2/10 Poor

Terrible Experience
I recently stayed at North Star Resort, and my experience was deeply disappointing. From the moment I arrived, it was clear things were not as expected. The resort was surrounded by loud road construction, which made it difficult to get around and impossible to enjoy any peace. I had hoped for a quiet, relaxing escape, but instead, I was greeted by constant noise and disruption. When I entered the lodging building, the common areas were in disarray. The flooring had been ripped out, leaving nails and debris everywhere. It felt unsafe and far from welcoming. Worse, when I asked the staff at reception about it, they seemed just as surprised as I was. There was no communication or warning about this construction, which made the situation even more frustrating. In my studio, though the flooring was intact, construction materials were left under the furniture, making the room feel incomplete. It was far from the comfortable, relaxing space I had envisioned. The final blow came the next morning when workers began sanding walls and floors right outside my room, filling the air with dust. I suffered an intense allergic reaction that I’m still recovering from. Although I was eventually moved to another room, the damage was already done. I left North Star more stressed than when I arrived. The disorganization, lack of communication, and constant disruption made this an awful experience. I cannot recommend this resort to anyone seeking relaxation or comfort.

8/10 Very Good

Great staff & Property!
First impression was guest parking and that was a struggle. We arrived late (11pm). Check in was smooth and staff was excellent! He instructed us to search for a space marked in green, which we could not find. We contacted the safety patrol person and he found us a place to park in the main parking area, which we did not know about. When we finally made it to the second floor of the Timber Creek Lodge, we noticed the carpet was terribly stained. As a ski resort, we recognize that it is almost impossible to keep it looking clean. Finally, we were surprised by the extra $10 fee to use the recreation area, as we already paid a resort fee. The pool and hot tubs were listed as an amenity but there was no mention of an additional fee. Otherwise, I would consider returning to the resort. The property was lovely and overall clean and comfortable.

Great spot, service is a let down
Rooms have no air conditioning. The patio door and screen were left open prior to our check in, the thermostat was registering 92degrees in the room. Mini swamp cooler was not functioning. After 3 attempts, was able to contact customer service. They brought 2 additional fans. Achieved a decent temp by 11:00pm thanks to Mother Nature. We paid a 77 dollar resort fee, only to find out that to use the pool and facilities was an additional 10$ per guest. When requesting a late check out of 12:00pm (which was stated was an option included in the resort fee) we were told no. Those things aside, location is great. Very cool view over the village. I would say this would be a much better stay during the winter.

Great condo. The day pass for the pool, gym, and other recreation was phenomenal. We went during the off season. While it was great there was no crowd, on the flip slide most establishments for food and entertainment were closed. That's not a reflection of the property, but more about the season. Great property and staff!

Glad we weren't in the room very much.
Bathtub door would not open properly. Had to side step next to toilet. Track very dirty and part of the reason it wouldn't open. Internet would not stay on, even after rebooting numerous times. No way to clean coffee mugs/glasses for reuse. Bring your own soap.

Nothing Like The Description
About 30 minutes before our check in time, I received an email with check in instructions. On the email, it also mentioned for use of amenities, there’s an extra charge of $10 per person, per day. This includes pool area and gym. When I was looking for a hotel, the description said it had a pool and gym, but didn’t mention we’d have to pay an extra fee, so that was a disappointment already. We get to our room and we unpack all of our belongings, including our groceries we just purchased only to notice the unit doesn’t have an AC, the huge sliding door in the living room didn’t have a curtain, and also didn’t lock, and the dryer wasn’t working. Which being in Tahoe, we need a dryer due to being at the lake daily. We called the front office and said they would be able to assist us in the morning. They offered us two units to look at, which one didn’t have AC and it smelled horrible. The one we chose, still didn’t have AC, but there was a curtain and doors locked at least. We had to re-pack from the night before and move to the new unit. The next day, we noticed the fridge wasn’t working which caused our food to go bad and had to buy more daily. The overall resort area is not kept up and it looks almost abandoned. We were very unsatisfied with our stay here and spent a lot of money due to groceries having to be thrown out. The description says the amenities are included, and they aren’t. It also says they have AC, which the units don’t. We will never stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Went for one night and it was not comfortable for me and my guests to say the least. There was no direction as to how to handle hot weather as we were not made aware of the no A/C in the property. The homeowner and property need to know the summers are getting really hot and make guests aware of this and be prepared with portable units and additional fans. We had 5 children with us and the temperature was 86 degrees at 930 pm. That was completely unacceptable and made our stay unenjoyable as we were only there for the night. Luckily the maintenance was able to bring out extra fans but this did not get resolved until 1030 pm. A refund or another accommodation for a later date should be in order as we are really upset about this experience.
