“Blue Jay Lodge strikes me as a practical choice in South Lake Tahoe, particularly given its prime location and the Lakeside Beach deal. While some may find the rooms simple, I appreciate the inclusion of thoughtful extras like toiletries and earplugs. Laundry facilities and prompt service further enhance its appeal for budget-conscious travelers.”
