Truckee Donner Lodge was ok for our ski trip in the area. The property itself doesn't have much to offer and the area around the property, being by I-80, has only a gas station and Taco Bell. It does offer breakfast and there is a hot tub outdoors. The website says "coffee and tea in common areas" but the coffee machine was shut down after breakfast during our 3-day stay. It would have been nice to be able to get some hot drink after skiing the whole day. It was of course very expensive during the Christmas holiday considering the property and facilities.
