Perfect shelter from the storm.
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!

Good hotel overall.
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.

A nice hotel
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.

Loved the location; conveniently located and ample parking. Easy check in/out. Free breakfast and coffee/hot cocoa. Staff are nice and helpful. Looks like there’s short staffing as 1 person is in charge of breakfast (adding food items, cleaning the tables, refilling drink machine needs). The only reason why it’s not excellent is that the room looks dated and the mini fridge and bathroom fan are loud. The bed (coils) is also not comfortable. Some of the tiles in the bathroom are cracked. The room is very clean though!
