Truckee Donner Lodge

Convenient location and nice clean, spacious rooms

Truckee Donner Lodge is, without a doubt, the most pleasantly surprising hotel I've ever stayed at. Recommended by a friend, I was initially skeptical about its 3-star rating. However, I was quickly proven wrong. The rooms at Truckee Donner Lodge are incredibly spacious, featuring comfortable desks and sofas, not to mention the convenience of having both a microwave oven and a refrigerator. The daily housekeeping service is impeccable, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment throughout our stay. What truly sets this lodge apart is its complimentary breakfast. The waffles and sausages were a hit with the kids, making our mornings delightful. The hotel also boasts a pool and a cozy space filled with computers, books, magazines, newspapers, and toys for children. It embodies the saying, 'Though small, it has everything one could need.' The front desk staff, especially Alex, were outstanding. Alex was incredibly nice and supportive, catering to almost all our requests with a smile. The lobby's spaciousness, complemented by a comforting fireplace, adds to the lodge's charm. The availability of free drinks in the lobby was the cherry on top. Alex told and guided us everything about the lodge. In my eyes, Truckee Donner Lodge deserves more than a 4-star rating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay. This lodge isn't just a place to sleep; it's a place that feels like home.

I had a great nights stay after a full day of snowboarding, bed was comfy and sheer was great! Would stay here again

What a delightful place…the staff were top notch and the facilities clean. I’d love to come back in the summer!

Everything was good, except for one suggestion. Please get a thick mattress topper or pad. The mattress was too firm for this side sleeper.

My husband and I were driving to Oakland from Reno during the last blizzard. After 360'ing on the highway we knew we had to abort our mission to get home. So I immediately went online and found The Truckee Donner Lodge and we pulled off the icy highway. After the intensely stressful drive, we were so relived by the caring service at the front desk. The sweet woman at the front desk calmed our nerves and gave us our room that we had just booked. She felt like a savior. Our one night stay was just what we needed. A chance to relax and do nothing but watch the snow fall outside our window. The breakfast in the morning was good. There is a coffee machine that seemed to be available for use all day. The room was very clean. We were so happy with our stay!

Stayed one night. It was good. The heater worked well and wasn’t too loud. The bathroom fan was rattle-y, though. Fast hot water, good towels, full size shampoo. Fireplace in the reception area was warm and pleasant.

The hotel is nice but not a lot of amenities. It was expensive enough I would have thought there was at least room service. Everyone except one person was super friendly and helpful.
