View from hotel balcony, towards downtown Truckee
Sue S.

For my first visit to Truckee and the Sierras, we wanted to stay "in the middle of it all" in downtown Truckee. We found that the Truckee hotel was just that - the perfect place to relax, walk the town and just chill out. The booking process was easy, and we received text updates from the hotel on the day of check in. We received the code to the door to get in, and our key cards were waiting for us as promised. Our room was on the third floor - lots of stairs! The hotel did text and ask if we were ok with stairs - since it is a registered historic venue, it is was it is:) We found our room (American, queen bed with private bath) to be spotless and lovely. Old-timey clawfoot tub with shower in bathroom, and the sink was outside the bathroom - the sink had separate hot and cold faucets . We had our own Keurig coffee maker, pods, tea bags, and breakfast biscuits. Windows were open, with several fans they had brought in: the temps reached mid-80's while there, and the building was quite hot. On the second floor alcove there is a breakfast area with packaged breads and biscuits, coffee maker with Peets regular and decaf pods, many different kinds of Stash teas, cold and hot water dispenser. Small microwave as well. No fridge. In this area there is a door that opens to the outside balcony, where we sat and looked out over the town, sipping coffee and relaxing. A nice respite from the heat. The hotel sits above Moody's restaurant, which can get quite loud in the evenings. The sound was not an issue inside the hotel though. Nor did we hear anything from any adjoining room to ours. Things to know: First of all, this is an old hotel, beautifully maintained. Observations about it are my own, not blaming the hotel. Just want folks to know the ins and outs of this old beauty! First of all, the floors in our room sloped in areas, so it can feel like you are off balance or having a stroke! Kind of an adventure! Second, we were on the third floor, and the stairs going to the third floor are deceptively steep, and stairway is not well lit. Seems like it could be a bit dangerous. I did give this feedback to the management; they are faced with the hotel being a historical building and alterations can come at a steep price and impact. That said, maybe a lamp nearby, or stick-on lights? Just be aware when using the stairs. These are just my observations, not at all a reason to avoid staying here. All in all, it was a lovely stay, despite the heat. Will visit again when it is cooler out!

Wow, what a great spot. I don't even know where to start. Ok well first of all, ok communication isn't great as far as booking a room. But with that being said, the place was amazing... old but kept nice. Very old actually.. we loved the charm and history of it all. Lounge areas with chess boards and some couches and keurigs in every room with peets pods! Very comfy beds that were clean and made up nice. We were the only ones there! Balcony with chairs to enjoy drinks on.. so cool and can't writ to go back.

The sink is by the door. Was this a brothel at one time?

I am so thrilled we were able to get a room here! I wanted "unique" and we found it, here, in the center of town. The environment is totally authentic Westward Movement with a hint of 1900s European Emigree chic. The bed was comfy. The tub/shower was fantastic- great water pressure! The security was sound. Everything was very clean. The price was not crazy. This was just perfect. Take the opportunity to get a bottle of wine from Uncorked Truckee (a block away), and sit on the 2nd floor balcony. A perfect way to end an evening!

Wow! Absolutely perfect! This hotel is perfect for a quick getaway. We stayed in room 319, I was a little nervous about "shared" bathroom but we had our own with the room number on the door and it locked. Simply put it's just not in your room no big. I was there on a Friday and Saturday and did NOT hear the noise everyone was talking about or expecting? This location is walking distance to all the restaurants and action. We walked to their famous Cottonwood Restaurant and back. In my opinion you don't need a car when you stay, there are free busses that take you to Donner Lake and all over. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, the free coffee and snack area were awesome. There is no TV in the room but there is one in the "TV" room as well as a cool balcony to drink your coffee The front desk has an easy text communication and there is a code to get in the hotel. I WILL be coming back. Thank you Friendly,Rustic, and History infused Truckee Hotel my stay was awesome!

We had the most amazing time at the truckee hotel!!! First off, I really appreciate check in, they give you a door code and your key is waiting on the counter! Everything is decorated western style and it seems like a lot of the wall print and stairs are authentic! Our room was cozy perfect for two, lovely bathroom and shower! There is a common area with some games and dvds to watch a movie also there is a place to get coffee and sit out on a porch area with chairs overlooking downtown truckee!!

This place is trashy. For $180 a night I could find a better tent to sleep in. Not as pictured on their site. Shared bathroom?! With strangers stuff everywhere. The room smelled, the food was over priced. $33 for pasta with no protein. We don't have a bathroom, TV, fridge, coffee machine, no closet, dresser or desk to put out stuff on. Not sure hot this is listed as a hotel and not a hostel.

1. Webcam so your friends can watch you doing your best James Dean under the sign at the gas station across the street in real time. 2. 59 clams for a room. 3. Trains trains and more trains all night long to inhabit your sleep and make your dreams of Carnagie and Ayn Rand. 4. A bar on the first floor with conversations of the fair and circuses. Very tasty vittles too. 5. Remodel coming! 6. Real time webcam. 7. Webcam.

We had lunch at Jack's and we were looking for hotels on the internet and came across Gravity Haus. They had a promotion going and a one bedroom suite was $140.00 for Monday night Oct. 7th. I showed the promotion to the person at check in and was told there are none available. I showed him my phone saying there are three available. He found one for us. (Monday Night!) He asked if we had had a pet. (They advertise heavily on pet friendly rooms.) He told me there is a $50.00 pet fee. The room was nice but definitely not four star!! No closets or safe. Had a fridge and microwave but the sink is a bar sink !0"x10" and the faucet leaked. The TV in the front room was straight out of the nineties with two remotes, one for cable and one for ??????. Never did get it to work. Used the TV in the bedroom and it was fine. The bed and bedding were amazing. Bathroom shower was warm and then a blast of burning hot water. Tile was older with not clean grout. Furniture seemed a bit miss matched. Balcony view of the busy road All in all it was just okay. Can't comment on the restaurant or services as most everything was closed on Monday night. Checked out around ten the next morning and they charged me $191.20 plus fees and taxes, even charged tax on the "pet fee" Total for a one Monday night was $288.41. I called every day for four days asking for a manager to call me so I could discuss the charges. Was promised the manager would call back. Never happened!! Very shady business practice. You decide, is this where you want to stay when visiting the Truckee area ??

Our room had a full sized bed and also a bunk bed. The amount of space was just enough for the 2 of us. The bathroom is a little small, specifically the shower but since we're small people it was fine. Check-in is contactless--they send you info on how to check in and where to park the day before your arrival. I really appreciated how fast they responded to requests and concerns. I texted them twice about a light bulb and also about the door code not working and someone was there to fix both issues within a few minutes. Also, the breakfast spread in the morning was really good! They had a coffee machine, fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, granola bars. In addition there was an also a different burrito or sandwich plus pastry for us to grab each morning.

Lovely "cabin in the woods" style lodge!…read more Nestled in forested trees, the fresh woodsy air immediately transports you into zen mode. Situated near Donner Lake, the Inn is perfectly situated to be close to the famous Donner Historic Park (just a few minutes up the freeway) and also the beautiful Donner Lake beach area. There is also a great little pub across the street from the beach area, too. Downtown Truckee is also just a few minutes down the freeway. And, although it wasn't snow season yet, it's also close by the Donner Ski area. The property as some parking spots that are convenient to the lodging rooms. The family run lodge has no-frills style breakfast take-away items - such as boiled eggs, yogurt, granola bars, and also some featured made items (scones and breakfast burritos), but be aware it's available from around 7:30a (and our hikes had us leaving earlier than that). The rooms are "self-check" style, so be prepared to read your follow up communications from the managers w/your check in process. The rooms are simple but clean - featuring a controlled temperature stovepipe style fire place and window seat overlooking the forest behind the lodge. There is also a small stream on one side of the property. All-in-all a great spot that's convenient and less crowded and less-pricey than most spots in the Truckee area and the rooms are quaint and rustic but nice, too.

We arrived shortly after check-in time on a Wednesday and were able to get our keys without too much trouble, although the lady that was checking us in didn't seem too suited for customer service - she gave off sarcastic, "I don't want to be here" vibes. Our room itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Some of the items could have been better stocked before our stay, such as the tissues - I think we only had a few of them in the box so quickly ran out and had to request housekeeping bring more the next day. Housekeeping isn't done daily so you do have to request it manually if you need anything. There were a couple of water stains on the ceiling but nothing too major. All toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, and hand soap are provided and the quality is actually pretty decent. I was very impressed with the complimentary breakfast included in your stay. You have hot items like eggs, potatoes, and sausage as well as cereal, muffins, bread, oatmeal, and a waffle maker. The hot items rotate, too, so you don't have the exact same breakfast each day of your stay. Staff was friendly, and the common area was very comfortable with a fair amount of seating. I believe coffee is also available all day. There was a power outage during our stay that lasted around 6-7 hours but luckily it happened in the middle of the night so most people probably didn't even realize it and it didn't impact our stay at all. I just happened to notice when I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed lights not turning on and some electronics not working.

I would recommend staying here if you are headed to North Star or Palisades to go skiing and snowboarding. Very conveniently located! The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Our fifth-floor room was sharp and spacious. Bed and pillows were comfortable enough. We enjoyed the Club Lounge access (same floor!); it was an amazing amenity and absolutely worth it. One of the highlights was meeting onsite manager Gus completely by happenstance. He immediately elevated what was already a wonderful, customer-forward experience. It's not vacation unless I make a trip to the spa. And I am so grateful for my experience! I had a 100-minute massage with Joey, and my knots, adhesions, and trigger points were no match for her firm yet incredibly gentle hands. She took extra time and care with me, and I was especially touched by her compassion as we discussed some of my ongoing needs following breast cancer. After my massage, I had a 50-minute facial with Bree, and her hands were unbelievably therapeutic and relaxing. She listened carefully to my concerns and personalized the experience beautifully. The California Organic Facial using Eminence Organic Skin Care left my skin deeply hydrated, refreshed, and glowing. Five stars for the property, the setting, the service, and especially the people who made our stay so memorable.
