The Stardust Lodge is actually a lot nicer than it looks in the pictures. The sign in the front of it kind of makes it look like an older hotel, but it’s actually really nice. It’s not one of those upidy chain hotels like the Marriott or Embassy Suites. If you want that, they’re across the street. This is more of a quaint, down to earth hotel. The rooms have cute little windows and entrances to them, and they’re pretty nice sized. The rooms even have a small kitchen with an oven in them.

But the best part about this place is its location. It’s literally right across the street from the Heavenly gondola. So you can literally just walk right across the street with your skis or snowboard and get right on the lift. It’s also just down the street from all the casinos on the Nevada side of the stateline. A great place to stay if you don’t want to be at the casinos, but you wanna be close enough to head on over whenever you want.

They have a heated pool that’s open year round and I’ve actually seen people swimming in it at night during the winter. Looked a little cold, but they seemed fine.

I’d recommend this place for sure. It’s not badly priced, it’s in the perfect location and the rooms are nice. What more could you ask for?
