The Block @ Tahoe

Anyone ever stay here? It's the Motel owned by boarders for boarders...

It was only $48 a night and seemed cool and in a good location. So i'm staying there with a couple of buddies next week.

Any reviews?

I know some heads up there so I'm hoping to get a couple days in there.

I here it's the place to be if you just want to get into the life for a couple nights. Great ride/stay place. Should get the SPY room... Have some fun at Whiskey dicks.

I've been there but haven't stayed there. The rooms are really nice, at least the 3 I were in. All I know is the night life is awesome. Party all night. When I was there they were filming for G4 TV so there were tons of heads, and i'm pretty sure it's not quiet there all the time. It's very party oriented.
Just my two cents.

Thats a good price! weekends it's usually overpriced. I stayed there once 2 seasons ago. There was a party in the parking lot, free food and beer for all the guests. It's definitely a fun spot

Lol

Sounds like a fun place. My buddy and I will be there Monday night in town for some skiing/boarding. I doubt the place has much going on during the week...here's hoping I'm wrong. Hopefully there's still snow in the mountains. Probably get a little sideways at Whiskey Dicks Monday night...Skiing with a hang over is much more fun...

The block is a good place to not get a lot of sleep. It used to be a shi##y run down motel. Now its just a run down motel. There is a party there every night, no joke. Its super close to the casinos though. If your riding Heavenly, you are with in walking distance from the Village tram.
