More about 7 Seas Inn
Location location location and very friendly owners!
by TripAdvisor Member mjpothie
We stayed here over the fourth of July and had a truly awesome time, thanks to the owners of the 7 Seas. It is located literally right around the corner from the Casinos and Heavenly Village, and is just a few blocks from the beach. Talk about location!
The rooms aren't luxury rooms, but they are perfectly fine if you just need a nice clean place to stay, at a good price, and in a prime location. The continental breakfast was also above average and was available until 11am, which is great for late-sleepers like me!
Overall, excellent value and location.
our new vacation home
by TripAdvisor Member monica&Nancy
This hotel is a little old, but very clean indeed.
The new owners were very friendly, treated us as if we were family. Loved the continental breakfast, loved the location, loved the owners, loved their dog, loved the hospitality
It was our first time in Lake Tahoe and we will definitely stay at this hotel again. Worth the stay and price.
I garantee that you will not be dissapointed. This place will be my next home away from home.
you get what you pay for

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and won't do it again.
I was in town for the Lake Tahoe Marathon, and I requested a quiet room, knowing I'd need a little sleep before the event. I was put in a room in between people shouting at each other in Russian and a family of a couple dozen, based on the noise they created. I was woke up every 1/2 hour or so until everyone finally went to sleep. I had to get up at 6am for the race.
It's an old hotel - dirty floors/carpet, mattresses that are about 10 years past their prime, thread-bare bedding, and paper-thin walls. Yes, the spa was nice for aching muscles, but badly in need of a cleaning.
Other tripadvisor folks liked the friendly manager, but I didn't get that vibe at all. She was very gruff and called my husband & I crazy for running in the marathon.
Great Attentive Owner Hosts
by TripAdvisor Member MJRosenthal
The owners of this family and pet friendly motel, Kent and Carolyn, are great and gracious hosts. They even greet you with refreshments upon your arrival. If you have a well behaved pet then this is the premier place to stay with your pet. These folks make you feel so much at home you won't want to leave. They also provide excellent service with a well stocked continental breakfast bar. Lastly, this motel is walking distance to their private beach and to snow skiing several blocks away. Plan on having wonderful amd memorable time.
Great hosts
by TripAdvisor Member Turfite
My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights in September and the nights were very cool. However the heating in the room was great and adjustable to our needs. Upon arrival we were treated to a drink by our host Kent which went down a treat after our journey from San Francisco.
Kent also provided a map of the area and indicated the good eating places. We loved Cabo Wabo in Harveys Casino so ate there both nights. The margaritas were fantastic.
The motel is a little outdated but very clean, and the hosts were great, even let me use the hotel computer to check in for onward flights. All in all a good place to stay and would not hesitate to re-book.
Really friendly
by TripAdvisor Member ICOS
The main reason I chose to stay here was because they allowed pets, but I was very happy with my decision. It may not look like much from the outside, but it is definitely one of those great finds
that I'd recommend to others.
The friendly people who run the place couldn't have been more accomodating. They even offered to watch our small dog so we could go out to dinner! The casinos, lake, and Heavenly gondola are all within easy walking distance from the inn. My room seemed a bit pricey, but it was very clean and comfortable. The fireplace is a nice touch as well. I'll be staying there again for sure.
Next to the Casinos and Heavenly
by TripAdvisor Member zbird7
Small, but cozy inn with jacuzzi, wireless internet, and short walk to the casinos, Heavenly gondola and lots of good resturants. Very close is a great Mexican taqueiria(tacos, etc.)--ask staff for directions.. Staff is friendly and informative. Rooms have small fridge and microwave. Nice choice of cold breakfasts, toasts, muffins, sweet bread and coffee, tea, etc.
For the price range (inexpensive): Excellent!
Suprisingly Good
by TripAdvisor Member wharris781
With all the cheap looking motels in the area I wasn't expecting much upon arrival but the 7 Seas definitely exceeded my expectations.
The location is extremely convenient (5 min. walk to the Heavenly gondola, even less than that to the major casinos) but it was the hospitality of the owners really put this place over the top. From inviting my party in for cocktails on more than one occassion, to providing discounted lift tickets, to offering me and my post skiing debilitated body a lift to my bus, the owners really went above and beyond the call of duty.
The rooms are comfortable, the location is great, and the service is beyond outstanding. I can't wait to go back.
A Great Stay All Around
by TripAdvisor Member Khaniferous
We were greeted with cocktails and conversation. It was a great relaxer after a 5 hour drive. To say the owners are pet friendly is an understatement. While we drank a glass of wine our dog got to play with the owner's dog which again was very welcome. Our first day, we went skiing and one of the owners was kind enough to walk and feed our dog. The breakfast is out nice and early, a big plus if you plan on hitting the slopes early. Also, they have discounted tickets to most of the mountains that saved us a couple bucks on the rather steeply priced lift tickets.
The rooms are well kept. The fireplaces are a nice touch and the year round hot tub is great for sore muscles. The amicable owners have definitely earned our loyalty and future business.
