supposed to be a special nostalgic occasion. The carpet in the common areas - lobby/bar- is filthy. Needs TLC or replacement.

    The lake views are a classic. Sunset cocktails sublime. Iconic Tahoe. Beds, linens, bathroom all top notch. Enjoyed our stay in the lodge and the staff was stellar!! Felt warmly welcomed.

    I requested a non-adjoining room when booking but, to our disappointment, we got an adjoining one. Naturally we heard our neighbour but only briefly and not too disturbing. Our air conditioner unit was just too noisy to use of a night. It was a free standing unit and was probably installed as the ducted air con did not work. We've had noisy units before but this one was next level. Hopefully the situation will be addressed asap. Apart from that we were very satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend the hotel to others.

    All of the staff were exceptional. Friendly, courteous and helpful. The restaurant was superb. Excellent menu and wonderful food. The outlook could not be surpassed. Relaxing in front of the huge wood fire of an evening was a bonus. Thanks to Maureen, (probably incorrect spelling), she was a trooper. She never seemed to relax. Always on the job. She, Lisa and Joe should all be congratulated for their dedication to making sure their guests were comfortable.

    There's nothing we don't like except for when we have to leave!

    We love our stays at Sunnyside! We had room 20, king partial lake view with fireplace. Its the top corner room and its more spacious than the other king partial lake views. We had three adult females in the room and it didnt feel cramped. The nespresso machine in the room is a really great touch and much appreciated. I live for the breakfast in the morning simply because we can sit out on the deck before the crowds and really enjoy the lake views. Oh and the welcome glass of champagne really starts our stay out on the right foot! Everyone at the lodge is very friendly and welcoming. We feel like we are at home when we stay!

    The only thing that can improve is the continental breakfast. They need to add hot meals like scrambled eggs, bacon, fruits etc.

    The resort was exceptional. Location and the view were awwone. Joseph the guest person in the morning was wondeerfull! He gave us some great tips on restaurants and sites to visit.

    1) Front desk did not insure keys were working. We walked up to the room and had to return to the front desk to get the keys correct. 2) We walked into the non-crowded bar area and set up in seats near the fireplace and looked at menus staged there to decide on some drinks. We were there for several minutes and noone approached us to take our order. I walked up to the bar, that had no patrons sitting, and waited for the bartender who passed in front of me 2-3 times before acknowledging my presence. I asked to place an order and was told by the bartender to go back to my seats and someone would take my order. Several more minutes passed before a server came and took our order. Drinks came quickly and were made very well.

    Breakfast was amazing. Location and views are amazing.

    The parking lot is a little small so if you arrive during peak hours for the bar or restaurant, you may have to walk a bit. The bar can be a little noisy, but it doesn't stay open too late.

    Beautiful location right on Lake Tahoe. The room was nicely updated, with a balcony overlooking the lake, and the free breakfast was a nice perk. The bar is a fun place to have a drink and look at the lake, and the patio would be great in the summer. We would definitely stay here again.

    Some rooms are right over the bar and restaurant area, which can be a little noisy in the evening. The noise seemed to quiet down at a reasonable time so it wasn't an issue for sleeping.

    Beautiful location right on Lake Tahoe, and close to activities (skiing, hiking, the lake), restaurant and shops. Some rooms have views right out over the lake, as does the restaurant. In the summer, they have outdoor lakefront dining. The staff was super friendly and helpful with local recommendations. We would definitely stay again.
