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.
