- Nice outdoor heated swimming pool and two-tiered hot tub
- Cozy lobby with billiards table and serve yourself coffee
- Relaxing, big two-story spa
- Free Wi-Fi and parking
- Pet-friendly
Cons

Bottom Line
The 62-room 3 Peaks Resort and Beach Club is a three-pearl property with a convenient Lake Tahoe location. Some guests find the lobby's dog theme and pet-friendly policy off-putting, while others book their stay solely based on their pooch. Rooms resemble cozy log cabins; some are renovated with contemporary details while others are dated with tube TVs and patterned bedspreads (book one with a fireplace and balcony for extra ambiance). There is a heated outdoor pool, two-tiered hot tub, and big spa, but the lack of a restaurant or bar isn't ideal. Guests get free access to the beach and Heavenly Village is within walking distance. The Sierra Mountain views and scent of pine trees make this spot a better than average mid-range property.

Scene
Two-story motel style hotel with a dog-themed lobby
3 Peaks Resort and Beach Club has a dog-themed lobby. A welcome mat features a St. Bernard wearing shorts and collapsible dog bowls are for sale at the wooden reception desk. Cozy touches like a fireplace and billiards table make the lobby a nice spot to hang out -- as do pots of serve-yourself coffee in the morning. Rustic looking chair backs are made of birch wood. Outside, towering pine trees and views of the Sierra Mountains add a sense of place. The location draws younger groups of skiers and nature lovers (sometimes with their dogs in tow).
Location
Two blocks from Lake Tahoe
The location is the biggest draw for guests staying at 3 Peaks Resort and Beach Club -- prices are low for fast access to a nearby beach, Heavenly Village, and Heavenly Ski Resort. Directly next door to this property is the Station House Inn, while the public beach (hotel guests get free access) is just two blocks away. There are several restaurants, a grocery store, and coffee shop within walking distance. Ample parking is free.
Rooms
Cabin-inspired rooms, some more renovated than others
Rooms and suites at 3 Peaks Resort and Beach Club are spread out in separate two-story buildings without elevators. Most of them open to patios or balconies, which add natural light. Some rooms are renovated with flat-screen TVs and contemporary decor while others mimic a log cabin and have dated touches such as tube TVs and patterned bedpsreads. Full kitchens in some of the suites are a nice option for families. Fireplaces and spa bathtubs are available in some rooms -- there's an extra charge for firewood. Past guests have complained about lingering pet odors and thin walls. Noise from the street doesn't seem to be an issue.
Features
Spa, outdoor swimming pool, and free Wi-Fi (but no restaurant)
A two-story fully equipped spa is an excellent feature -- especially at this price point, though you'll pay extra for access and treatments. Outside, there's a heated swimming pool and two-tiered hot tub. One computer is available in the lobby for guests to use; Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. It's disappointing that there isn't a restaurant or continental breakfast served on-site. Guests get free access to a nearby public beach.
