“Based on what I've gathered, I would say this inn struggles with basic cleanliness and safety; reports of bloodstains and questionable characters raise serious concerns. While the provided linens may appear clean, the overall experience seems far from acceptable. I'd advise looking elsewhere for a more secure and hygienic stay in South Lake Tahoe.”
