If had known the Bluejay was so dirty and had long term Tennants, we would have stayed elsewhere. Expedia's ratings were overrated.

I planned a special trip to Tahoe to propose to my girlfriend and booked the Blue Jay Lodge because of the jacuzzi tub and how nice the room looked online. When we walked in, I noticed earplugs on both nightstands—didn’t think much of it at the time. Later that night, my girlfriend went to take a bath and found a hair stuck in the jet. I pulled it out—it looked like a pubic hair. Once the tub filled, there were hundreds of small hairs floating in the water, like someone had shaved in it. She immediately refused to get in. On top of that, only 3 of the 6 jets worked. That night, we were woken up at 5 a.m. by someone pacing in the room above us for an hour. Then came the barking from the dog next door. So now I knew why they provided earplugs. The mattress was also cheap and very uncomfortable. I contacted the office and explained everything—the dirty tub, barking dogs, loud upstairs neighbors, and poor-quality bed. After checking with the manager, Rob, they allowed me to cancel the next two nights, but refused to refund the first, even though we couldn’t use the tub we paid for. I was told Rob wouldn’t budge and that I should “take what I can get.” So thanks, Rob, for ruining what was supposed to be a memorable weekend. I wished i took more pictures but was only able to take 2.

It’s a cute little place! Well updated and accommodating! The bed was a bit softer than my back can stand but otherwise it was a great stay! The location is super convenient and parking was easy. My children enjoyed the pool greatly and I appreciated the contactless check in.

Noisy but good

The staff were wonderful! The room was spacious and clean. It was also well-equipped and comfortable. The room was dog friendly and had no animal smell, which is a plus. I would have given a 4.5 (9) if it were an option, but it isn't. The only negative was the noise. We had a downstairs room, and it sounded like there was literal construction going on above us from the early morning until evening. Otherwise, it was great, and I'd stay again but in an upstairs room ideally.

Thin walls and not super clean, beds are lumpy. Parking is hard with a big truck, and they want you to clean up after your stay.

OVERALL OK STAY WONT COME BACK

The price was amazing and the front desk is attentive. But there is a LONG list of to do you must take out your trash, put towels in bathtub that are used, etc etc. . The low price isnt worth poor maid service. If the maid doesnt like cleaning dont own a hotel. The pillows are hard too. Overall OK. Will not use them again.

This property is contactless check in/checkout which was very convenient for us. They had a number you could text for any concerns which was very useful. The room was clean and pretty modern. Very walkable to casinos and shops! The only issues we had were the wifi was not working and our room TV did not work, which were not a huge deal for us. I would stay here again!
