I’ve been an owner at the ridge for 3 years. For our first stay since since IHG purchased the ridge when my wife checked in the front desk told her they were offering $100 resort credit if ONE of us participated in an update of improvements at the ridge. My wife specifically asked if she would have to attend and was told no, only me (her husband). I walked to the front desk a couple days later to inquire about the update. The Jen at the front desk set an appointment for me and told me all i needed to bring was a photo ID. I walked in the snow all the way down to the preview building. I was rudely turned away by the lady checking me in and said that I had to bring my wife. I told her that my wife was in our room watching our 3 kids. She continued to turn me away unless I could bring my wife. This was a complete waste of my time. As an owner at the ridge it is discouraging to deal with rude sales people. I spoke to Jen at the front desk on my way back to my room, she apologized, told me she would pass the message on to the manager of sales, and to expect a phone call. I have received no call from the manager. Since the manager of sales has made no attempt to rectify the situation I believe this poor behavior stems from the sales manager. If IHG really wants to make changes they should clean up the sales department, starting with the manager. Read less

WE have been going to the Ridge for 30 years. Since the new owners have taken over, they have reduced their staff. For instants: We did not have a mattress in the sofa bed; we called at 8pm to get a mattress and then again at 9pm and were told they only had 1 person for the whole resort taking care of problems. This is not like The Ridge. They also removed a lot of the kitchen items which were not enough for 6 people. When we went for our update at the sales office we had a lot of questions and they were suppose to get us the information we requested, but Ted and Troy did not get us any inf nor did they call me. From my prospected the resort had declined. The Staff doesn't even know where to catch the bus from the Cascade building,. He was very rude. Read less

Checked in & ate our 1st meal at The Bistro! Perfectly cooked Pork Porterhouse with grilled asparagus & Grill Salmon Salad with Corn Salza! Good price compared to Chart House 2 miles away. Looking forward to breakfast! FYI: Happy hour drinks $5 .... loved the Raspberry Lemonade Skyy Vodka ! Bartender Special!

We traveled to The Ridge Tahoe and enjoyed it. The place is showing it's age but is a wonderful location. The hot tubs are older but still do the trick. The rooms furnishings are dated, but still completely functional. I wasn't a fan of the sleep number beds.
