About Border House at Crystal Bay
Border House at Crystal Bay is a hotel described as a hidden gem, offering spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms at a reasonable price near Kings Beach. The beds are frequently noted as being super comfortable and decent. Many rooms feature spacious bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs and beautiful views. The property is smoke-free and pet-free. The location is a highlight, being close to Kings Beach and right across from a free shuttle service. Check-in is handled in the casino part of the business, after which guests walk to the separate hotel building. The hotel itself offers rooms but no on-site bar, restaurant, or lounge; dining options require a short drive. Some practical drawbacks are mentioned. The bathroom area is separated from the bedroom only by a curtain, lacking privacy, especially for the toilet. The rooms can be dark, with unmarked light switches. The entrance to the second floor has an unmarked step that is easy to trip over. There is no ice machine on the premises. Despite these points, many guests report a great overall experience, citing friendly staff and a quiet, comfortable stay, with several stating they would definitely return.
My husbund and I enjoyed our stay at the Border house. The room was nice. It had what we wanted- the large jacuzzi tub, and a fireplace. We treated ourselves to the steakhouse and lobster restaurant. The steak and lobster were delicious. A little footnote this hotel has no elevator it is a 2 story 10 room hotel .

Everything is great, my only suggestion is that they pick less intense daylight blue LEDs for the room, it's borderline uncomfortable with all the lights on

Greg is awesome! This hotel has such season and character! And it’s part of a casino. We’re more could you ask for? And it’s in Tahoe.
