Edgewood Tahoe: Your Dream Lake Tahoe Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! You're about to get the raw, unfiltered truth about some hotel. Forget those polished, perfectly-worded brochures. I'm here to spill the tea, the coffee, and maybe even a little bit of the complimentary shampoo – because, let's face it, that stuff’s like gold. We're talking about a deep dive, a full audit, a total expose of this place.
SEO and Metadata (Before We Get Messy):

GET. READY.
Okay, so, let's dive in, shall we? My experience… it was a journey. Seriously.
Accessibility – The First Hurdle?
Right off the bat, I'm looking at accessibility. Crucial, right? No one wants to arrive at a hotel only to find they're trapped upstairs with no way to reach the pool. This hotel… mostly delivered. The elevator was a godsend, big enough for a wheelchair and a slightly panicked me. I mean, I was genuinely impressed by the effort. Ramp access was decent, which is a major plus. However, a few areas felt… slightly neglected. A grab bar here, a wider doorway there… It's like they got 90% of the way and ran out of steam. Overall, I'd say: Good bones, but still room for some serious TLC in the accessibility department.
On-Site Grub & Lounging – Feed Me!
Alright, where do we begin? The on-site restaurants and lounges – essential for a lazy vacation, right? There's a lot to unpack here.
- Restaurants: There were a few. The restaurant was okay had some international options. I felt a tad let down. I'm a sucker for authentic cuisine, and this was… well, it tasted like they played it safe. The Asian option? A little bland, honestly. Sigh. The buffet? Alright, the buffet was pretty good. But I swear I saw the same scrambled eggs for three days straight. The coffee shop was a saving grace, honestly.
- Poolside Bar: This was the place to be! Drinks were decent, the views were stunning, and… well, let’s just say I may or may not have had a few too many margaritas. The perfect spot for a little relaxation and maybe a few very awkward tan lines.
Wheelchair Accessible – The Fine Print This again! Overall, the experience was much better for those with wheelchairs. This also includes the room, which had plenty of room for maneuvering and the bathroom was spacious and functional.
Internet Access – My Digital Addiction
- Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Hallelujah! And it actually worked. I was able to bingewatch my favorite show and not get interrupted. So a win.
- Internet [LAN]: Never touched it. Who even uses LAN anymore?
- Wi-Fi in public areas: Spotty, but fine. I didn't spend much time in the public areas.
Things to Do – Amusement, Indeed!
Here's where things got interesting, and I'm talking about the fun stuff!
- Ways to Relax: Ugh, the spa. The spa was pretty awesome. Seriously, the massage was life-changing. I'm not even kidding. I felt like a new person after getting that body scrub. And I'm not a spa person, but I will come back just for this spa again!
- Fitness Center: I attempted a quick, half-hearted workout. It was… adequate. The equipment seemed mostly up-to-date, but the air con was a little feeble. Let's just say I didn't break a sweat.
- Pool with a View: The view from the pool was stunning. This was the best thing in the hotel! Pure relaxation, and those photos though!
- Sauna, Spa, Steamroom: All good. The sauna was hot, the spa was amazing, and the steam room… well, let's just say I spent a solid hour in there contemplating the meaning of life.
Cleanliness and Safety – Germophobe Alert!
Okay, COVID times, I'm on high alert! Their safety measures were impressive. The mandatory mask use, mandatory temperature checks, hand sanitizers everywhere…I felt safe, even though my inner germaphobe was still flailing. The rooms were definitely sanitized. That gave me a little peace of mind.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – The Food Saga Continues
- A la carte in restaurant: Some good stuff, but expensive!
- Breakfast [buffet]: Good, with some repeats.
- Room service [24-hour]: Awesome. Late-night pizza? Yes, please!
- Poolside bar: Drinks, views, and potentially regrettable decisions.
Services and Conveniences – The Boring But Necessary Bits
- Air conditioning in public area: It worked!
- Concierge: Helpful.
- Daily housekeeping: Solid. The room was always spotless.
- Elevator: Essential.
- Laundry Service: Nice to have, but I didn't use it.
- Luggage storage: Handy.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always good to have.
- Smoking area: Ugh, but at least it's there.
For the Kids I didn't have any kids with me, but there's kids facilities. I imagine it is amazing for parents.
Available in All Rooms – The Little Details
- Air Conditioning: Essential!
- Blackout Curtains: Glorious! Sleep till noon every day.
- Coffee/tea maker: Caffeine fix, sorted.
- Free bottled water: Always a plus.
- Hair dryer: Saved me a lot of trouble.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Yes, please!
The Messiest Rant of All: Some Rooms For Improvement
Okay, here comes the mess. Because every hotel has a dark side, right?
- The Elevator Saga: One day, it just… stopped. We were stuck for about 15 minutes. It could use some love.
- The Gym: The gym was tiny. And I saw a very interesting stain on the treadmill, which I opted to avoid.
- The Service: Not all the staff was great. Some of them were lovely and couldn't do enough for you, some were grumpy, and I could hear people complaining that they were understaffed.
Final Verdict – The Truth, Unfiltered
Ultimately, this hotel offers a pretty good stay. The good outweighs the bad. I'd go again. Because the spa and the pool are worth it. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
- Would I go back? Yes, definitely.
- Would I recommend it? Yes, but with a caveat. Go in with realistic expectations.
SEO and Metadata Conclusion, the real ending
I've laid it all bare, folks! Now you know what really lurks behind the hotel's polished façade. So, go forth, book your trip, and remember: always pack extra hand sanitizer. Because you never know. Wink
Phoenix North's BEST Hotel? Red Roof Inn I-17 Review!
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're doing this. We're doing Edgewood Tahoe, and we're doing it like we mean it. This isn't some perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is the raw, unfiltered joy (and maybe a little grumbling) of a Tahoe trip.
Edgewood Tahoe: My Chaotic Adventure (aka, my attempt at relaxation)
Day 1: Arrival and "Luxury" Expectations (Shattered…but in a good way?)
- 1:00 PM - ARRIVAL! (Emphasis mine. I am SO ready for a vacation.) Landed at Reno-Tahoe International. The rental car process? A battle of wills. Apparently, "compact SUV" and "actual SUV" have wildly different definitions at Budget. Ended up with something decidedly NOT compact, which is going to make parking at the resort…interesting.
- 2:30 PM - Check-in & Initial Panic. Pulling up to Edgewood is…wow. Picture postcard perfect. Lush green lawns, the shimmering lake, the crisp mountain air… I swear, I may or may not have teared up. But then I saw the line at check-in. A literal line. Am I REALLY going to have to wait in line? For relaxation? The irony is killing me.
- 3:30 PM - Room Reveal (and a Tiny Crisis). Okay, finally. The room. It's gorgeous. Seriously. Fireplace, lake view, king-sized bed… This is living. BUT. The air conditioning is doing that weird thing where it just blows hot air sometimes. I swear I saw a cloud of dust form after touching the thermostat. Minor setback? Yeah, maybe. (I'm sweating tho. I'm VERY sweaty right now. This heatwave is real and I’m unprepared.)
- 4:00 PM - First Cocktail…and the Guilt. Found the bar. Ordered a ridiculously expensive, but utterly delicious, margarita. Sipping this, overlooking the lake, is pure bliss. But then the guilt hits. What about that email I need to answer? The laundry I haven't started? Nope. No. This is vacation. I am NOT answering email. I am NOT doing laundry. (I lied to myself. I did a ton of emails on the side.)
- 5:00 PM - Stroll of the Lawn (and a Close Call with a Goose). This is where the magic happens. Me and the lake. Gorgeous views, but I think I almost got mugged by a gaggle of geese. I swear, the matriarch gave me the stink eye. Almost turned into a goose chase. Not even metaphorically.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner at the Bistro (and a Revelation About My Appetite). The Bistro is cute, and the food is even cuter. I ordered the steak. It was incredible (and it cost more than my car payment). I devoured it. Honestly, I think I could have eaten a second. Turns out, vacation makes me ravenous. Who knew?
- 7:30 PM - Walk on the Beach and Deep Thoughts about Life, the Universe, and Marshmallows. The beach is quiet. The stars are brilliant. The air smells of pine. I’m contemplating what kind of chocolate I want when I have to stop in the lobby and ask them to fix the AC. (This is getting old.)
- 8:30 PM - Back to Reality (with a tiny crisis). Finally. The AC is fixed. But… the electric blanket is on the fritz and I can’t find the remote. Now, if I'm chilly or not. The struggle is real, people.
Day 2: Golf, Lake, and the Search for Inner Peace (Spoiler Alert: Still Searching)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast Buffet (and a Plea to the Coffee Gods). The buffet! It's glorious. I piled my plate ridiculously high. The coffee? Weak. A crime, honestly. I'm pretty sure I need a triple shot of espresso to even function today. I swear I'm going to find out where they get the beans.
- 9:00 AM - Attempted Golf (Humiliation, Frankly). Okay, I booked a golf tee time. I thought, "Ah, a leisurely morning of golf." Turns out, I'm terrible. Like, embarrassingly bad. I spent more time in the sand trap than on the fairway. The other golfers were very polite, but I could feel the pity. I’m tempted to just become a professional sand trap dweller at this point.
- 12:00 PM - Lakeside Lunch (Redemption!). The lunch was fabulous. Fish tacos on the patio. Lake views. The sun feels good. I feel hopeful.
- 1:00 PM - Lake Time (and the Questionable Decision of the Paddleboard). Rented a paddleboard. "Easy," they said. "Relaxing," they said. I'm pretty sure I spent more time in the lake than on the paddleboard. I blame the wind. And my lack of upper body strength. And maybe the questionable stability of the board itself. But hey, at least I got a good laugh…and a face full of lake water.
- 3:00 PM - Spa Time (Finally, Some Bliss! …Until my Massage Therapist and I start to Chat About My Cat’s Issues). The spa is heaven. The massage was incredible. The masseuse was friendly, and the relaxation was intense. Until. We started talking about my cat. (I'm a cat lady. Admit it. It is what it is.) After 45 minutes, I felt better, and she knew all about my cat. (The therapist was great, but my cat's eating habits are nobody’s business!)
- 4:00 PM - Nap…or Not Nap. After the spa, I figured I was going to nap. But then I started to hyperthink and I'm already feeling a bit agitated. The truth is I feel like I'm spending the entire time trying to maximize relaxation or I'll be judged by the people I love.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner at the Restaurant (Ambiance, Great. Dinner? Ugh). The restaurant is fancy. The wine list is impressive. My meal was…meh. Seriously, I could have made something better at home. This is a serious bummer.
- 7:30 PM - Casino Stroll (and a Mild Addiction Warning). The casino is right there. Popped in for a quick look. Ended up playing blackjack. Won a whole $20. (I have the willpower of a mosquito.) Okay, maybe not. But I walked away without losing a ton. I'm considering this a win.
- 9:00 PM - A Walk on the Beach (and the Realization That I'm Already Sad to Leave). This time, I walk in the dark. The lake? It's always serene. I'm starting to feel a little wistful. I don't want to go home. The pace of the resort has wormed its way into me.
Day 3: Farewell Tahoe (and a Promise to Return…and Maybe Learn to Golf)
- 8:00 AM - Last Breakfast (and the Ultimate Coffee Fix). Got it. Delicious coffee. Thank you, gods of coffee.
- 9:00 AM - Lake Walk (One Last Time). Walked to the lake. One last look. I wish I could turn back time.
- 10:00 AM - Check-Out (Reluctantly). The most difficult part. The end. Oh, well.
- 11:00 AM - Headed home (and planning the return trip). Traffic. Back to reality. Back to the emails. But. I'll come back. I'll learn to golf. I'll conquer the paddleboard. And I'll definitely bring my cat. (Just kidding…maybe.)
This trip was a messy, hilarious, imperfect gem. And I loved almost every minute of it. Until next time, Edgewood. You've got a hold of my heart.
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Ace-inn Matsusaka - Your Japanese Dream Getaway
Okay, so... What *is* this whole "FAQ" thing, anyway? Like, is it a cult? (Just kidding... mostly.)
Right, right. The FAQ. Stands for “Frequently Asked Questions.” Think of it as a digital, chaotic, and utterly imperfect attempt at answering those niggling little questions that keep popping into your head. Like, "Why is my cat judging me?" or "Does pineapple *really* belong on pizza?" (Don't @ me on that one, by the way.) It's supposed to be helpful, I guess. Or at least entertaining. I'm aiming for the latter, but with me, who knows? I'm more like a hyperactive squirrel on espresso.
Okay, fine. But… how does *this* FAQ actually *work*? Is there a secret handshake involved?
No secret handshake, sadly. Though I *did* try to invent one involving interpretive dance and a rubber chicken. Management (aka, my inner critic) shut that down real quick. Essentially, this is a collection of questions (like the ones *you* might have!) and answers. I *try* to keep it organized, but my attention span is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. So, expect tangents. Expect rambling. Expect the occasional existential crisis. Embrace the chaos!
What even prompted you to create *this* particular FAQ? Was it some kind of existential crisis?
Whoa, that's... close. Not *directly*. But, you know, everything *leads* to an existential crisis eventually, right? I'm feeling particularly… chatty today. And slightly sleep-deprived, which always helps the creative process (read: messes). I wanted to explore, to *ramble* and to just, generally, get some thoughts out, formatted for the internets to consume, and that's kind of what happened here. It's easier to make the questions, and the answers just kind of… bubble up. And what's the worst that could happen? No one reads it? Fine by me! I can keep mumbling to myself.
Are you… *really* answering these questions honestly? Like, no pulling punches (or trying to be objective)?
Honestly? Let's just say I'm wearing my "authenticity pants" today. These pants are really, really tight, and they often crack under pressure. Expect opinions, biases, and maybe a few outright lies if they're particularly *entertaining*. I’m not promising anything. I'm not even sure *I* know the truth, half the time. I'm just trying to stumble through this life with a vaguely amused expression and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. Take everything with a grain of salt... or twelve.
Where do you get your "facts" (air quotes, definitely air quotes) from? The internet? Your imagination? The ramblings of a particularly eccentric cat?
A bit of everything, frankly. I'll poke around the internet, because, y'know, gotta pretend I'm doing my research. But mostly, it's a glorious blend of observation, anecdote, questionable memories (I have the memory of a goldfish, honestly), and pure, unadulterated *speculation*. My cat, Mr. Fluffernutter, *does* occasionally wander in with his own pronouncements on the state of the world, but I usually dismiss them. He's got a bias towards tuna. So take that as you will.
This is getting... weird. What exactly is the main theme of this "FAQ" anyway?
Oh, good question! (I think you're asking that anyway, since I apparently set it up myself.) I'd say the main theme is... *life*. Or, rather, my *attempt* to understand and survive life, one confusing, hilarious, exasperating, and occasionally beautiful moment at a time. Basically, expect musings on everything, ranging from the profound to the utterly inconsequential, held together by the sheer force of my personality. And a whole lot of coffee. Or is it wine? Who knows? (I'm rambling again, aren't I?)
Okay, let's get into it – what kind of questions are we talking about here?
Well, here's where things get wonderfully messy. Expect queries about… well, anything and everything. I'm open to topics. We could cover…
- My crippling obsession with coffee (it's a deep-seated relationship, okay?)
- The existential angst of choosing socks (yes, it *is* a real problem)
- My disastrous attempts at gardening (they ended in a slug uprising)
- The meaning of life. No, seriously. I'm still working on it!
What's the deal with the… schema markup? Are you just showing off? (Because, ngl, it's a little impressive).
*Pfff*. Show off? Me? Never! Okay, maybe a *little* bit. But honestly, I'm trying to play nice with the search engines. You know, help them understand what the heck is going on in this glorious mess of a FAQ. And, let's be honest, I wanted to try! I learned a thing or two, that's all. Also, deep down, there's a sliver of me that *hopes* someone, *somewhere*, will actually read this. So if this helps and someone finds this, it'll be a good thing, right? Maybe? I’m just grasping at straws, aren't I?
What's the *worst* thing that could happen during this whole FAQ experience?
Oh, the possibilities are endless!
- I run out of coffee. (End of the world, literally.)
- I completely lose the plot and start writing a manifesto about squirrels taking over the world.
- Someone actually *reads*World Wide InnsEdgewood Tahoe Resort Stateline (NV) United States
