Cal Neva Resort - Crystal Bay

Every room has spectacular views of the lake. Great, inexpensive hotel for some relaxation!

The hotel is close to Lake Tahoe ski resorts with pretty nice view of Lake Tahoe. The lobby and main building look and feel old and really need remodelling as other reviews have said. The AC in the room is controlled outside ambient temperature, and turning on the AC even on Low/Cool made the room super hot. Had to request and was given a different […] room since the first one felt like a oven. Had to turn off AC at night. The worst part, I got bitten by bed bugs in this hotel, on my face, neck and forearm!!! Mehr

The staff was very friendly and the hotel was in a great location. The hotel itself needs some upkeep. I was originally given the wrong room and they were very quick to resolve the error. Once I moved to the new room, I found that the light was burnt out but maintenance came quickly and changed the bulb.. The room itself was large, clean and had a breathtaking […] view of the lake. The rooms do not come with fridges so I had to rent one at 10.00 a night. Later in the night my roof started leaking from above the window. I just placed a garbage can under it to catch the water. The next evening i came back to room after snowboarding to find my food in the fridge had gone bad as the fridge did not work and Iost my food. Staff was very nice to refund me for the fridge. Overall I liked the room and hotel but it is in desperate need of some maintenance and upgrades. Mehr

The Cal Neva casino and Resort was very calming. We stayed in an Executive Lakeview room. Our room was very clean with a beautiful view of the lake. The maid service was very friendly and so was the staff.I say our stay was very calming because not to much going on there. As far as a casino there really isnt one, only a hand full of gaming slots.This […] hotel has alot of history has far as the Rat Pack. I would recommend Cal Neva to other people. Mehr

Many reviews of this hotel say it's dated, yes maybe but in a quaint way. The rooms were spotless, many clean towels, and the views of the lake could not be beat!!!! If you Glitz, don't stay here, but if you want clean, cheap and a great location, this is it...

Pros: - Good price - Close to Ski Resorts and Lake Tahoe - Arcane Games Cons: - The heater cannot be regulated.

Dirty room. Never clean bedding, floor. Almost no service. Don't speak to an old lady and a tall guy in front desk. They don't offer good service. Never come back again. never never

Kind of dirty inside room. Shower curtain and room wall was defiantly dirty; however, the bed and bedding was clean. Its a good location for those that just need a place to sleep.

I really enjoyed my room and stay at this location. Until, a manager came to my room, knocked and told me we had to leave and were out checkout time. I felt he was thowing us out. What was wrong with this action was I had reservations for two nights, and this was the 2nd stay. My room was already paid for and confirmed. I then went directly to the front […] desk, having informing that manager of my two night reservation, as was confirm the matter was corrected. Until that night I got another call from the front desk informing that my room had not been paid for and that I needed to pay for another night. I went down to the front desk at 11pm, and the front desk associate said she found my reservation, that that day time manager who had came to throw us out, did not update our reservation information. That same front desk assoicate was there at the desk when the manager had said he corrected their error, and that everything was ok. But, I still got another call to vacate or pay. Very frustrating. But the hotel was still a nice plae to stay. Be careful I enter the address in my GPS, and the hotel was still another 2 miles up the road, on Stateline Road. If you think you are lost just keep driving north. Mehr

The lake views from your room are breathtaking. The rooms and hotel are a bit dated with needed maintenance but always clean. I would rather they keep it this way with the low rates. A nicer hotel with these views would be so much pricier.

The cal neva Resort Hotel casino is located is a stoning place has nice view of the lake and a friendly staff. the rooms are dated but comfortable. My experience was not the best due to a hollowing party that was programed on the second day I stayed there. there was a lot of movement in the corridors. my wife could not sleep. The hotel management should […] take into account their events, in order to locate guests accordingly, we did not come to the hotel for the party but were located in the same floor as the saloon where the party was. we noticed that too late.

Nice quiet place to stay with clean rooms and nice location.

There's not much left to the casino here, just the center bar and a few slots. The view, however, remains spectacular. Back in the 50s this was quite the happening place, and there's plenty of memorobilia here to show that. Today, it's a lot slower. Our room seemed recently renovated. Younger types should likely look elsewhere, but for those who still […] appreciate the likes of Sinatra and Martin, you'll likely enjoy it. Mehr

I wondered why I got a clean room for 41 bucks... No gambling and the casino is bankrupt. It made for a great private experience, could not beat the price at all for a large clean room. It was dated, but who cares. Restaurant also had good food and great service...

This Hotel claimed to be kid friendly however the arcade was very small and extremely out dated and dirty. The gaming area had about 5 slot machines that were out of service. It's not a casino. More of a hotel. Beds were horribly uncomfortable. Would not stay there again.

This place is outdated and is not a traditional casino. Not a good value for the money. It is close to other casinos though and things to do. It is lake front and has a gorgeous view.

CalNeva had it's prime during the era of the Rat Pack. Rooms are dated with old furniture, TV and no internet. Availability of air conditioning and heat is dependant on the outside air temperature. The view of the lake was worth the degraded condition of the hotel. Gaming is restricted to electronic machines and the Round bar toted in advertising is […] just a "Bar". Gambling can be done up the street at the other casinos. Mehr

Very hard to find, especially if arriving at night. Did not give us our king bed, instead gave us two full size beds because of availability issues. Paid $70 for a 2 entree dinner, $20 for fries and buffalo wings as a snack from their restaurant (food was pretty good, but not worth the money). Also had to wait 40 minutes each time (even for the snacks!) Staff […] was very stern and non-friendly. Overall very expensive place......and they aren't even a casino! No table games, only slot machines! Don't waste your time. Mehr

We were staying there to attend a wedding down the road. Room dated, but very clean and bathroom was spotless. Lobby smells like disenfectant, and looks more like a rec room, certainly not a casino. For a quick nite stay, it served its purpose and the price was right.

The place is really dated. The bed/pillows are supremly uncomfortable....but were clean. The hallways are dingy and gross. The carpet is aqua but the glass ceiling adds a special touch of class. To be fair most of the hotels are dated in north shore, if you can't get into a resort...and this is your last resort....stay home.

The Cal Neva is a bit past her prime- looks tastefully shabby- but the folks are helpful, the location is primo. The rooms look dated but clean. And it's an excellent value.

What happened to the famous Cal Neva? this should be the jewel of North Shore. great location, lots of history but it was probably the worst hotel i have ever stayed at. The pool could be awesome but its not. there is the state line literally running right thru it which was cool but the water temp was even cooler, and the surface surrounding the pool […] was like walking on a gravel road. The hot tub is old and run down with a complicated entry system that is out dated. The surround bungalows attract a seedy crowd that are up all night. DO NOT STAY HERE. Stay across the street at the Biltmore! Mehr

Outdated and unclean

Our stay at your hotel was great, but you need to add a comfortable chair or lounger to watch TV or just to relax besides laying in bed. Our room had 2 chairs used for dining or do office work, but not comfortable to relax nor watch TV or a newspaper.

This old casino, once owned by Frank Sinatra, has definitely seen better days, but is still a nice place to stay. The pool is not heated and COLD. But it's right on the state line and fun to swim from California to Nevada. The room was fine, I had originally requested a king bed and they first put me in a room with two doubles but quickly switched to […] a king room when I asked. The room was clean, TV and wifi worked fine, but there were very few electrical outlets available for my computer. Furniture was kind of dated and chipped in a couple places, but the view of the lake was great. Circle bar was nice, and they offer a tour showing you some of the hidden tunnels underneath the hotel daily that was pretty interesting. Spa services also available although I didn't try them. The hot tub was nice but they had to send a guy downstairs to unlock it for me. Overall I was pretty happy here and would stay here again IF I could get another good rate on the room. Mehr

I've done alot of travelling..and for the $$ this place is not too bad. The bar and food were great.no live casino tables though. The rooms are (as per mine) very out dated. I had a 70s style tv in my room (but it did have a remote at least)..and outdated fixtures in the room. My biggest gripe is with the a/c. It calculates and runs off of the ambient […] temp from the outside. It has NO CONTROLS that can disseminate between the interior and exterior temps. I like to sleep in a really cool environment, and when i got back to my room from my daily ventures, the room was not cool..however as the night cooled down (into the 50s) my room cooled with it. Otherwise..the views are great..the parking areas are huge and well kept..and the "bang for the buck" is pretty good. I'd stay here again..just in cooler weather. Mehr

I had previously stayed here around 6 years ago, and really enjoyed it and the casino. Now, even after reserving a king sized bed room, we were given a room with 2 twins. I refused to take the room, and they offered a handicapped room with no toilet door. I refused. I finally received a pet suite, which was fine, and clean. The hotel is a disaster. […] The casino is gone. Total sham, a real tragedy. Don't stay here. Mehr

This hotel is dirty and out dated! The front desk charged our credit card for an additional night.

Pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the bed....but the room we had was on the main floor immediately inside from the casino and it was extremely noisy. Casino is almost non-existant. Resort is really nostalgic. Excellent for pricing. Would definitely stay here again.

staff was excellent, hotel is dated- room was large and comfortable, though old and in need of refurbishment. Only real problem was hall noise into room- very loud!

I had a wonderful time in Lake Tahoe. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Cal Neva is certainly a hotel with lots of character. Loved the history of the hotel and it was a good value.

Nostalgia probably its best attribute. Relaxing, even if a bit seedy by today's standards.

needs alot of maintenance great view and location run down

The facility is really run down. Doesnt look like there has been any maintenace work done for years. Certain areas smell moldy. Its not really a Casino but hotel only. I would prefer a Motel 6

I loved this place. What a great value. I had a very clean, Premium Lake View Room. I loved the Sinatra-era feeling of the place. Gardens are nicely planted and lawns very green. Would definitely go back

Run down. Needs to be redone. Poor casino. Shower and bathroom . Depressing atmosphere.

I'll start with the deal killer. The shower goes from hot to cold. I couldn't get it to level out no matter what I tried. Cottage cheese ceilings are everywhere except where there are crooked mirror tile ceilings. The furniture in the lobby is so tired and stained that I would have a hard time getting Salvation Army to pick it up if I donated it for […] free. Peeling 1960s wallpaper is everywhere. Stains on the carpet and bedspreads, loose outlets and scratched up furniture makes it even more offensive. The restaurant should be avoided at all cost. The menu is bland and although they have a somewhat decent view, it doesn't compensate for the service. We walked out after waiting for 20 minutes to order even thought the restaurant was not busy and the manager and hostess walked past us many times. The only redeeming quality for this hotel is the location. If you can get anything else close to Incline Village then go there instead. Except for the top two floors, there have been no renovations since Frank Sinatra stayed here decades ago. Mehr
